The exhibition is appropriately titled, MORE.<\/p>\n<p>Within the new body of work in MORE, INSA explores themes of aspiration and expectation, wants versus needs, and happiness versus success in his most comprehensive study to date. Using exaggerated symbols of sexuality representing the commodification of both everyday life and underground subcultures, INSA examines the illusions of seduction while employing his own iconic brand of aesthetic allure to draw the audience in. INSA\u2019s new work revels in lurid excess, embracing the insatiability of consumerism and highlighting the duplicity of morality and enjoyment.<\/p>\n<p>Followers of the artist will be familiar with some of the themes displayed in MORE. INSA, constantly involved in interesting new projects, recently gained worldwide attention for his piece \u201cAnything Goes When It Comes To (S)hoes,\u201d (more commonly referred to as his \u201cElephant Dung Heels\u201d) which were exhibited at Tate Britain in London. He has also been a pioneer in the world of graffiti on the Internet with his visually stunning, labor intensive \u201cGifitti.\u201d This is all in addition to INSA\u201ds continuing insatiable need to cover any surface with his signature \u201cGraffiti Fetish\u201d pattern.<\/p>\n<p>MORE will feature 9 new provocative works, with INSA utilizing media such as sculpture and lights adding to the \u201cglamour\u201d of his work. The exhibition will also feature an exclusive SF edition of INSA\u2019s classic \u201cHeel\u201d print and a selection of photographic prints.<\/p>\n<p>MORE will run at FIFTY24SF Gallery from February 3rd, 2011 \u2013 February 28th, 2011<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FIFTY24SF Gallery in Association with Upper Playground presents: \u201cMORE\u201d \u2013 A collection of new work by INSA Upper Playground and FIFTY24SF Gallery are pleased to announce London-based graffiti, conceptual, and fine artist INSA\u2019s first solo exhibition in San Francisco opening on February 3rd, 2011.
