    FAILE (New York, active since 1999)

    Est: $300 - $600

    FAILE (New York, active since 1999) Pop Art Screenprint. Hand signed. Sight Size: 35.5 x 23.5 in. Overall Framed Size: 39 x 27.25 in. FAILE is the name of a collective of painters, graphic designers and illustrators based in New York. It was founded by Patrick McNeil, an American born in 1975 in California, and Patrick Miller, a Canadian born in 1976 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The two artists met in high school and together created the FAILE collective in 1999. In 2000, while they were art students in New York, they met Japanese artist Aiko Nakagawa who joined the collective until 2006. They discovered together the underground culture of New York and took a passion for this universe. The collective began its urban art project by photographing street art and graffiti on the streets of New York. Then, little by little, they started using street art techniques: silkscreen printing, stencils, collages, painting, sculpture, fresco mosaic? They exhibit their works on the city walls and come to contemplate the effect of time on their creations: they like the ephemeral side of their works and the sensation of freedom during creation. To publicise their early work, they produced a hundred posters of naked women which they placed all over the streets of Manhattan. The aim is to arouse the curiosity of passers-by and to create mystery. FAILE's street art is more feminist and contrasts with the graffiti culture of the time. They especially like old images, pop culture and comics. They are influenced by artists such as Roy Lichtenstein and Basquiat. The collective travels and exports its street art all over the world such as Tokyo, Paris, London, Barcelona, Madrid, Berlin, Amsterdam and Lisbon where they pose collages, stencils and create giant frescos. For almost 15 years, the FAILE Collective has been spreading its street art, which was consecrated in 2003 with two solo exhibitions, one in London and the other in Tokyo.

    FAILE "Strange Encounters" - 2007

    Est: $300 - $500

    "Strange Encounters" - 2007 Screenprint in Colour. Pencil signed and numbered lower margin. Sheet Size: 30 x 22.5 in. Unframed. FAILE is the name of a collective of painters, graphic designers and illustrators based in New York. It was founded by Patrick McNeil, an American born in 1975 in California, and Patrick Miller, a Canadian born in 1976 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The two artists met in high school and together created the FAILE collective in 1999. In 2000, while they were art students in New York, they met Japanese artist Aiko Nakagawa who joined the collective until 2006. They discovered together the underground culture of New York and took a passion for this universe. The collective began its urban art project by photographing street art and graffiti on the streets of New York. Then, little by little, they started using street art techniques: silkscreen printing, stencils, collages, painting, sculpture, fresco mosaic? They exhibit their works on the city walls and come to contemplate the effect of time on their creations: they like the ephemeral side of their works and the sensation of freedom during creation. To publicise their early work, they produced a hundred posters of naked women which they placed all over the streets of Manhattan. The aim is to arouse the curiosity of passers-by and to create mystery. FAILE's street art is more feminist and contrasts with the graffiti culture of the time. They especially like old images, pop culture and comics. They are influenced by artists such as Roy Lichtenstein and Basquiat. The collective travels and exports its street art all over the world such as Tokyo, Paris, London, Barcelona, Madrid, Berlin, Amsterdam and Lisbon where they pose collages, stencils and create giant frescos. For almost 15 years, the FAILE Collective has been spreading its street art, which was consecrated in 2003 with two solo exhibitions, one in London and the other in Tokyo.
