Today, Monday, June 10, The Standard and Juxtapoz will present a special reception to honor the new downtown Los Angeles mural by Jux contributing editor, Hannah Stouffer. The reception kicks off at 6PM in the Standard Downtown lobby, but you, our Los Angeles readers, can go check out the finished mural right now! Come join us on this evening!

Using the very impermanent chalk as his medium, Paris-based artist, Philippe Baudelocque drew up this unidentifiable big cat filled with intricate designs and patterns.

The pairing of Moneyless’s geometric minimalist designs, with Mark Lyken’s abstract color fields is a winning combination. The two recently collaborated on a wall in Hackney, London for “The Canals Project.” The project will bring a number of artists to created art along the East London’s canal system with notable names confirmed such as Interesni Kazki, Remed, and Ekta.

A series of characters interacting with a chair in bizarre ways can be seen in these new wheat pastes by Parisian artist, Phillipe Herard.

We have always known Xuan Alyfe’s work to be extra small in scale, really tiny murals with lots of details and a bunch of trippy elements. So we were surprised when we saw he painted a large mural for the Poliniza Festival in Valencia, Spain, but certainly no disappointed. All the wonderful little nuances of his work are embedded in this new mural; it’s just been super sized.

San Miguel Okuda aka Okuda is a Madrid-based multi-disciplinary artist who occasionally paints outdoors and does so exceptional well. This brick wall in Detroit recently acquired a highly surreal, vibrantly colored piece from the artist.

While in Paris for his exhibition “California Soul” at Openspace, Los Angeles-based artist, Kofie hooked up with Sowat from the DMV crew to collaborate on a piece. The two went to the 430,000 sq ft abandoned casino supermarket in a Parisian suburb where Sowat has been inviting artists for over a year to come create work in. 

Taking in account the surrounding environment and visually interacting with it, Paris-based artist, Ox has created several new works each stylistically different but all having their own unique effect.

Escif  recently painted this cassette tape with the words “Hoy es el Futuro,” which translates in English to “Today is the Future” in his hometown of Valencia, Spain.

$1.1 million US dollars is how much a removed Banksy artwork sold at a private auction held by a London-based company named Sincura Group over the weekend. The group that specializes in hard to find aka unobtainable items for clients sold the piece to an unnamed buyer. The artwork was originally stenciled on the side of a thrift store in London where it received considerable attention from locals and street art fans before it was mysteriously removed. The piece first went up for sale at an auction in Miami, but was withdrawn from the auction after pressure from an organized international campaign.
