 Ericailcane
« Thread Started on Jan 2, 2009, 11:53pm »

Ericailcane a.k.a. Erica il Cane is an Italian street artist whose work is pretty difficult to summarize – but let's say it mashes up Victorian children's book illustration, macabre machine/animal contraptions, political satire and existential angst. Blu is one of his close friends and a frequent collaborator.

I just did a little writeup about him on my blog: http://commandax.blogspot.com/2009/01/ericailcanes-existential-menagerie.html

Ericailcane will his first L.A. solo show at Carmichael Gallery next Saturday, January 10th.

Ericailcane spent today painting this ginormous car-nivorous squirrel on the wall of a building on La Brea north of Melrose.

The show looked good. Loved the installations. Strong pieces, great execution, although I wish that there was some type of artist's statement explaining the symbolism/message behind each "series" of works. I know the overall gist of what he's trying to convey, but I just didn't see it in some of the pieces.

That top piece is magnificent. I love the expression on the wee fellas face not to mention his determination to enjoy a balloon, despite his own balloon keeping handicap.

Here's one of mine, from last year's fame. Untiltled on canvas, 100cms x 80cms:

Don't miss your chance to see his work in person if you are in SF. I walked away very impressed after seeing his stuff for the Fame Festival. Showthread is here.
