Another Update: Josh Keyes – “Collision” @ David B. Smith Gallery

Posted by sleepboy, September 27, 2010

We couldn’t resist posting another teaser pic that is possibly (there’s a good chance it’s a commission piece also due to its size) for Josh Keyes‘ (interviewed) upcoming show at David B. Smith Gallery. This monster piece (perhaps 120″ x 40″?) looks to be an further exploration of the “Sowing” concept that we first saw in his Swarm Gallery show last year. We can’t wait to see the completed piece when the show “Collision” opens in November. Discuss Josh Keyes here.

Releases: Josh Keyes – “Last Kiss” Print

Posted by AM Editor, July 7, 2010

Every Josh Keyes fan knows how difficult it is to acquire a piece of his work, even his prints. All three of the prints released as part of “Fragment” (covered), Keyes’ January show at Jonathan LeVine Gallery, were small editions of 50 and not surprisingly sold out instantly to collectors on the show’s long waiting list. Well, after many months, David B. Smith Gallery will soon give people a better chance of acquiring one of the more striking images from “Fragment.” At approximately 11 a.m. […]

Posted by juggernut3, February 15, 2010

Following up on a great opening at JLG, Josh Keyes posted up some additional photos of his creative process for the creation of his newest body of work “Fragment” – (covered). The images allow us to gain some access into the meticulous thought process Josh goes through before ever laying a brush on canvas. It’s incredibly insightful to see the all the notes and sketches that lead to the creation of many of the pieces that we saw at the show. We also note some of the […]

Openings: Josh Keyes – “Fragment” @ Jonathan LeVine

Posted by AM Editor, January 17, 2010

AM was in Chelsea last night for the latest much-anticipated solo show by Josh Keyes (interviewed), entitled “Fragment,” at Jonathan LeVine Gallery. As expected, the large crowd was blown away by Keyes’ newest series of realistic-stylized portrayals of animals battling for survival against a hostile environment. And for the first time in a long time, Keyes included a human (non-statue) figure in one of his works – a portrait of himself presumably in a post-apocalyptic world – which takes a more direct approach in his […]
