(See his collection here). The packed afterparty was hosted by our friends at Wooster Collective (who had a cool part in the actual movie). The film was everything we expected […]

Posted by juggernut3, April 9, 2010

The Coachella Valley collective Date Farmers (aka: Armando Lerma and Carlos Ramirez) are about to open up a new solo at Jonathan Levine Gallery. “Smother Your Mother” is truly as it sounds – we were overwhelmed by the colors, mediums and works that were created when we stop by the gallery to check out their installation progress. Really rolling up their sleeves, Armando and Carlos were focused on creating an environment that grabs at the viewers, from Yoda, Prison Shanks, and their trademark symbols on found material, […]

Openings: Tomoo Gokita – “Wildest Dreams” @ ATM Gallery

Posted by juggernut3, April 7, 2010

We recently swung by ATM gallery to check out Tomoo Gokita’s latest show “Wildest Dreams”. The body of work was quite a departure from his usual style that we witnessed at his previous showing (here) at Honor Frasier Gallery as these new canvases measured more than 4-5 feet each way and it was more “literal” in style. It seems that these works took less of an abstract view and had a more concise focus. Bill from ATM gallery took the time to take us to the back […]

Koons recently unveiled the concept design for his automotive masterpiece which was inspired by his desire for the checkered flag leading him to create the streaking effect with saturated hues.

Happy Easter! Ron English – The Ascension of Santa Christ

Posted by juggernut3, April 4, 2010

Hope everyone is having a good Easter! Ron English (featured) was in Colorado Springs yesterday and sent us this video of him launching “Santa Christ”. A funny and strange play on this holiday… could it be his spin on the joke: “Who gets to cross first at the Stop Sign when there’s the Easter Bunny, Santa Clause, and the perfect…” Enjoy the video. Discuss Ron English here.

San Francisco is going to get another taste of Hush (interviewed) when his show at Shooting Gallery opens up May 1st. The latest solo “Passing Through” from the UK urban artist looks to be very sharp as we’ve seen some new direction with his latest “Looking West” style geisha that we showed you (here & here). Seen above is another new twist on his classic angel character called “Modern Angel” – looks a little edgier with a dissected feel… Check out the print (to be […]
