Last Friday, 11PM Records, the North American hardcore label presented 'La Vie En Noir' a group show at OBEY ART SPACE Paris with Amy Dorian and Rob Roche, followed by a punk show the next night.Amy Dorian, an artist whose work confronts the tension between structure and chaos, beauty and distortion. Rooted in a punk ethos, her practice explores the aesthetics of rebellion, strength, and vulnerability through a deeply personal visual language. Rob Roche is a scene activist based in Nantes, known for tirelessly creating flyers for punk shows and everything that surrounds them. His graphic work—raw, intuitive, and unapologetically DIY—moves between analog and digital, blending collage, image reappropriation, and illustration.
Thanks to everyone that came to the opening! and if you missed the opening the show is on view until Friday May 23rd.Visit our blog for more info on the artists and 11PM Records. OBEY ART SPACE Paris40 Rue Étienne Marcel

Rob Roche is active in the punk scene based in Nantes, known for tirelessly creating flyers for punk shows and everything that surrounds them. His graphic work—raw, intuitive, and unapologetically DIY—moves between analog and digital, blending collage, image reappropriation, and illustration. When he's not distorting typographic norms or drawing weird shit, he's running the hobby tape label Urticaria, organizing shows with his local crew Damaged Good, or making noise in bands like Precipice and Ants. Damaged Good is a small DIY collective organizing concerts in Nantes. Precipice is his hardcore punk band, while Ants is a newer project with a pop lo-fi sound.Rob will be taking part of the group show ‘La Vie En Noir’ at OBEY Art Space Paris curated by 11PM Records, a hardcore punk record label based in Richmond Virginia and Toronto Ontario led by Patrick Walsh. The show will feature two artists Rob Roche and Amy Dorian.Opening reception: May 9th | 6PM - 10PMOBEY Art Space Paris40 Rue Etienne Marcel

Introducing Amy Dorian, an artist whose work confronts the tension between structure and chaos, beauty and distortion. Rooted in a punk ethos, her practice explores the aesthetics of rebellion, strength, and vulnerability through a deeply personal visual language.Her pieces often reflect a fascination with the grotesque and the graceful—finding harmony in contradiction. Whether on canvas or unconventional surfaces, Dorian's work is a meditation on discipline, purity, and resilience amid a world that feels increasingly unhinged. Originally trained in design, Amy's transition into fine art was born out of a desire to reject the merely decorative. What emerged is a body of work that is raw, unfiltered, and  original—each piece a confrontation, a reflection, and a reclamation.Amy will be taking part of the group show ‘La Vie En Noir’ at OBEY Art Space Paris curated by 11PM Records, a hardcore punk record label based in Richmond Virginia and Toronto Ontario led by Patrick Walsh. The show will feature two artists Rob Roche and Amy Dorian. Patrick told us “Amy's art is a product evident of her upbringing in the hardcore scene although her evolution of styled iconography and medium forward pieces push the genre forward everyday. She is responsible for multiple 11PM pieces and contributes a ton to pushing hardcore punk forward visually.”Opening reception: May 9th | 6PM - 10PMOBEY Art Space Paris40 Rue Etienne Marcel

Last Thursday, Subliminal Projects hosted the launch event and book signing of Glen E. Friedman’s latest book, FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS, featuring iconic photographs of the Bad Brains from 1981 and 1982. Shepard Fairey also released a new limited edition print, in collaboration with Glen.If you weren’t able to make it, we have a limited amount of copies of FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS signed by Glen E. Friedman available.

This season, we collaborated with Oakland-raised, Los Angeles-based multimedia artist Elan Watson. We looked to Elan's lens to blend his skills in photography and videography to capture the feel of Northeast and Downtown Los Angeles during this time of year.His photos and style were meant to compliment the collection with their colors and textures. The collection itself leans into soft, worn-in silhouettes, sun-faded brights, and warm neutrals. Summer ‘25 is available online and at retailers globally.Photographer + Videographer:Elan Watson - @elan.w Music:Chris Upton - @_chrisupton @ghostparty.coModels:Santino - @bluetoothboominMalcom - @malc3000Noelle - @noellelampe
