Head Space: Labrona Show

HEAD SPACE
a solo exhibition of paintings by Labrona

Canadian artist Labrona is best known for his extraordinary paintings on freight trains that roll all over the US and Canada. “I’m just a guy that paints trains, does art, doesn’t want a regular nine to five. I use my art as my voice,” he says. “I send my thoughts and emotions on to the railways for people to see…A train yard is like a forever-changing outdoor art gallery.”

Sao Paulo Press

Posted on 26/10/2007 by admin

Check out this press, by Adriana Küchler, which appeared in the October 21, 2007 edition of the Sunday magazine of “Folha de S.Paulo“, a newspaper with the largest circulation in Latin America. It came out right before our screenings at the São Paulo International Film Festival. It’s like Brazil’s New York Times, so we were pretty excited about it. It covered Bomb It as well as our friends, A1one in Tehran, the ACC Crew and GRL in NYC.
