Locust Projects is pleased to announce the launch of its limited edition series, which will be another one of its key means to provide crucial funding for programming and special projects. Annually, Locust will present a specially commissioned limited edition art work for sale. Each year’s edition will be published with a different artist. Locust kicks off the series with an exclusively produced edition of 10 letterpress prints by Matthew Brannon. The image of the dramatically striking new façade painting Brannon made for LOCUST, now on view. Details to be announced. The print will be unveiled at Hot Havana Nights and is available on a first come basis, ONLY to those purchasing tickets to the event.

Entitled  “Switching Positions,” the print is 30 x 38 inches (letterpress on paper) and is an image of the dramatically striking new façade painting Brannon made for LOCUST, now on view.

All proceeds from the sale of these prints ($2,500 individually) will benefit Locust Projects.
Matthew Brannon is a New York City based artist whose work explores the "unresolvable tension between decoration, design and fine art.” He has had solo exhibitions internationally and was notably included in “Greater New York 2005,” at P.S.1 Center for Contemporary Art. His work has been featured in ARTFORUM and Art in America among other publications. He is represented in New York by Frederich Petzel and has exhibited in Miami, with Kevin Bruk Gallery. His work often depicts an intersection of imagery and ideas culled from modern and vintage graphic design --recalling movie posters advertisements and other mainstream media references. His aesthetic tends to both the elegantly Baroque and macabre, in a tongue in cheek fashion, with word play an often essential element. A graduate of Columbia MFA program, Brannon is a rising star in the International contemporary art scene and will be featured this June, with a solo showing in the Statements section in ART BASEL, Switzerland.
