Unconventional Path: Greg Lamarche
Inspired by the dynamism of his native New York City and its role as an incubator of the outlaw art of graffiti, Greg Lamarche’s collages combine the city’s relentless rhythm and graffiti’s aggressive presence to express the power, elegance and rebelliousness of urban creativity. Using found materials and commercially printed papers from his vast collection of vintage printed matter, Lamarche abstracts graffiti’s visual language, playing with a profusion of font styles, word fragments, multiple layers, bold colors, rhythmic repetition, multiple perspective and movement. Each unique work of precisely hand-cut paper thus becomes an interplay of the directness of graphic design and the aesthetics of fine art.
Born and raised in New York, Greg Lamarche created his first collages in the sixth grade when he used fireworks wrappers found in his schoolyard. In 1981 he began writing graffiti on the streets and subways, and published Skills, a seminal graffiti magazine, in the early 1990s.
Lamarche has worked as both fine artist and graphic designer since 2000, and has been featured in numerous publications including the New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Boston Phoenix, Print, Juxtapoz, Modern Painters and Arkitip among others. His work is also featured in several new books, including Graffiti New York (Eric Felisbret, author; Luke Felisbret, contributor; forward by James Prigoff; October 2009, Abrams. publishers), Cutting Edges: Contemporary Collage, (R. Klantin, H. Hellige and J. Gallagher, editors; February 2011, Die Gestalten Verlag, publishers) and The History of American Graffiti, (R. Gastman, C. Neelon, authors; April 2011, Harper Collins, publishers) and Crack & Shine Iinternational, (Freddie Forsyth, editor; August 2011, Topsafe London, publishers). Lamarche created the cover graphics for World Piecebook (Sacha Jenkins, David Villorente, authors; June 2011, Prestel USA, publishers.)

EMPERIAL GALLERY is pleased to present NEW PRINTS AND EDITIONS, an exhibition of prints by CHRIS DAZE ELLIS curated by FERNANDO RUĺZ LORENZO. The exhibition consists of many of the past editions Daze has completed in conjunction with Nebo press and others. Many of the prints are a revealing glimpse into the artistic process of Daze's work. The sketchbook series of prints for example show the various forms of representational subject matter that populate the artist's sketchbooks. Musicians, urban landscapes and crowd scenes coexist with cloud forms, wild style letters and expressionist brush strokes.
Among other prints included in the exhibition, the artist has produced a unique print entitled "Singapore" which will debut at the OPENING RECEPTION: APRIL 2, 2012, 6-9 PM. It has been published by Dirty Pilot Press in a special edition. The print consists of imagery inspired by a recent trip to South East Asia and will be available during the opening reception.
Chris Daze Ellis' work can be found in the permanent collections of The Museum of The City of New York, The Brooklyn Museum, The Museum of Modern Art and the Ludwig Museum in Aachen, Germany as well as many other important public and private collections. In 2011, Chris Daze Ellis was the recipient of a SMART Power grant through The Bronx Museum of the Arts.
