For RERO’s first solo exhibition in the United States, the artist has created his signature interventions.
“I HTAE GARFITI” is located overlooking the 101 freeway at the Barham exit in the Hollywood Hills.
Opening Reception | Saturday, September 8th, 7-10pm
Special Preview | Thursday, September 6th, 7-9pm
September 8 – October 7, 2012
Fabien Castanier Gallery is proud to present IMAGE NOT AVAILABLE, the first solo exhibition in the USA by French conceptual artist Rero.
For the past 3 years, Rero has established his work through his innovative approach to street art. Though introduced to the street through graffiti, working for a time under the name Aurer, he eventually felt limited by a spray can. He then began exploring imagery through the use of typography, while retaining the same values of graffiti.
With his distinctive visual style, Rero often inhabits disused and dilapidated spaces to explore the concept of “negation of the image,” presenting minimalist statements that combat our modern overdose on images and messages. He achieves this through the use of words and phrases with a stark black line crossing them out. Rero’s site-specific works enter the gallery space as installations that maintain a sense of destruction. His works on canvas emulate the abandoned walls where he often intervenes.
Rero was born in 1983 and studed graphic design at the London College of Communication. He has shown his work in numerous exhibitions and art fairs across Europe. He lives and works in Paris.
From June 30 – September 2, Fabien Castanier Gallery presents FREESTYLE, a group exhibition featuring a diverse range of original works, as well as silkscreen prints and photography.
Visit the gallery to see some returning favorites from previous shows and some new additions to our collection. The show will feature works by various artists including:

Gajin Fujita

We’re excited to announce a new exhibition, URBAN EXPOSURE, that will show from April 7 – May 6. The exhibition will feature new work from emerging British artist Charlie Anderson and French-born, L.A. based artist, Guillaume Zuili. This will be the first show by Charlie Anderson in the United States. Urban Exposure presents raw interpretations of Los Angeles from the eyes of international artists.
Just announced, Fabian Castanier Gallery will feature the art of Rimi Yang from March 10 – April 1, 2012.
Rimi Yang is an ethnic Korean who was born and raised in Osaka, Japan. In 1986 she moved to Ohio where she studied at Bowling Green University and then in 1991 to Los Angeles where she studied at California State University and the Los Angeles Academy of Figurative Art, the Otis College of Art and Design and spent a summer in Florence, Italy, studying at the Florence Academy of Art. She has lived and worked near the ocean in Santa Monica since 1991.
Yang is known for her intense enthusiasm for vibrant color which is manifested in both her figurative and her abstract paintings. Celebrating the chaotic emotional duality that exists in life in her art, she revels in the confusion mankind creates in its attempt to order the un-orderable and to explain the unexplainable. Adhering to Joseph Campbell’s dictum that the best things in life are those you cannot explain her paintings are intuitive, instinctive, balancing acts of contrasts.
DRILL BABY DRILL, the new exhibition featuring Michael Kalish and Eric Liot, will begin soon. The Opening Reception will be held on Saturday, February 4th, 7-10pm with complimentary bar and valet. The show will run from Feb. 4 – March 4.
Inspired by the tool of choice for these artists, not by oil, DRILL BABY DRILL takes its name from the power drills that both men routinely employ to produce their artworks. Through the reworking and repurposing of materials, Kalish and Liot cut, rivet and screw together layers of found objects.
To RSVP to the Opening Reception, visit our Facebook events page.
Fabien Castanier Gallery will be at the 2012 LA Art Show, January 19-22. See art by Speedy Graphito, Gajin Fujita, Eric Liot, Shepard Fairey and Michael Kalish.
