Beyond The Streets on Paper

Opening on July 17, 2021, in Southampton, BEYOND THE STREETS on PAPER, is a new exhibition featuring over 500 works from over 100 artists. The exhibition brings together an alternative perspective on the shifting dialogues in contemporary art. Hosting the show is the Southampton Arts Center, a non-profit in an historic 150 year-old building with over 6,000 square feet of exhibition space and over three acres of grounds.

We are excited to share these 500 new works this summer in an immersive floor to ceiling environment complete with an entry installation painted directly on the walls by Steve ESPO Powers and drawing tables for guests to sit down and be creative.

Featuring over 100 artists who were trained in, and were inspired by graffiti, street art, hip-hop, punk rock, zines and underground art. The exhibition explores that, with a democratization of materials and surface, the intricateness of the ever-growing movement is both unique and revolutionary.

In the past, in two massive shows in Los Angeles and Brooklyn, BEYOND THE STREETS has helped create an entirely new historical lexicon for which to look at contemporary art. In our conversations with artists and friends over the last 16 months, a sentiment we continued to hear was both the desire to, and obligation, to create more intimate and immediate artwork. The idea of going back to the drawing board spawned this exhibition dedicated to paper. From emerging artists to some of the most influential names in art, this is about studying a centuries old practice and allowing the generations to speak to each other on equal ground.

BEYOND THE STREETS on PAPER will feature over 100 artists from around the world, some of which have never shown works on paper. The exhibition will be free and open to the public thanks in part to our partnership with Vistaprint, the design and marketing partner for small businesses around the world.

Additional support from Ingrid Arneberg and Will Marin

Cody Hudson — Forever Mountain Meaning (Redux)

Louis Buhl & Co. is pleased to present a new diptych edition titled Forever Mountain Meaning (Redux) with artist Cody Hudson. Hudson’s use of graphic lines and bright colors inspire a story of longing and hope, while also finding context within contemporary abstract painting. The artist is interested in the elemental use of shape as a signifier, but goes further by allowing the forms to be direct extensions of the painting’s poetic content. ⠀

In Forever Mountain Meaning (Redux), Hudson extracts elements from the natural world and reimagines them into simplified geometric shapes that work together to form a harmoniously expressive composition. Employing bold blocks of color, the works are mutually informed by Hudson’s external environments and his internal reflections. Complete with abstract figuration illuminating nature’s impact on the mind, Forever Mountain Meaning (Redux) captures the artist’s vacillating feelings throughout the prints’ period of creation.

SEE SAW at THESE DAYS LA

This weekend Louis M Schmidt and Nathaniel Russell’s exhibition SEE SAW  opens at These Days in Los Angeles, California. It’s been interesting, challenging and everything else communicating from afar while making work for the show and we decided to ask some of our friends to send us a piece for a group show within our two-person show, in the spirit of the see saw: rising and falling, high and low, our connection and dependency. we are glad so many people could participate and are pleased to present our show-within-a-show-that-is-also-part-of-the-show.
