Totally dissident, FA-Q said, “We were against commercial art, and against capitalism, championing art for people.”

Rooted in the Dada art movement, LADADA has blossomed on the LES at the Van Der Plas Gallery. LADADA, is a group show featuring Shalom Neuman, Kevin Wendall and Konstantin Bokov.

In & Out brings together the work of visionary and outsider artists. Art created intuitively with unstoppable passion. Kevin Wendall, the artist known as FA-Q, releases through his process of expressing. Addiction and inner demons narrate his art’s rough expression of emotion.

Paper was originally developed by the Egyptians over 5000 years ago from a marsh grass called Cyperous Papyrus, which was cut in to strips and softened with the muddy waters of the Nile. Paper is, in fact, one of the most popular materials with which to fabricate art.

FA-Q had notoriously been part of legendary Rivington School, and was known for his graffiti, street art and painting. Wendall’s art thus provides a link that transcends time and place, visualizing movements of a global culture, and in this case charts the arrival of graffiti into Finland

Kevin Wendall aka FA-Q’s “proper” art career started in New York. He was a graffiti artist in the 70’s and 80’s who changed billboards and advertisements, scraping out letters to give them new meanings. By the mid-80s he was a rising star, selling his art for high prices.
