Lee Trice’s work is reminiscent of first wave Walt Disney characters, after they’ve spent sixty years on the wrong side of the tracks; forgotten, angry, drunk, and bitter. Permanently stuck with the not-a-care-in-the-world grin, they were originally animated with. Grimm. Trice is an extremely active artist. In the past few years, Trice has brought his talent to KDU, which does work for Hypebeast, Adidas, Converse etc. as well as music videos for artists like Pharrell, Uffie, Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Steve Aoki. In addition to the Global Creative Collective, Trice has done commercial work for clients such as Vice, Mishka, aNYthing, Complex Magazine, Robertas, Silkys, NBKC, King Stampede, Bacardi and Redbull. He produced a T-Shirt for Adidas, an artist series can for Budlight and painted live at the Heineken Pyramid in August 2015. Trice can also be found painting at your neighborhood Mad Decent Block Party. Notwithstanding his industry success, you will still see Trice putting work up on the street, chain smoking in Brooklyn parties, and telling you the story of how he may or may not have been raised by dolphins.

SUPERCHIEF GALLERY NYC PRESENTS:
Vixens Valley: Reginald Pean Solo Exhibition October 2nd-8th 2015 @frenchinald
“A born and bred New York native, Reginald Pean is a staple of the underground NYC art community. Pean’s pieces are spooky, intimate, and otherworldly- a tarot deck for adults found within a unopened pack of Marvel cards. While Pean’s topics and themes have evolved over the years, his style is unmistakably his own. His images are sharp, yet wavy- as if seen through the heat cooked air of a desert, even hooded death himself looks like a beautiful mirage.
Pean has exhibited his work in galleries throughout America such as Mighty Tanaka, Treehouse Gallery and Superchief Gallery NYC and LA, most recently for the bi-coastal Booty Worship Show and for BeStreat’s Bootleg Bart Art Show. His artistic endeavors have been covered by the Village Voice, Paper Magazine, New York Observer, The Hundreds, Hyperallergic, Juxtapoz Magazine, and Complex Magazine, to name a few.”

SHERYO & THE YOK
Sheryo & The Yok hail from Singapore & Australia respectively and the two have collaborated extensively since 2012, producing epic, fantastical murals of their original characters all over the world. Their work can be seen in Mexico, New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Miami, Africa, Belgium, London, Seoul, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Australia, Cambodia, the list goes on.
Sheryo and The Yok’s personal interests of urban and island exploration, street food such as pizza/tacos/hotdogs, weed as a lifestyle/wavelength and skateboarding as a preferred form of travel, intermix nicely in their friendly monsters. The characters they paint are weird and alive- Sheryo paints pizza slices that look like friendly teenage ratfink scumbags happily skipping school with heavy-lidded stoner eyes, with legs like a california raisin and hightop sneakers. The Yok paints wise-faced weed puffing deities, long winding DragonballZ sized chillers that exist Where the Wild Things Are meet the Neverending Story Jim Henson imagination machine.
In the past year alone, Sheryo exhibited in Jeffrey Deitch x Meghan Coleman’s “Women on the Walls” at Miami Art Basel, the duo headlined Pow Wow Taiwan, completing a mural at the Taipei Zoo, they had a two person show in NYC’s Lower East Side as well as being prominently displayed in New York City’s most visited public space, Times Square, where they did live painting from a scissor lift across massive hundred foot billboards for Ink Master Rivals on Spike TV.
This past year Sheryo has been listed as one of the “15 street artists to watch in 2014” by Complex Magazine as well as one of “6 woman street artists you should know” by CBS New York. In 2013 Complex Magazine named Sheryo & The Yok one of “10 street artists to watch in 2013.” In their first year of collaborating Juxtapoz Magazine featured them online and BrooklynStreetArt.com featured the duo in their “Best Images of the Year 2012.”
LIL KOOL’s doodles, eye-candy color trips through a parallel cartoon universe, fill volumes, walls, canvases and even come to life as fashion lines, pop-up-shops and installations, both in New York and Hong Kong. His post-Pop cartoons are made up of a cast of questionable characters in a colorful range of sub/urban landscapes.

Superchief Gallery is producing a full exhibition and book signing reception of Ash Thayer’s KILL CITY: Lower East Side Squatters 1992-2000. There will be a slideshow presentation by Ash, as well as a discussion with contemporary squatter and legal advocate Steve DeCaprio.
“Anyone wondering about the end of bohemia can consult this book, which documents its last incarnation, at least in New York City. Few bohemians can ever have worked as hard as the squatters, who earned their homes and their lives; they were rewarded with forcible and violent eviction. Ash Thayer’s remarkable pictures chronicle a time, only two decades ago, that seems impossibly distant now.” -Luc Sante
Kill City is a true untold story of New York’s legendary LES squatters by insider Ash Thayer. After being kicked out of an apartment and with no other housing options, Ash was first welcomed as a guest at See Skwat and went on to live in several different squatter buildings throughout the ‘90s.
New York City in the ‘90s saw the streets of the Lower East Side overun with derelict buildings, junkies huddled in dark corners, and dealers packing guns. People in desperate need of housing, worn down from waiting for years in line on the low-income housing lists, had been moving in and fixing up city-abandoned buildings since the mid-80s in the LES. Squatters took over entire buildings, but these structures were barely habitable. They were overrun with vermin, lacking plumbing, electricity, and even walls, floors, and a roof. Punks and outcasts joined the squatter movement and tackled an epic rebuilding project to create homes for themselves.
The squatters were forced to be secretive and exclusive as a result of their poor legal standing in the buildings. Few outsiders were welcome and fewer photographers or journalists. Thayer’s camera accompanied her everywhere as she lived at the squats and worked alongside other residents. Ash observed them training each other in these necessary crafts and finding much of their materials in the overflowing bounty that is New York City’s refuse and trash. The trust earned from her subjects was unique and her access intimate.
