Bio
THH70 was born in human form in 1970 in Los Angeles, California, but the persona of his nom de plume was conceived in 1994 as a stage name for his other career as a recording artist. He is now an accomplished visual artist, with his works in private and corporate collections on every continent. Since 2000, he has sold over 1300 original mixed media pieces, and his website—www.thh70online.com—continues to receive thousands of hits per month. To date, THH70 has shown in solo and group shows in galleries and museums across the United States and the Caribbean, and has appeared in print and online publications worldwide.
THH70 is recognized for his unique artistic approach that he has branded Lo-Fi Urban
Contemporary, combining crude painterly techniques and utilizing materials and media (that include everything from acrylics and spray paint to household products like Windex and X-14 mildew remover) with his own style of raw illustration and stream-of-consciousness linguistics.
In 2001, sensing the online absence of a hub for like-minded artists to collectively exhibit their work, THH70 created AOA: Alternative Online Artists, an online, juried collective of approximately 30 artists. Since being founded, AOA has selected and maintained a roster of the nations most diverse and prolific alternative artists (with styles encompassing Pop, Outsider, Graffiti, Fluxus, Dada, Contemporary, Modern, Lowbrow, Urban, Abstract, Graphic Design, and Folk). The waves made by AOA artists continue to crash upon the art world, almost a decade later.
In late 2005, THH70 was interviewed (and appeared in) Americas Chemical Angels, a documentary by filmmaker Oxana Chumak about the overmedication of children with ADD/ADHD. In addition to the interview footage, THH70s seminal 2002 painting RITALIN® is featured prominently in the film, as well as in its promotional advertising.
2007: gallery hiatus.
2008: a busy year with multiple shows and appearances, showing of work alongside some of Contemporary Arts finest. Also in 2008: the release of THH70s self-published monograph THH70: an exploration of text, imagery, and other crazy , this a 94-page full-color book containing a selection of more than 100 paintings spanning the previous 3 years. In 08, THH70 also became a contributing editor to Mad Skills Magazine, an online arts & culture magazine in Europe.
2009 saw THH70s participation in an Obama-themed art exhibit in the Dominican Republic, where our hero was the only artist to be specially commissioned for his work in this show containing scores of works by internationally-renowned artists. In September 2009, five THH70 paintings were exhibited in a museum retrospective at The Contemporary Art Center of Virginia, which runs thru January 2010 and has already received massive critical acclaim. And in 2010, THH70 will be featured in the book Designing Obama, a 360-page book chronicling the grassroots art movement spawned by the 2008 Presidential Election and written by Scott Thomas, the Design Director of the historic campaign.
THH70 divides his time between Dallas, Texas and Los Angeles, CA.

Ben Lewis’s new documentary ‘The Great Contemporary Art Bubble’ You can now buy this film on DVD from my website www.benlewis.tv
It investigates the reasons behind the boom and bust of contemporary art.
The Great Contemporary Art Bubble
BBC Four. Monday 18th May. 9.00pm.
The last five years have seen an unprecedented craze for contemporary art. Contemporary art prices rose by an average of 800% while works by Andy Warhol, Francis Bacon and Mark Rothko sold for record-breaking prices of £30 million plus.
Art critic and film-maker Ben Lewis spent 2008 following the contemporary art market; travelling to art fairs, auctions, museums and the offices and homes of billionaire art collectors. He spoke to dealers, auctioneers, gallery-owners, art market analysts and art collectors trying to find out the reasons behind the greatest rise in the value of art in history.
He says: I didnt like what was happening in the contemporary art marketMuch of the art was mass produced, repetitive and commercial. Collectors bought it for investment and stored vast amounts of it in warehousesAnd the special privileges our society gave to art and artists were being exploited by some of the worlds richest people to make yet more money.
Everywhere Ben went he was told the contemporary art boom would go on forever fuelled by a new passion for art from the worlds super-rich. But he found other reasons for the boom unusual market practices, speculation, secrecy and tax breaks involving the whole art world.
It all climaxed on September 15th 2008 when Damien Hirst sold over £70 million of his art in one day. On that same day Wall Street bank Lehman Brothers collapsed triggered turmoil in global financial markets. One month later the art market crashed dropping by 40% in November 2008 and 75% by February 2009. It is still falling today.
Ben says: The contemporary art market had a speculative dynamic of its own thats why it kept on going while other markets crashed. Great works of art are still being made todaybut the Great Contemporary Art Bubble will surely go down in history as the epitome of the vanity and folly of our age.
