Stoked to announce I was 1 of 20 artists selected as the 2016 #artpopclt winners. Super humbled to be selected and to be featured alongside 19 other amazing artists. I highly suggest checking out the other winners at the Charlotte ASC website. Every person that takes a picture of the billboard and tags me and @RealColeWorld in it on Instagram will received a free hand signed fine art print of their choosing, no joke! So keep your eyes peeled ;). Much love everyone
Kyle Mosher x Boston Skyline Art
No matter where I live, Boston will always have a special place in my heart. Boston is hard, it's cold, and it's unforgiving. It's also beautiful and rich in history. The oldest part of our nation. It shaped who I am. It chewed me up and spit me back out on many occasions. I remember, at times, not having enough money for food or gas. I am forever grateful for all the hard lessons it taught. My newest giclee gallery wrapped print, "Beantown" available in 4 different sizes. Starting at $150, comes hand signed, ready to hang, with free domestic shipping. I do have a black floating frame option available on all sizes as an added extra. Email only for all inquiries: Me@KyleMosher.com.

New Body of Work for 2016
I am constantly pushing myself to grow as an artist. For those who are familiar with my work, I am headed in a new direction for 2016 and beyond. My signature aesthetic will not change, but the style and subject matter will be slightly different. When I set out on this journey seven years ago my goals were completely different. I achieved everything I wanted and more. Now, I have new goals and a new vision for my art. My goal for 2016 is to push my work in a more conceptual and sophisticated direction. There will be a heavy Cy Twombly and Rauschenberg influence. Lots of stylized visual story telling and symbolism. Also, there will be a lot of really large paintings in terms of size. I am currently working closely with a New York City gallerist for the direction of this new body of work. I am really stoked to spread my wings creatively and embark on this new direction.

Radeberger Tastemaker Collective Presents: Kyle Mosher x Decora
Radeberger Pilsner brings together visual artist Kyle Mosher and Hip-Hop artist Decora in celebration of their “Tastemaker Collective.” Mosher is a full-time artist from Charlotte, NC who uses cut vintage paper and acrylic paint to create his signature portraits. Decora is a multifaceted hip-hop artist and poet hailing from the Hudson Valley in New York, creating music that spans across the fine arts, fashion, and cultural spheres. The two met at Mosher’s studio in Charlotte for an all out creative pow-wow. Mosher created one of his signature portraits while Decora rhymed a few a cappella bars from the track “Something” off his debut album, “Bread and Oats”. See how the creative process unfolds.

"Dreams: the Creation, the Hustle, the Struggle" Spotify mix by Kyle Mosher
The pain, the struggle, the hustle, the disappointment, the peaks and valleys, the rise and fall and (hopefully) the rise again. Success isn't linear there are most certainly going to be ups and downs. This mix encompasses everything that I've gone through in the past five years. Whether it's a specific lyric or lyrics that I can relate to or a song that has inspired me to be better, dream bigger, or work harder. I wanted to make a collection of songs that would at the very least help inspire/motivate people that are following their dreams. Where ever you are in your climb to your dreams it's helpful to find people you can relate to. Where I came from it was hard for me to find people that were trying to do something bigger than just the normal 9-5 so that's why I'm so vocal about my journey and experiences: to inspire and motivate others. There's so much bullshit out there; shitty jobs, bosses, self doubt, and other people that want to bring you down because their unhappy with their own lives. Believe in yourself, work your ass off, and be genuine and you'll find your success however you may define it. Without further adieu here's the mix entitled, "Dreams: The Creation, The Hustle, The Struggle."
