Ron English has been a busy man since his show at Elm’s Lester (studio visit and opening). Last month, he “tagged” the skyline of NYC with clouds (here)Â in preparation for his curated show “Nimbus Vapor” at Opera Gallery (previewed). Last week AM attended the opening of Ron’s curated take on the most important street artists of our time consisting of a hall of fame lineup consisting of names such asÂ Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Banksy, Blek Le Rat, Daze, Crash, Shepard Fairey (featured), Faile, Futura, Logan […]

Baby Tattooville ’09: KMNDZ (Part II)

Posted by sleepboy, October 10, 2009

One of the big surprises of Baby Tattooville this year was the big reveal of who would walk home with the huge KMNDZ painting we previously told you about. After a dramatic explanation of the raffle by Bob Self, everyone came and picked a small envelope after which everyone opened at the same time. Imagine the chaos that ensued when each individual attendee was lead to believe they were the winner. As you can see from the video above, it turns out everyone was a […]

Posted by sven, October 9, 2009

Adam Neateâ€™s much anticipated solo show “A New Understanding” opened last night at Elms Lesters Painting Rooms and AM went along to see just where Adamâ€™s new direction had taken him. After revealing to us in our recent interview that heâ€™d been through some troubled times during the creation of this work, we were pleased to see him in good spirits happily chatting to fans and collectors whilst signing an almost endless stream of books and posters. His classic and recognizable self portrait profile made […]

Interviews / Preview: Esao Andrews – “Farewell Avery” @ Thinkspace Gallery

Posted by AM, October 9, 2009

It’s been a while since Esao Andrews has had a major show and for his many fans, it’s long overdue. Since his showing with Roq La Rue last May, he’s been relatively off the grid – most likely getting ready for this year’s show “Farewell Avery” at Thinkspace, opening TONIGHT. It seems like it has been time well spent because this new body of work took our breath away. Even though we teased you with a peak at “The Conjoined Bell”, we had no idea […]

Posted by sleepboy, October 8, 2009

Interviews: Eric White

Posted by sven, October 8, 2009

Following on from our recent studio visit with Eric White, we put some questions to the Brooklyn based painter ahead of his New York solo show “LP” at Sloan Fine Art. AM thought that the concept he had behind the work was captivating – reworked album covers that carried an influence for the artist before he got his first CD player back in 1983 – all in a 12 inch square format, of course. This is Eric’s first NYC solo since the phenomenal “Who Are […]

Preview: Ana Bagayan – “Critters” @ Roq La Rue

Posted by juggernut3, October 8, 2009

Go big… that’s whatÂ Ana Bagayan (featured) is aiming for with this show apparently. We were impressed with the larger scale and the amount of detail she put into the paintings she created for this Seattle show. This Friday, her new body of work, “Critters” willÂ open up alongsideÂ Tin (interviewed)Â & Ryan Heshka at Roq La Rue. AM has a preview of the latest set of paintings from this very talented artist to share with you after the jump…

Benefit: Gary Baseman Drawing for Cultural Canvas Thailand

Posted by juggernut3, October 7, 2009

It’s always great fun to catch up with friends/artists at events like Baby Tattooville. In fact, enjoyed ourselves so much with Gary Baseman and gangÂ that we almost forgot to mention his benefit auction for Cultural Canvas Thailand – a Thai art charity looks to help single mothers and children. Gary has generously donated an awesome drawing measuring 6 feet x 3 feet for this cause. Check out the auction here, but hurry cause thisÂ ends a little after midnight tonight. SeeÂ the detailed pics after the jump.

Interviews: Adam Neate – “A New Understanding” @ Elms Lesters

Posted by Lawrence, October 7, 2009

Adam Neate’s second solo show, “A New Understanding” will be opening at Elms Lesters this Friday, October 9th.Â From what we have seen from this body of work, it looks like Neate is really continuing to blur the boundaries between painting and sculpture with his use of found materials such as cardboard, metal and perspex.Â In our exclusive interview, Neate discusses his upcoming show, which has been in the making for over two years, plus much more.Â Full interview and preview images after the jump….
