Plastic Jesus (British)

Plastic Jesus is a Los Angeles based street artist that specialises in bold  stencil and installation work, inspired by world news events, society, the urban environment, culture and politics.

His critically acclaimed work combines humor, irony, criticism  and unique opinion to create art that engages on many levels.

Often questioning the norms in society, the street artist confronts our compliance of culture and current affairs. The artist uses scale and contradiction as a means to highlight issues and opinions that often go unquestioned.

The aesthetic appeal of his work combined with the engagement produces an addictive mix that challenges our acceptance.

Plastic Jesus is not about revolution, he is not a anarchist but would like to see some changes around the place. His work is more about shining a small light into some of those dark corners of society.

His work has been featured by The BBC, CNN, abc News, Huffington Post, Gizmodo, Buzzfeed, The Sun, The Daily Mirror, LA Times, LA Weekly, The Daily Mail, MSNBC, The Daily Telegraph, Complex art and Design, Time, Us Weekly, USA Today and many more.
The Smithsonian Institute also features art by Plastic Jesus.

Prior to his commitment to produce provocative street art Plastic Jesus has worked for over two decades as a photographer.

Life Is Art Gallery & Kalkman Gallery: 30×40 Group Show

Alec Nierinck ( Life Is Art Gallery Antwerp ) & Hubert Kalkman ( Kalkman Gallery) started brainstorming about a collaboration end of 2023. They both wanted a basis for a group show. To keep it simple and also keep the creative process autonomous for their artists, the only thing connecting the work to the show was a wooden panel-box of 30x40x6 cm. All artists wanting to participate got one and they had full freedom. The result is a group show with a broad spectrum of artistic bursts.
Life Is Art Gallery & Kalkman Gallery differ very much in choice of artists, but they have the same sense of responsibility towards their collaborating artists. Alec & Hubert are looking to accomplish visibility for all artists participating in this show. The strong contrast between the artworks will hopefully make them jump out at the viewer. And whether you like the work or not, each individual work will act as a portal to the rest of the artist’s work. Alec & Hubert will gladly show the visitor more of an artist by guiding them to the right website or catalogue. 30×40 opens with a festive preview on Oct 24th, from 7-9PM – Sint-Jorispoort 23, 2000 Antwerp, Belgium
