SEVER STREET APARTMENTS

by Caratoes

"The best part of painting murals is feeling a real appreciation from the neighborhood."  —Caratoes

Born in a tiny village in Belgium to parents from Hong Kong, Cara To, aka Caratoes, moved to the Netherlands after studying game design. She started painting on the streets of Amsterdam in 2011, but then moved to Hong Kong, looking to discover her roots but also developing her unique artistic voice filled with expressions of movement and shadow and bold lines. In 2017 Caratoes was in Worcester, MA, for @PowWowWorcester and says when she arrived at the Sever Square Apartments location for her work and saw all the kids playing together she immediately knew she needed to abandon her initial sketch and incorporate those kids. "I wanted them to be proud of who they are and where they're from." Caratoes says they loved seeing themselves in the work.  @caratoes/

New work by Caratoes for Pow Wow! Long Beach.

Booooooom and Thinkspace present 'Seeing Red’, a group art 12" x 12" invitational exhibition curated by Boooooom founder and Vancouver-based artist Jeff Hamada, featuring all new works from a wide array of artists who’ve been featured on Booooooom over the past ten years, with legendary names and relatively unknown ones showing alongside each other.

Each participating artist was asked to produce an original piece and given only two limiting criteria: that it be a 12" x 12" work, and that they incorporate the colour red. The straightforward theme for the exhibition is intended to provide a simple but striking visual thread linking the many artists in the show in spite of their apparent diversity, and providing the viewer with an accessible way to navigate and engage with that range.

Opening reception is Saturday March 30 from 6-9 pm at ThinkSpace Gallery, 6009 Washington Blvd, Culver City, CA 90232 and will be on view until April 20 2019
