156 ALLSTARZ Representing at The Big Egg Hunt presented by Fabergé

Text by Faust. Cope2 and Indie links by 156 ALLSTARZ.
The Big Egg Hunt presented by Fabergé was the world's largest Easter egg hunt, featuring over 250 oversized eggs designed by an extraordinary roster of artists ranging from Jeff Koons to Zaha Hadid and Ralph Lauren to, well, me. Throughout the month of April these eggs were hidden all over the city in a veritable public art scavenger hunt. For a few remaining days, through April 25th, the entire collection can be seen on display at Rockefeller Center.
Recognizing the great, once in a lifetime opportunity to create a Fabergé egg, I encrusted mine in ornamental calligraphy composed of 5000 Swarovski crystals. All of the eggs are being auctioned off online with proceeds benefitting the Studio in a School and Elephant Family charities. You can bid on this unique work of art right now by heading to Paddle8. The auction ends on April 26th at 3pm.

DJ Dub Presents Yasiin Bey – Re:DEFinition [Mixtape]

It’s been many years since Mos Def has released a track that I liked. But I’ve always been a huge old school Mos Def fan.  He was a dope underground MC and I don’t know what happened to him after Black on Both Sides. It was one flop after another. Plus live he was always great at moving the crowd (MC). If you ever get a chance to see him live it’d be worth the price of admission.

Anyway  – if your a big fan of the old Mos Def or your in the mood to listening to some dope hip hop – YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO THIS!

All you wack MC’s should take notes….

JONONE West Side Stories



Fabien Castanier cordially invites you to the Opening Reception with the Artist
. SATURDAY, JUNE 7 6-10PM

JonOne is the quintessential urban contemporary artist. One who has broken the boundaries of his genre and has successfully re-imagined his roots as a street artist with paintings that place him at the very forefront of the movement. For the past 25 years, JonOne has developed an impressive body of work built on the foundation of his youth in New York during the 1980s.

Unable to contain his drive for artistic expression, he was quickly drawn to Paris, where he found the freedom and inspiration to create his most notable works and establish a burgeoning artistic career.

Reminiscent of Jackson Pollock or Jean Dubuffet, JonOne’s unique form of abstract expressionism seeks to redefine the limits of the street artist’s calligraphy. For his return to Los Angeles, he brings paintings that display his signature mastery of color composition and unparalleled energy.

The work for “West Side Stories” represents JonOne at his most daring, as he explores once again the ineffable spirit of the West Coast.

Since his first solo exhibition in L.A., “A Beautiful Madness,” in November 2012, which garnered international attention from the public and from top collectors, JonOne has quickly risen as a key figure in urban contemporary art. His global acclaim has only increased as his roots in New York, Paris, and now Los Angeles have brought him expanding interest on the international and national art market. From Paris to Shanghai, Casablanca to Hong-Kong, JonOne continues to make his mark on the cultural landscape.



“West Side Stories,” solo exhibition by JonOne, will open June 7 and run until July 12. This will be the second solo exhibition for the internationally acclaimed artist at the gallery, celebrating his return to the West Coast. “West Side Stories” also marks the occasion of the second exhibition since Fabien Castanier Gallery’s relocation to Culver City. 

The artist will be in Los Angeles for three weeks prior to the opening of the exhibition. For press inquiries, interviews, and additional requests, please contact the gallery.
