. . Evolution of a species. Evolution of an artist... who people have naturally referred to as Skullphone for his anonymous placement, since 1999, of this image in the streets of LA, NYC, San Francisco, London, France, and Italy to name a few. . . . Not limited to his iconic skull on cellphone image alone, he's often placed a reinterpretation of the Mobile Oil pegasus logo on the walls of vacated gas stations.

. . SKULLPHONE at Subliminal Projects Gallery Show Opening Reception Saturday, June 5 / 8-11pm Los Angeles, CA . exhibition dates june 5 - july 2, 2010 . . Digital Media, the new solo exhibition by Skullphone, brings the playfulness, obsession, irony and anxiety of the Los Angeles-based artist's renowned street installations into the Subliminal Projects gallery space. . Although of the same spirit as his past work, Digital Media marks a distinct visual departure for the artist. His use of mirror-polished, black-painted aluminum panels is a cold and slick leap from past works on found wood, weathered metal, and wheat-pasted paper. Skullphone's painting technique employs a deliberate dot grid system, and his painted color is expanded to a limited palette of red, green and blue. This shift corresponds to the artist's recent inspirations and exploits with outdoor digital media. Through painted pointillism, the imagery dislocates as the artwork is approached. .
