BLVD Gallery is proud to present “ The Unraveling”, a show of new
works by internationally acclaimed stencil artist Logan Hicks. Known
for his hyper-detailed, meticulously hand cut stencils, Logan has
rocketed to the top ranks of his field with his borderline obsessive
approach to creating stencils. This labor intensive medium involves
cutting a separate stencil for each color, then layering each color
upon the next until the piece emerge. This technique can take hundreds
of hous to complete one piece. There is a consistent feel that
underlies Logans work. Each piece is an exercise in finding order in
chaos, and seeing beauty in the otherwise mundane. Logan’s
monochromatic work seems to slice time itself and freeze it on the
canvas. Art critic Felicia Fester observed “ Forget traditional
landscapes. Hick’s haunting black and silver images wrest noir beauty
from unexpected inner city locales”. Logan’s work has been featured in
the Urban art documentary “The Run Up” as well as used by corporations
such as K-Swiss, Disney, Red Bull, and others to give their advertising
an urban feel.
