Martina Secondo Russo (Italy/U.S.A.) was born in Genoa, Italy but has lived in New York City for most of her life. She paints both on canvas, and on plywood cut into the shapes of limbs and full human bodies. Her work is inspired by: horror, tattoos, toys, renaissance art, pin-up art, and the juxtaposition of beauty with the grotesque.



For this show, she will be presenting two life sized “pin-ups”, covered in tattoos depicting everything from Halloween decorations, classic Tattoo Flash, Skulls and many other images. Alongside the full figures, she will be showing a dozen or so “Tattooed Limbs”… Hands, feet and arms with bloody stumps, which appear to have been freshly ripped off a tattooed victim.



Frank Russo (U.S.A.) is a Brooklyn Artist who has been drawing comic books since the age of nine. His art fuses a life-long love for trash culture and fast music with a wide variety of styles and media such as comics, paintings, toys, props and costumes.



His infamous “Monsterfaces” were featured on a series of Collectable Art Trading Cards (of the same name) released in 2007 by Monsterwax Inc. Aliens, Monsters, Robots, Skeletons, Hideous Beasts, Witches and Grizzly Ghouls are all part of this collection of monster head wooden cutouts, painted with acrylic in bright psychedelic colors.

In addition to his “Monsterfaces”, Frank will also be showing an assortment of other paintings, drawings and comic strips will be sure to inspire many a tattoo design.

Since 2003, these two artists have been showing the best in Horror Pop Underground Art at their NYC art space, MF Gallery. In 2009, they opened a second gallery in Genoa, Italy where they continue to show artists from around the world.

Now, Martina and Frank are bringing a selection of their best “Heads & Limbs” to 516 Gallery at Art N Souls Studios. The Gallery, located at 516 W. Hamilton Street in Allentown, PA, will be serving food, as well as drinks courtesy of Dulce Vida Tequila for the Opening Party on Saturday, April 30th from 7 to 10pm. Admission is free and open to all ages.

GRAFFITI LEGENDS ON A COLD DAY

When I called Sienide(Artist/Graffiti Artist)to speak about an upcoming show,he tells me to come uptown to Tuff City Tattoos in the Bronx. The first thing I thought about was my mission from Brooklyn to Bronx on the D train. He tells me he'll be spraying with graffiti legends. I did not think twice. I jumped in the shower got dressed and hopped on the train. When I arrived I was introduced to Kit,Boots119,Peso131 who is also a member of the oldschool Fearless 4 rap crew, and Slave who I had the honor to show in my GRAFFOLUTION group show last summer. It was awesome listening to their stories of the early days of graffiti. Did I tell you my feet froze? At the end it was all worth it. Here are some pics of what took place. The rest of the pics will be on an album on my Facebook page. Thanks Sienide!
