Lamarche and Marshall's urban dynamism

Still got that NYC fever in me ...

I visited Toronto's Show & Tell Gallery today and found myself impressed by New York artist Greg Lamarche's hand-cut paper collages.  Inspired by the dynamism of his native NYC, Lamarche's works show clear traits of graffiti art while playing with font styles and rhythmic repetition.




Also at the show was another American artist James Marshall (aka Dalek).  The vibrant colours of Marshall's paintings resonated perfectly with Lamarche's urban scribbles.
