About Cleaver And Blade

Welcome to Cleaver and Blade Galleria, where the fusion of street and pop art forms the core of our identity. Established in 2017 in Taos, New Mexico, we ventured to the vibrant cultural landscape of New Orleans, LA, before returning to our roots in Taos. Our inception marked not just the birth of a gallery but a celebration of counterculture, freedom of expression, and the artistic mind. Embracing Controversy in Art At Cleaver and Blade, we recognize that true art often stirs the pot of controversy. Our artistic expressions are not just about aesthetics; they are conversations, sometimes bold and confrontational, that challenge the status quo. In portraying iconic figures as saints in our pop art, we blur the lines between the sacred and the secular, prompting discussions about idolatry, fame, and cultural veneration in modern society. While some may view this as provocative, we see it as an essential aspect of artistic freedom and social commentary. Our pieces are not just art; they are statements, inviting dialogue, introspection, and sometimes, debate. This willingness to engage with controversial themes is a cornerstone of our identity, reflecting our belief that art should not only be seen but also felt and discussed. Our Ethos and Artistic Vision At Cleaver and Blade, we are more than just a gallery. We are a movement, a declaration of artistic freedom and bold expression. Our collections are curated meticulously, showcasing the inventive works of graffiti artists,Read their story
