Openings: Damien Hirst @ The Wallace Collection

Posted by sleepboy, October 15, 2009

Damien Hirst’s series of paintings at The Wallace Collection is now open to the public so we suggest you stop by and judge for yourself whether you like this new direction for the not-so-young-anymore YBA. We kinda like these new pieces, not just because we are partial to artists who lay their actual hands on the works they sign their name on, but because Hirst was able to retain his signature imagery in this dark blue series of paintings.Â Make no mistake, with the skulls, […]

Posted by Ken, October 14, 2009

Saturday, October 10th saw the opening of the Stencil Art Show at White Walls in San Francisco.Â Featuring Shepard Fairey and Studio Number One protege Ernesto Yerena, the photo-realism of David Soukup, graffiti cum graphic design of Tes One (teased), Easter basket palette of Casey Gray and haunting alleys of Adam 5100‘s mind, the Stencil Art Show appears to have been a success.Â Reasonable asking prices have led to a well-selling show, a vital blueprint in today’s downtrodden but buyer friendly market.Â Detail and opening […]

Openings: Ray Caesar @ Art London

Posted by sleepboy, October 13, 2009

AM stopped by Richard Goodall’s booth at the Art London fair a couple weekends ago to check out the work of Ray Caesar. As we previously mentioned, Caesar was showing both new and old works, all demonstrating his imaginative prowess and skill at creating images that aren’t easily forgotten.Â Eschewing the more classical artistic techniques, he proves that the sometimes even more time-consuming digital works can be just as riveting if done properly. More images after the jump….

Video / Preview: Damien Hirst – “The Blue Paintings” @ The Wallace Collection

Posted by sleepboy, October 13, 2009

Telegraph recently sat down with Damien Hirst for an interview about his show “The Blue Paintings” (teased) at The Wallace Collection opening tomorrow.Â Featuring 25 paintings (all hand done by Hirst), he appears to be opening a new chapter in his career.Â With style reminiscent of his idol Francis Bacon, the works still include classic Hirst imagery like the shark jaws, butterflies, dots, and skulls.Â It remains to be seen whether he will be as successful with this artistic change of direction.Â Check out the […]

Judith Supine’s Studio – Another Look

Posted by sleepboy, October 12, 2009

Judith Supine’s studio must be a popular destination as we have seen pics from visits before (here and here). It’s pretty amazing what this master of collage is able to do with all the chaotic bits of images he saves or creates. Hopefully, we’ll be able to see some street pieces and/or a solo from him in Los Angeles soon. More images after the jump.

Video: Andy Warhol – The Last Decade @ the Milwaukee Art Museum.

Posted by sleepboy, October 12, 2009

The Milwaukee Art Museum is currently showing “Warholâ€™s Last Decade”, an appropriately named exhibition showcasing Andy Warhol’s later work. Known as the most experimental and risky work of his career, he introduced abstraction into his work with series such as “Oxidation Paintings, Shadows, Yarn, Rorschachs, Camouflage; produced his signature â€œfright wigâ€ self-portraits; and revealed his Catholicism in Black and White Ads and the ambitious series based on Leonardo da Vinciâ€™s The Last Supper.” During this late period, Warhol was influenced greatly by his collaboration with […]
