Ethos Arts is drawing attention to its 'Genuine $treet' collection, a 16-work selection of street art currently shown at contemporary Italian restaurant Il Girasole in Costa Mesa. The presentation is described as being displayed on the restaurant’s ceiling, and the gallery invites visitors to book a reservation to dine beneath the works.
The collection brings together artists from around the world and spans multiple media, including photography and mixed media on different surfaces. The page for 'Genuine $treet' identifies the participating artists as Artlord, Denis Ouch, RS Artist, Pitch Black and others, positioning the project as a survey of urban and street-based practices rather than a single-artist presentation.
Among the works listed in the collection are Artlord’s 'Mess of a Marilyn No. 5' and 'Smooches No. 1', Denis Ouch’s 'Like Me' and 'Pig Spirit', RS Artist’s 'SEVERAL IN ONE', and Pitch Black’s 'Celebrate Gold', 'Circuit Boy' and 'Off The Chain'. The collection also includes VLAD VANDAMME’s 'BANG MORE', Amber Goldhammer’s 'Points For The Cherry', Russian Doll’s 'Lady with an Ermine' and 'Silver Butterflies', suggesting a mix of pop-inflected imagery, collage, and contemporary street-art references.
Ethos Arts presents the selection through its web store and newsletter, alongside other current offerings. The gallery’s broader online materials say it represents emerging and recently established local and international artists and specializes in large-scale paintings, art glass, and monumental sculpture. Its site also notes complimentary home and business art consultations, free local delivery and installation with purchase, and regular opening hours Tuesday through Saturday from 11:00am to 4:00pm at 3405 Newport Boulevard in Newport Beach.
The 'Genuine $treet' page does not announce an opening reception or closing date. Instead, it frames the collection as an ongoing display tied to the restaurant setting, with the central invitation focused on dining under the works and making a reservation. The emphasis on ceiling placement and restaurant viewing gives the presentation a site-specific quality within Il Girasole’s interior.
The collection page sits alongside other Ethos Arts listings, including a separate events page and product pages for individual works by artists such as David Krovblit, Marton Varo, Georgeana Ireland and Gerrie Lewis. In the collection itself, the combination of edition-like street-art imagery and mixed-media works underscores the gallery’s interest in collectible urban art presented in a hospitality environment rather than a conventional white-cube exhibition format.
