Art in the Dancehall – the exhibition curated by Al Fingers and Suze Webb celebrating illustration and design in Jamaican music, from 1979 to the present day – recently hit Subliminal Projects in Los Angeles.
That meant that also some work from SEEN’s GABE was displayed at Shepard Fairey’s gallery and it means that if you are interested in in buying some of his prints or work from other Art in the Dancehall artists like Daniel David Freeman, Denzil “Sassafras” Naar, Ellen G., Jamaal Pete, Peter Edward, Robin Clare, Tony McDermott or Wilfred Limonious, you should head over to the Subliminal Projects online store.

Art in the Dancehall – the exhibition featuring Dancehall-related work from legendary artists like Limonious, Jamaal Pete, and Tony McDermott as well as SEEN’s art director GABE amongst other contemporary designers – set up shop in London.
From 27 July to 12 August, the show curated by Shimmy Shimmy und Al Fingers (large up again!) stops by the PUMA Yard to celebrate dancehall illustration and design from 1980 to the present day.
On Monday, GABE will be heading to London to be at the vernissage.
Before leaving, he got one of his artworks at display at the event – a black and white relick of his WORDS, POWER & SOUND design – printed on a super-limited run of 25 tanktops.
There are a couple of Mediums left. If you want one, head over to GABE’s Facebook page. Fast!
