On Saturday night, the German street art duo, Herakut, held their first U.S. gallery show at one of the most exciting up and coming local art spaces, the Carmichael Gallery of Contemporary Art in West Hollywood. Both Hera and Akut were there to meet fans and prospective buyers, who have bought several pieces and put many on hold. The show, titled Streichelzoo (“petting zoo” in German), runs through May 4. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Sunday, 2:00PM - 7:00PM, and by appointment.

   

Stuck in traffic down Laurel Canyon Blvd. this weekend on the metropolitan side of the hill, we took note of this stencil, below. We can't identify the artist, can you? It looks like Bansky, but sources say no. Blek le Rat was in town, but that's not his. Herakut just opened their show this weekend, but Carmichael Gallery of Contemporary Art owner Seth Carmichael says it was not them and that he noticed this piece a couple weeks ago. So, dear readers, can you help? Comment below if you know or can add any tips, other sightings, etc.

Like Blek le Rat, who had his first U.S. show last week at Shepard Fairey's Subliminal Projects, more European street art comes to Los Angeles for an American debut. Tonight, from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m., Herakut's show, Streichelzoo (“petting zoo” in German) opens at Carmichael Gallery of Contemporary Art in West Hollywood and runs through through May 4.
