Watch The Skies will continue Travis Louie’s (interviewed) longstanding collaboration with the Merry Karnowsky Gallery with another exhibition scheduled for November 14th at the Los Angeles showspace.

Louie further states – “My work is a continuing conversation that started out as a veiled commentary about the immigrant experience. Originally the […]

The Italian artist has made his name painting his iconic characters around the world with their recognizable large heads. For Man Is God, he takes this to the next level with large three-dimensional representations that almost take on a sacred feel like the Easter Island heads. This installation is surrounded by ceremonial banners that cover the walls […]

Nathan Ota will be opening a new solo this weekend at KP Projects//MKG in Los Angeles entitled Four Corners, alongside a showing from Andrew Hem.

Featuring imagery that Ota’s fans will recognize like woodlands, cartoonish creatures, and wood crates, the new whimsical pieces will be on display starting this Saturday, October […]
