  • Exit Through the Gift Shop
    Exit Through the Gift Shop
    When British stencil artist Banksy traveled to Los Angeles to work, he came across obscure French filmmaker Thierry Guetta and his badly organized collection of videotapes involving the activities of graffiti artists. Inspired, Banksy assembled them with new footage to create this talked-about documentary, and the result is a mind-boggling and odd film (so strange as to be thought a hoax by some) about outsider artists and the definition of art itself.

Featured Artist Friday: Martha Campos

“I have loved painting for as long as I can remember. I have a very vivid memory of myself painting when I was a child. Like many other children, I used to have an almost never-ending amount of energy for filling blank pages with colors and shapes, making great efforts to gain my parents’ approval. I felt that my drawings were a clear image of what I saw, dreamt or wanted. Now, I am aware that this was not such a unique pursuit for a child. It is when childhood is over, and the “itch” to paint remains, and even grows day by day, that the love of doing art becomes a distinction. This has been true in my case.”
