White walls is pleased to present a Pop Up show in NYC featuring the one and only HUSH.  We love HUSH in SF, London town, NYC, no matter where you put him, he’s incredible.

The show, “Found”, will be held in the beautiful Angel Orensanz Foundation, For Contemporary Art on Friday, November 19th, 2025 from 7-10PM located on 172 Norfolk Street in the one and only New York City. The show will continue on November 20th and 21st from 12-5PM.

The artist continues his examination of the vitality and transient nature of mark making, tagging and graffiti.  Transitioning these street art practices to the studio setting, the artist creates a body of work that brings to light the essence of “action painting” and “pure expressionism”.  The new collection of work is comprised of 25 mixed-media works ranging from small to large sized pieces and installation, and a limited edition hand embellished print (50).
“Found”, marks Hush’s New York debut exhibition that deepens his exploration of the resulting emergences brought about by the evanescent quality of street art.  Appreciating and identifying the remains of past tags as points of expression, the artist transitions this influence to his work that he refers to as “action painting” or “pure expressionism”.  In his new collection, Hush remains influenced by the escape from the constraints of traditions, the contrasts between old and new, the past meeting the future and the fusion of Eastern and Western culture. Found follows the success of Passing Through, Hush’s 2025 sold-out solo show with The Shooting Gallery (White Wall’s sister gallery) in San Francisco. Read more »

941Geary is pleased to present “Fuck You All”, the international traveling collection of photographs that span the prolific and influential career of artist, Glen E. Friedman. Now in its 13th year, this exhibition makes its way to San Francisco for the first time, bringing with it the work that presented some of the world’s most significant photographic contributions to the punk and hip hop subcultures and not only documented the genesis of skate culture, but helped shape it for generations to come. Friedman’s 941Geary exhibition of Fuck You All will feature several never before seen collaborations with Shepard Fairey, which will be displayed along with the original photographs for the first time. These works are true artistic collaborations, executed symbiotically and inspired from a history of mutual respect between Friedman and Fairey. The opening reception for Fuck You All will be held on Saturday, November 6, 2025 from 6-9pm and will be on display through December 31, 2025.

For this San Francisco presentation of Fuck You All, Friedman will show 35-40 photographs from the body of work that comprises the traveling exhibition. The Shepard Fairey collaborations will incorporate the artist’s take on approximately five of Friedman’s iconic photographs including Jim Muir, Tony Alva, Public Enemy, Cornel West and Bad Brains. In addition, there will be 3-4 Northern California-oriented pieces on display that will be specific to the 941Geary show.

Based on the books Fuck You Heroes and Fuck You Too, Friedman’s touring exhibition, Fuck You All, first premiered in 1997 at the Institute of Contemporary Art in London, England. Since then it has been exhibited overseas in Sydney, Australia, Harajuku and Shibuya, in Tokyo Japan, Florence, Milan, Sicily, and Rome in Italy, Berlin, Germany, Stockholm, Sweden, Antwerp, Belgium, Poland, and most recently, Ireland. Stateside, shows have been in Chicago, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, and Los Angeles. For more information, visit the artist’s official website at www.burningflags.com
Glen E. Friedman is the most significant photographer of his generation. His images of the early Dogtown skateboarders in the late 1970s along with the burgeoning hip-hop and punk rock scenes of the 80s and 90s have made him one of the most important photographers today. With the uncanny ability to capture images of people whose subculture was about to change the world, his subjects range from Jay Adams and Tony Alva to Run DMC, Public Enemy and the Beastie Boys to Minor Threat and Black Flag, among many others. Over the years, Friedman has been able to define the moments of the movements that defined an era. This has cemented his place in history as an uncompromising, extremely gifted artist.

Shaun Roberts took some awesome photos of C3 installing his new body of work “In Search of New Land”. Check these out and come see the show in person! It is open from October 9th- November 6th. Opening reception tonight, October 9th, from 7-11PM. See ya all there!

We had the opportunity to sit down and have a conversation with C3 about his work and his intriguing inspirations. Each person works in mysterious ways, and C3 is definitely an artist who thrives off the unknown, the peculiar, and the weird. He listens to combat folk music, has a cat named Death, and enjoys confined spaces. After getting to know C3 a little better, his work, style, and over all demeanor made a lot more sense.

Read the interview to get to know this interesting and innovative artist.

What is the inspiration behind “In Search of New Land”, your new work showing at the Shooting Gallery from October 9^th – November 6^th?

I watch a lot of Clint Eastwood and John Wayne movies. I use movies that I am inspired by as a stepping-stone, almost like an equation or formula to build around. I’m inspired a lot by wizard of oz. The idea of a girl and three weird guys, helping this girl on their way to accomplish their own goals.

When was the first time you watched Wizard of Oz?

Six or seven. I was living on a farm in Oklahoma with my parents, and they were still married. We had a cow farm. My dad owned property, and then my grandparents lived right next to us and they owned property. If you went all the way down the street my uncle lived there and he owned property. So everyone had a farm and a lot of land, but it was all on one road. It was like Curtis road because everyone who lived on the road was a Curtis.

Even when I was younger I had a lot of imagination I wanted to see more so I was kind of stuck in this. I was an only child living on a farm so I would always be talking to animals and hanging out with animals, not other people, or other kids. Unless I was at school, but then I’d come home and I’d hang out with older people; I would never talk to them as much. Seeing wizard of oz was like the same thing, her wanting to leave this farm and go somewhere else.

What other movies influence you? Your work has a horror, gruesome tone to it.

I try to stay away from the gruesome. It’s starting to slip in without me being conscience of it. I have a piece where I’m missing a part of my face, and that’s from seeing face transplant photos, and because it was real was why I decided to use it. The mask I used I got at a Halloween store and then I decided to start using it based on The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the whole leather face. The thing that was always brilliant about leather face, he wasn’t looking for people to kill. People were coming on to his property and messing with him, and he was like I’m going to fuck you up. Then you would see him freaking out in the window, and that was even scarier because he was afraid. He didn’t want people coming in there. That’s more unnerving to me. The whole idea of someone wearing a mask; you never know what’s going on behind it.

Does this have anything to do with how you view people? Do you ever feel people are coming after you? Does that tap into any personal conflicts?

Definitely, I’m very introverted. I enjoy talking to friends and meeting people, but there are a lot of times in my life when I just want to be left alone. So the whole idea of wearing a mask is that people can’t see you.  It’s a weird kind of power thing. You can just ignore people, and they don’t know who you are because you’re wearing this mask. People do it all the time.  When people beg you for money, or someone tries to talk to you, people ignore them and act oblivious with their headphones on and they don’t have to talk to anyone.

How was it growing up in Oklahoma? Being with all animals, only child, open lands…

What’s funny now is that I realize how everything has come full circle. I enjoyed it when I was young, but then there was a period of my life when my parents got divorced, my mom moved to Tulsa, which for me then was a big city for me. Time went on and I hated it, and plus I never fit in at school, stuff like that. Now I look back, and I do miss the farm idea. I would like to move back and live on a farm or ranch when I get older. I’d want to be on the desert more. Its weird, its stuff I kind of rebelled against and now I want to go back to. I think I kind of do that in my art as well. Read more »
