Stolen Land: New Works by Other

Spray paint and linocuts may make strange bedfellows, but Canadian-born artist Troy Lovegates, who works under the name Other, has redefined the concept of graffiti. He famously paints the yards of North America's rail system but has also left his mark in places as diverse as Berlin, Lima, and numerous spots elsewhere. Whatever the canvas, Other's work is breathtakingly detailed and hauntingly sorrowful: oversized heads are executed in complex black and white, while color splashes across in spindly, fantastic forms that capture fettered movement. Other has an admitted distaste for the inaccessibility of galleries, and Stolen Land, set in the cozy environs of Needles and Pens, presents an extremely rare opportunity to view his work.
