Sabek “Origen II”

Official opening Saturday, July 13 at 6:00 p.m.
ADDA GALLERY IBIZA

For SABEK (Madrid, 1985) the black color goes beyond the tangible reality of physical nature. The absence of color that shapes the silhouette of their animals should be understood as emptiness and meditation.

His figures invite the viewer to free themselves from the reality that traps them, a reality that we impose on ourselves, and that takes us away from what we are. A false reality that we accept for the sole purpose of satisfying our human ego, or simply to deal with the boredom of our day to day.

In the exhibition “Origen II” he arrives at ADDA Gallery Ibiza after his visit to Barcelona. SABEK invites us to connect with our ancestral origin. The artist asks us to take the final and courageous step of entering his black silhouettes to get rid of what is not part of our essence.

The representations of SABEK animals on walls around the world show a series of spiritual entities that surprise in urban territory. They offer the viewer the nexus lost with our animal origin and at the same time a warning: if we do not reconnect with our origin, we will be endangering our own lives.

Exhibition from May 12 to June 16,  2018.

While Paris is recognized as the cradle of historical graffiti, in the early 1980s, Toulouse also fueled a particularly active scene.

Far from the American referents, the graffiti school of Toulouse quickly distinguished itself and installed its own writing style in a relevant and recurrent manner.

Still today, around its “Old School”  artists, Toulouse is an important scene of European graffiti, which continues with the younger generations offering innovative artistic and plastic fields.

ADDA&TAXIE brings together in Paris Old School and New School around this exhibition “Toulouse” that shows the plastic advances of contemporary graffiti and the influences in the current scenes.

Presentation of works, serigraphs, photographs.

« O » A collective exhibition on Eroticism

« O » A collective exhibition on Eroticism 

Apollonia Saintclair – Alphachanneling – Bom.K – Chamo San – Jesús Benítez
Diana Kunst – Enric Sant – Jessy Deshais – Juan Francisco Casas
Mr Djub – Madame – Mark Bodé – Miss Van – Scotie – Tito Merello

 

After the huge succes encountered during the first edition of « O » in Barcelona (presented at the Montana gallery), ADDA&TAXIE are renewing the experience and are presenting the exhibition in Paris, with a second enriched edition.

Fifteen artists from various countries and artistic horizons (illustration, urban art, photography, raw art and Pop Surrealism) are offering their visions on eroticism, one of the most recurrent theme within arts and life.

Sometimes rejected, relegated to the borders of respectable matters, eroticism never ceased to captivate and to appeal to artists.

Drawings, inks, prints, installations, collages … Brushes are giving a tribute to seduction, the body, carnal pleasure and senses. They alternately offer a realistic, romantic or sensual vision of the subject and sometimes even reaching a feverish or humorous one.

Each artist – whether male or female – delivers her/his own dimension, her/his own perception and is addressing to all those of us living between fantasy and a rawer reality.

Wizards, Lizards ’n’ Broads: 50 Years of Bode Art

Wizards, Lizards ’n’ Broads: 50 Years of Bode Art

Mark & Vaughn Bodé. Angouleme 2017.

Adda gallery & Taxie gallery are pleased to announce “Wizards, Lizards N’ Broads: 50 Years of Bode Art” by Mark Bodé and Vaughn Bodé for the 44th edition of Festival International de la Bande Dessinée d’Angoulême (France) 2017, widely recognised as the biggest european comic event.

Son of VAUGHN BODÉ – important author of Comics book underground American of the Seventies with Gilbert Shelton and Robert Crumb – MARK BODÉ takes advantage of his invitation to the 44th Comics Festival in Angoulême to pay a fervent homage to the work of his father.

In this capacity, like his father, he produced a Cartoon Concert, as Vaughn had presented it himself at the 2nd Festival of Angoulême where he had also been invited in 1975 – a few months before his death.
And while a few years before his premature death in 75, VAUGHN went to Paris and met Moebius, Tardi and Druillet it is also here for MARK, an opportunity to reconnect with part of its history.

On 30 or so original drawings and plates by MARK, but also original drawings by VAUGHN, sculptures and personal souvenirs  kept in secret, the exhibition focuses on the BODÉ style and the characters that made it famous .
Bubble Letters, Broad Bodé and Cheech Wizard, strongly inspired the emerging scene of New York Hip Hop and the precursors of graffiti. Dondi, Seen and Tracy 168 capture the style and make it one of the fundamental and emblematic elements of Spray Can Art.

When VAUGHN died, MARK faithfully resumed the paternal art and watched over his stylistic heritage.
Two limited and signed editions of MARK BODÉ will be produced for this exhibition.

Comics pour Graffiti

Première exposition parisienne de MARK BODÉ

Du 25 Octobre au 5 Novembre 2015

Fils de VAUGHN BODÉ – auteur important de Comics book underground américain des années 70 avec Gilbert Shelton et Robert Crumb – MARK BODÉ profite de son exposition parisienne pour rendre un fervent hommage à l’œuvre de son père. Et alors que quelques années avant sa mort prématurée en 75, VAUGHN se rend à Paris et y rencontre Moebius, Tardi et Druillet c’est aussi ici pour MARK, une occasion de renouer avec une partie de son histoire

Sur une trentaine de toiles de MARK, des plans de métro newyorkais peints inédits, mais aussi des dessins originaux de VAUGHN, des sculptures et des souvenirs personnels jusque là conservés au secret, l’exposition met l’accent sur le style BODÉ et les personnages qui ont fait sa renommé.
Bubble Letters, femmes Broad Bodé et Cheech Wizard, ont fortement inspiré la scène émergeante du Hip hop newyorkais et les artistes précurseurs du graffiti. Dondi, Seen ou encore Tracy 168 s’accaparent le style et en font un des éléments fondamental et emblématique du Spray Can Art.

A la mort de VAUGHN, MARK reprend fidèlement la plume paternelle et veille depuis sur son héritage stylistique.

Une édition limitée et signée de MARK BODÉ sera produite à l’occasion de cette exposition.
Et en avant première la présentation de son dernier livre « The Book of ME par Cheech Wizard”.

Exposition organisée en collaboration avec Taxie Gallery.
