If you happen to find yourself in San Francisco this weekend, our boy Gregory Ito has an opening this Saturday, August 6th at Gallery Hijinks. Opening Reception 6-10pm.
“Gallery Hijinks is proud to present Point of Vision, a collection of painting, sculpture, and installation by Gregory Ito. In this new body of work Gregory continues his exploration of the concept of time, broadening his focus from lunar cycles to the cycle of a day, or rather everyday, from dawn to dusk and back again. Please join us for the opening reception on August 6th, 2011 from 6-10pm.
Throughout our humanly existence, time is depicted through the sequenced deconstruction of the constant relationship between night and day. The relationship we hold with the Sun, Moon, and Earth has been an evolution of ideas that continues to the days of contemporary society. The tools we use to define time have changed from Stone Hedge to the modern day calendar.
Gregory Ito’s current body of work is a reflection of human perception of these shifts presented through the mediums of painting, sculpture, and installation. The images he creates depict new ways to visually understand the concept of time, and use the celestial forms: Sun, Moon, and Earth, as reference points to the relationships that are discussed within each piece. The body of work carries this dialogue of our human connection with the linear progression forward into the future.”

Today is a day for art, and we would like to present to you our newest Electrolites Artist: the insanely talented Gregory Ito!

Gregory is the Co-Founder of Ever Gold Gallery, as well as the Co-Founder/Editor of San Francisco Arts Quarterly.
Be sure to head over to Gregory Ito’s artist page on our website to check out his killer artwork while the world waits as patient as it can for the upcoming Electrolites x Gregory Ito Collection!

Merry Monday, peoples of the world! Today we are officially launching the Caleb Freese Collection. There are only 5 pairs of shoes available, each one unlike any other. These masterpieces were hand-painted by Freese in Brooklyn, NY. Make sure to check out all of the pictures of this limited collection in the Electrolites Footwear Online Shop!
The Electrolites x Caleb Freese Collection is designed in Freese’s unique style of combining multiple design elements and imagery to create a multi-layered final product. The result is a piece of art that is beautiful both in it’s harmony and slight disconnect. View more of Freese’s work here.
“Freese merges painting, photography, design, and printmaking into a seamless but disparate display of beauty, energy, intimate human interaction, and the motion created as masses of people collide.”
-Jan Spellar (PACC art critic)
A slightly more modern adaptation of the temporary tattoo, by Tattly. Aristic, geeky, and wonderful. Company motto: “Life is too short to drink bad wine and wear ugly temporary tattoos. Right?” With that and the clever skin Pantone number tat, you’ve won us over Tattly. Check out all of their available designs on their site.

A London-based catering company has been serving these to diners at their parties… it’s snortable asparagus powder, served on a mirror with a rolled bill. Crossing the line? Maybe. Taking a line? Sure, why not. As long as it doesn’t make our pee smell to the high heavens, we’d take that veggie to the face.

Available starting today in the Online Shop, we are pleased to announce the HUMANIZE MASTER Collection from Ruffeo Hearts Lil’ Snotty! Included in this release is the much anticipated HUMANIZED MASTER Sneaker, the first of the RHLS for Electrolites Footwear Collection.
“The HUMANIZE MASTER sneaker is an LED-lit shoe inspired by peaking pre-amps and humanized beats that’s as conceptual as it is wearable.”
RHLS’s HUMANIZE MASTER Collection totes an impressive mainstream reception to date. The pop-sensible RHLS concept has been endorsed by music/fashion icons such as Kelis and Rihanna! The HM Bodysuit was worn by Kelis on last summer’s All Hearts West Tour, and the HM Tank (available here) is currently on tour on the backs of Rhianna’s back-up dancers this summer!
Now for the first time ever, HUMANIZE MASTER footwear is available to match the whole collection and to kick some color into your summer outfits!
The buzz around the Ruffeo Hearts Lil Snotty for Electrolites Footwear Collection has been circulating for some time now. (TimeOut New York is about to run a piece as well!) We would like to feed that fire by dishing out pictures from the artistic process behind the collection. Here are some photos of the making of the “HUMANIZE MASTER” - RHLS x Electrolites sample pairs!
