Imminent Disaster

Imminent Disaster is a Brooklyn street artist that has shown this year at Ad Hoc Art in New York and Thinkspace in LA. She has a formal education in printmaking, and she uses these skills to great effect. I especially love her wheatpasted screenprints and paper cutouts.

In her gallery pieces, she’s combined these methods with block printing, stencils and hand painting to create huge works of art. This piece, The Organist, is 8′ x 8′ and inspired by a historical account of New York’s Great Fire of 1835, in which someone heard organ music playing from a warehouse until it collapsed.

There’s a lot more to see on Imminent Disaster’s Flickr. For something to look forward to, she has an upcoming show with Armsrock at Thinkspace next year.
