I was stumbling blindly about the internet this afternoon when I happened upon
Erasoul.com: experimental abstract hip-hop, down-tempo, electronic, photography, art, and design. I have never heard of these guys before, but they've got some pretty nice stuff on their website. They are an online store and symposium for the exchange of music, photography, paintings, and design. They have everything from
new music reviews and links to music on
last.fm to
Mr. T t-shirts for sale. They also have
prints of photographs taken by
Erik Nasinnyk, one of Erasoul's artists. But even better than his photographs are
Erik's paintings and
drawings, which can also be purchased from the Erasoul website. I really appreciate his abstract, graffiti-inspired style, like in the painting
Mindset II. My favorite work of his is a new commisioned piece,
Propagation, that he is featuring on
deviantART.com [pictured above]. His work has been featured this year at the
L'Autre Galerie in Montreal, the
3 Feet High exhibit at Maxwell's in Hoboken, New Jersey and at the
2nd Annual Skateboard Show at
The Unknown Gallery in Salt Lake City, Utah. Like the photographs of
André Adamsbaum that I featured in my last post, Nasinnyk's dark yet whimsical work is comparable to that of
Robert Rauschenberg and the early paintings of
Willem de Kooning.
