This past Friday was the opening of Brooklyn-based artist Kelly Denato’s solo show at Bunnycutlet Gallery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The exhibit included paintings and mixed media works by Denato only and we were amazed at how much work was on display! Below are pictures of some of our favorite pieces that were on display:

This is just a portion of what was up Friday night, as there was many more pieces that were up on display. We love Denato’s work and attention to detail. She told us about how she collected several of the frames that held the smaller art from all over and how she rotates them from time to time, which we think adds extra character. Several pieces have already sold but there’s still plenty of art up for grabs. You can see what’s still for sale by checking out the Bunnycutlet Gallery website. “Chasing Rainbows” will be up until May 27, 2013.

Check out these fellas that were designed by UK-based duo TADO. You’re supposed to wear them like a clown’s nose, but they’re so cute they can stand on their own. T-Spex, Triceytops, or Dinomite make up Noses With Toes!

These noses were designed for Red Nose Day, a UK-based fundraiser to improve ways of life to those living in urban slums in the United Kingdom and Africa. Sadly these guys are currently only available in the UK at stores and through the Red Nose Day website for £1 GBP each.

This past weekend the Openhouse Gallery played host to the Hello Kitty Hello Art NYC show. The event is the second exhibit to showcase the works of various artists that have contributed to the book “Hello Kitty Hello Art.”

Artists in the show include the works of some of our favorite artists as well as some newfound loves. There was also a small popup shop where people can get their books signed by some of the featured artists in the show and get some Hello Kitty merch including limited edition prints and copies of the book.

Take a look at the pieces on display below.
