Exhibit Recap: Jurne “Keys To The City” up through Dec. 1, 2012 at Klughaus Gallery

Posted on by

We had the pleasure of working with Jurne on his solo show debut, “Keys To The City” at Klughaus Gallery on Saturday. After watching him spend multiple days and nights (literally sleeping in the gallery) preparing for the show, we could tell that he was very dedicated and serious about his work. Jurne even ended up cutting all the mats to his pieces by himself! In the end, all his hard work and attention to detail paid off! It was one of the most packed openings we’ve had. Most importantly, there were no shortage of red dots popping up through the night!

Thank you to everyone who came out and supported! Special thanks to Ironlak and Beer Right Now for making this a successful show!

Jurne “Keys To The City” will be up through Dec. 1, 2012

Check out some photos from the opening below…

The map pieces below are one of a kind.  Jurne found vellum maps of Parisian neighborhoods while exploring an abandoned electrical facility in Paris.  He found patterns on the maps and then painted them on the backsides.  He then layered colored paper to create more pattern and finally  detailed the work w/ his signature typography.  Believe me, you need to see these pieces in person because the photos don’t do them justice!

While most people design screen prints on the computer these days, Jurne exposes the screens for his prints using paper cut outs.  The print “Mars” below was specifically made for the show.  They are also hand embellished in an edition of 7.  An original paper cut was also on display in the photo below the print.

There was a series of layered decollage pieces.  These were all hand cut with precision and layered on top of a painting underneath.  It is very hard to appreciate the detail of these pieces unless you see them in person!

Show Information: http://./jurne

“Keys To The City” will showcase the acclaimed graffiti writer Jurne’s transition from large-scale exterior work to fine art. “Keys To The City” exhibits a combination of text-based décollage paintings as well as abstract geometric calligraphy compositions on found vellum Parisian maps from a 2010 trip abroad. This exhibition provides a narrative for Jurne’s approach to his work through a short film, also titled “Keys to the City.” The film is a collaborative work between Jurne and Lea Bruno, an accomplished Bay Area videographer who has worked alongside Jurne for the past few years, and created films featuring some of the world’s premier graffiti artists. This film is an exploration of the “Keys To The City” body of work, as well as a look inside Jurne’s creative approach and unique lifestyle.

Below are some exclusive previews of pieces in the show:

The exhibit will be on display through December 1, 2012
