- Bio
What sets you Apart from the Average Joe?
"Simply put I was the first person to document all 5 elements of Hip Hop for over 3 decades. And during that time I became one of the elite members of the 5th Element and won the Tribeca Film Festival for a documentary on my work where Afrika Bambaataa called me the 6th Element of Hip Hop ("The Other Side of Hip Hop" available at www.ourgang62.com.
Author of Who Shot Ya? - Three Decades of Hip Hop Photography (Harper Collins 2002 - ISBN 0-06-621168-9). Regarded by most to be the premier 'Hip-Hop photographer in America', Paniccioli first made his foray into the culture in 1973 when he began capturing the ever-present graffiti art dominating New York City. Armed with a 35-millimeter camera, Paniccioli has recorded the entire evolution of Hip Hop. Much in the same way Gordon Parks recorded the Civil Rights Movement, or akin to the manner in which James Van Der Zee, the documentary photographer of Harlem in the 1920s, met the energy and spirit of the times head-on with his picture-making. And like Edward S. Curtis’ monumental prints of the Native peoples of North America, himself a Native American, has found a beauty and resiliency in a community often ignored by mainstream society
From Grandmaster Flash at the Roxy (a popular Manhattan nightclub of the late 70’s and early 1980s), to the athletic moves of the legendary Rock Steady Crew, to the fresh faces of Queen Latifah, Tupac Shakur, The Notorious B.I.G., Eminem, and Lauren Hill. Paniccioli has been in the forefront documenting the greatest cultural movement since Rock and Roll in the 1950s. A true renaissance man, Paniccioli is also a painter, public speaker, and historian. He has also photographed a number of popular figures beyond Hip Hop, such as Frank Sinatra, Liza Minelli, and John F. Kennedy, Jr.; Britney Spears; and Ricky Martin, to name a few.

:: DISOBEY ::
OBEY founder Shepard Fairey was the victim of a physical assault on his recent trip to Copenhagen after his own gallery show. When asked about the circumstances of the incident, the artist said, “I have a black eye and a bruised rib.” He did not report the incident to authorities, claiming, “I did not know any of the people or get a great look at them, so it seemed pointless…I’m not a huge fan of the cops anyway. The only thing I could see coming out of it was further media commentary like ‘street artist whiner Shepard Fairey can’t hold it down in a fight so he snitches to the cops’.” Both Fairey and a colleague received a beating from two males allegedly, while being called “Obama Illuminati,” and being ordered to “Go back to America.”
This wasn’t the only negative reaction to his presence in the city, however; the mural he created in Copenhagen was vandalised by local residents the night after it was finished. Accused by protesters of promoting government propaganda, the words “no peace,” and “go home Yankee hipster,” were spray painted on the face of the mural. The artist states that the mural was to commemorate the destruction of a youth house in the neighborhood it was created in; regardless of his intentions, Fairey may be taking a more cautious and culturally sensitive approach to the content of his works in the future.

" I only did this for you! It's been over 20+ years since I've painted a wall in NYC," says Eric.And what a day he picks! Over 90 degrees In July. As the minutes rushed on by Eric seemed very comfortable on that wall, with no signs of rust at all. I had a ball watching him paint his sweat off.

We will be exhibiting two different artists from the New Contemporary genre.
ERIC EYEBALL RICHARDSON "THE MINDS EYE"
Eric Richardson was born in a small town in Northwest Indiana. As a young man, while out watching the corn grow, his imagination overtook the scenery and his pens and paint brushes overtook his notebooks. With prompting, he studied illustration at the American Academy of Art (1996) and then fully re-located to Chicago. Over the next decade, in addition to becoming accomplished in oversized set-design, Richardson exhibited public and commercial murals and sculptures both regionally and nationally. Combining these skills, a hell of a lot of leftover childhood imaginings, and inspiration from the (ever popular) low brow art movement, he created what you see here; his canvas.
As an artist, “Eyeball” Richardson wants to encourage the viewer to follow the movement of paint and feel the radiating power that lies underneath vibrant color. A can of spilled paint and globs of erratic color at a prop studio can inspire a new painting. Staring at the splattered floor becomes a theme, and then an image. He wants us to follow the journey through his eyeballs and see the humor that is anywhere you choose to look.
Eric Richardson currently paints from his new studio in Sunnyside, Queens NY.
SIEN is a multilayered Artquarian who celebrates his birth date with Charles Darwin’s and Abraham Lincoln’s birthdays on February 12, 197Sumthing. Born in the city of New York.
Documenting the streets of New York from an early age, SIEN’s life and art has been influenced by the graffiti, poverty, and the tuff love New York is known for. SIEN records his daily missions of life through a combination of mediums including illustration, graffiti, and, a wide-range of multi-media. SIEN is an Illustrator and a Professor currently teaching digital media arts at TCI College in New York City. In his spare time he curates shows in New York City, exhibiting graffiti and photography sometimes merging the two mediums to create a dynamic fusion of artists.
A re-instated writer since 2008, SIEN’s work has graced the rural walls of the Bronx painting masterfully illustrated murals, in the neighborhood where he spent most of his childhood years. With over a dozen public murals scattered within the five boroughs of NYC, SIEN’s work remains in the public eye engaging a younger generation of street art enthusiasts with abstract compositions and mood altering color. For an in-depth look at SIEN’s work and upcoming shows log onto: http://airfficial.blogspot.com/
SIENIDE "DALICASSO"
The DALICASSO series is a series of iconic figures transformed into Salvador Dali esque images. The series was inspired by Sienide's artquarian brother / painter Jason Cosme who is in rehabilitation as a result of a head injury. The paintings in this series are dedicated to Jason Cosme and his family.

I'd rather be called a SLAVE than a Nigger.
"The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" angered respectable people when it came out and still stirs a fuss 126 years later. Twain's most famous novel has been paired with "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" in a volume to be published next month by New South Books that replaces the "N-word" — an offensive but often-used expression in the 1880s — with "slave."
