g.gallery is proud to present a solo exhibition by L.A based artists, Shelby and Sandy from June 7th to July 20th. These two brothers paint images of nostalgic childhood cartoon characters, sports team and athletes with vivid color. Their talents have become widely known through collaborations and commission works with art collectors, luxury fashion brands and corporations.

Their bright and lively artworks resemble the atmosphere of Los Angeles. After lining black outlines using acrylic paints with the most subtlety, they cover the top with varnish which sprung digital print-like sensation. The collectors themselves participate in the art which goes far beyond a means for just collecting an art.

Sharing much of each other’s aesthetic sense from younger age the brothers visited numerous galleries and museums together. The past is not merely an experience. It is an essential factor that inspires and stimulates their work.

Shelby and Sandy’s work is defined as pop art amongst contemporary art trends. Shelby and Sandy’s contemporary artwork expresses much of their passion for their childhood and Halloween which is expressed in some of their work. They study all figures and objects that are drawn on canvas from trivial objects, cartoon characters, movie characters, to athletes. The artists make meticulous efforts to match the overall tone and figure with symbols and metaphors until everything is perfectly illustrated. They also love creating large paintings that are easy to understand.

Shelby and Sandy pioneer their own new style of art, “nice”. It uses analog tools with their custom made paints to complete a digital print like artworks. They put emphasis on their originality by not referring to classical art works.

Shelby and Sandy have done commission works for celebrities like Zac Efron, Drake, Bradley Copper, and Kylie & Kendall Jenner. Their works are requested by a wide variety of art collectors all around the world from Paris to Dubai, along with atheletes, Nike, Warner Brothers, and Louis Vuittons. -g.gallery-
