Mike Estabrook and Ernest Concepción of the New York-based collective, The Shining Mantis, have created their sixth Kangarok mural for Artists in Exile. These spontaneous chalk-on-black wall drawings are created by “wars” in which each Estabrook and Concepción “artistically attack” each other’s individual drawings (see more images of their work on Flickr).

Don’t miss this site-specific work, which will be on view at Arario Gallery New York, January 24 – February 22, 2009.
