I’ve been a long-time fan of Logan Hicks so when I heard he revamped his website - I immediately checked it out. He’s integrated his blog and online shop where you can find art, prints, photographs, clothing & accessories. Hicks always uses his photographs as a basis for creating his stencils, but today was the first time I had seen his photos on their own. Upon first glance, his photos look surreal and keep you wondering whether they’re photos, paintings or stencils. Tenement, Logan Hicks
Logan hicks designs his unique photos as a product of a technique called HDR, or High Dynamic Range Photography, where the same subject is shot at different exposures - normal, under exposed, and over exposed. The three photos are layered and result in luminosity that is eerie, yet very beautiful. Logan Hick’s photos are gorgeous and you can see the stencil waiting to be born from them. Check out the shop, the photos and more at LoganHicks.com. If you want to learn more about Logan, his work and his process, check out the clip below from The Run Up.

Per Square Metre Gallery is putting on a show featuring the work of artists Logan Hicks, HAHA, and (female street artist) VEXTA. FUTURESHOCK is a week long exhibition of stencils as well as some of Logan Hicks’ recent HDR photographs. If you’re in the area, please do yourself a favor and stop by and take a look. These artists are dope.
Logan Hicks‘ work is always so impressive to me. His work is beautiful on it’s own, but when you realize it’s all stenciled and requires hours of tedious cutting out and layering, it becomes even more amazing to look at. Yesterday he opened his first solo show in London (and sadly, I wasn’t there) but I was able to see some photos online and wanted to share them with you. Here’s what Logan had to say about this show:
The past 6 months I have been chained to my studio like an sweatshop worker. It has been been both wonderful and grueling. Now, after this long, solitary work period, I am proud to present my solo show at The Black Rat Press gallery in London. This body of work will include about 30+ stencils pieces, as well as a new body of photography work.
If you’re in London I would definitely check this out. Details about the show below:
