Description: This work was purchased from the RETROFITTED show at White Walls in 2010. I am selling because I own two other larger works by Kofie. "Cocked and Loaded"14 1/8" x 14 3/8" x 1 1/8" House paint, acrylic, pencil, ball point pen, acrylic ink, gel transfer and found tacks on wood panel. Finished in matte gel. Framed/edged in found yardsticks and used paint sticks. Note: I had previously listed this as being produced in 2010, but I finally took a photo of the back and it was clearly made in 2009, but sold to me in 2010. There was no COA issued from the Gallery, but the original gallery sticker and Kofie's signature and stamp are on the back (see last photo). I can also send you the original invoice that was sent to me by the gallery if you would like. **** Born and based in Los Angeles and active in the Southern California graffiti scene since the mid-nineties, BIPOC artist Augustine Kofie (b. 1973) works in painting, collage and mural interventions. Kofie’s fine art practice draws together the languages of graffiti’s deconstructive lettering, mechanical drafting, modern architecture, and plunderphonics, creating a unique take on constructivist abstraction.Recent exhibitions include: UP THE WALL, KIRK Gallery, Denmark; Adventures In Tonality, Gallery Openspace Paris; Darkest Before the Dawn, Stolenspace Gallery, London & INVENTORY, Jonathan LeVine Gallery, New York.Kofie has been featured in Juxtapoz, Graffiti Art Magazine, The World Atlas of Street Art and Graffiti, Le Petit Voyeur and VNA Magazine 26. His work is in both national and international private collections. **** Solo exhibitions 2021: State Of Mind - Hashimoto Contemporary - New York 2020: Adventures In Tonality - Galerie Openspace - Paris, France 2019: A.Kofie X MONKEY TIME - MONKEY TIME Boutique - Harajuku, Japan 2019: Darkest Before the Dawn - STOLENSPACE -London 2018: MNKZM - Swinton & Grant - Madrid, Spain 2017: Build From memory - Gallerie Openspace - Paris, France 2015: INVENTORY - Jonathan LeVine Gallery - New York 2015: OFF/GRID - David Bloch Gallery - Marrakech 2014: TAKING SHAPE - Gallerie Openspace - Paris, France 2014: Yesterdays Advance - Celaya Brothers Gallery - Mexico D.F. 2013: Structurally Sound - White Walls Gallery - San Francisco 2013: California Soul - Gallerie Openspace - Paris, France 2012: Working An Angle - Known Gallery - Los Angeles 2011: Circulatory System - White Walls Gallery - San Francisco 2010: RETROFITTED - White Walls Gallery - San Francisco 2009: Vintage Futurism - Zero1 Gallery - Los Angeles 2007: Kofie Vs SURU - SURU Store - Los Angeles 2006: Electric Avenue - Bent Gallery - Pasadena 2006: Hands On - Transport Gallery - Los Angeles 2005: Recent Painting - Still Life Gallery - New York 2005: Claska Gallery Installation - Meguro-Ku, Tokyo, Japan 2004: STREETWISE 3 - Lab 101 Gallery - Santa Monica 2001: MOBILIZATION - 33 1/3 Gallery - Los Angeles Select 2 & 3 man exhibitions 2019: GRAFFUTURISM: Robert Proch & A.
