Almost every year, Austin based Mondo usually puts on an event they like to call MMM or Mondo Mystery Movie. This past December, they hosted the event in Los Angeles and brought along the best Christmas Movie of all tims, Die Hard, along with a new piece of art from Brussels-based artist Laurent Durieux. Not only did they debut a new piece for Die Hard but they also used the event to announce their next gallery show, which just so happened to be a solo show for Durieux.
Last night a few pieces were leaked online via Facebook and we figured it was a good time to share with the world some of the amazing pieces that will be on display this Friday at the opening of Laurent’s show. While an official press release has not been released regarding the details of all the prints, it has been stated by Laurent, via his Facebook page, that he will have 10 different properties and 8 of those pieces will have a variant print, which brings the total to 18 prints for the show. Prices and run sizes have still not been released for all the prints but it’s a safe bet that the regulars will run between $50-55 and the variants will run close to $75.
The show will be a mix of Sci-fi films and Hitchcock films with maybe a Universal Monster surprise. While not every piece has been leaked thus far ( the day is still young) we do have a pretty complete list of what is to be expected at the show with previews for the vast majority of the films. So without furthur ado, I present to you the art of Laurent Durieux:

So there you have it! 7 of the 10 pieces have been leaked/debuted. It’s worth noting that Back to the Future will have a variant as well, however at this time it hasn’t been released. As for the remaining two pieces, let the speculation begin. We are hearing that a Universal Monster, another Sci-fi piece about aliens coming to earth and maybe one more Hitchcock piece will be the final three pieces, but the internet tends to think that it might be Back to the Future III and possibly L.A. Confidential or The Exorcist.
What we do know is that regardless of what the last two prints may be, this is going to be one kick ass show! If you happen to be in the Austin area you have to make sure to stop by the gallery. The solo show runs from Feb. 7th thru March 1st and is located at 4115 Guadalupe Street.
