Update: Herakut

Posted by juggernut3, December 27, 2009

After a busy year trekking around the world, the dynamic duo of Herakut (interviewed) has been heads down working on another series of works. Our friend Frankie from Camp Barbossa did a little “drive-by” of their studio and sent us some images for a little sneak peak. More after the jump.

Basel Week Miami ’09 – Laura Ball @ Pulse

Posted by juggernut3, December 26, 2009

At the Pulse art fair, we were constantly running into new and wonderful art work. One of the artists that we were fortunate enough to discover was Laura Ball who showed with both Morgan Lehman Gallery and Kopeikin Gallery. Her primary technique is the use of watercolor with her main subjects being animals and her family members. We found her precision with the dreamy watercolors to be really attractive and one thing that stands out is her use of the blending and bleeding of her watery pigments […]

Openings: Chris Berens – “The Only Living Boy in New York” @ Sloan Fine Art

Posted by juggernut3, December 21, 2009

Last week, Amsterdam-based artist Chris Berens made his New York debut with a brilliant solo show at Sloan Fine Art. Chris has been working hard on this show and came through with 39 detailed pieces to show for his efforts. As mentioned in our previews (here & here), Chris utilizes a mixed technique blending his heritage of studying the “old masters” with his unique brushstrokes on photographic paper to create a dream like effect. This beautiful hazy effect is something that is further illuminated by seeing his art […]

Basel Week Miami ’09: Aqua Fair

Posted by juggernut3, December 19, 2009

This year’s Basel Week Miami wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the Aqua Art Miami fair in the Wynwood district. Chock full of visual goodies from galleries we know and love to some newly discovered ones that are now on the AM radar. It was treat to experience some great art at this fair. Check out all the images including several pieces from Jin Young Yu (interviewed & seen above) after the jump.

Basel Week Miami ’09: Pulse Fair

Posted by juggernut3, December 18, 2009

Sometimes, it takes stepping out of your comfort zone to get a fresh perspective on the way one views art. That is what Pulse did for us in Miami. From the moment we entered the fair, we noticed many galleries and artists that we weren’t accustomed to viewing. We constantly found ourselves stopping and asking more questions about “what is that?” and “who made it?” than any other fair during Art Basel Week. A truly rewarding experience. Check out all the visual nuggets we dug up after […]

Basel Week Miami ’09 – Jun Nguyen-Hatsushiba @ Mizuma

Posted by juggernut3, December 17, 2009

As many art fans know, art isn’t just about the finished product; it’s often the process and inspiration that it draws from. Unlike their previous art fairs, Mizuma Gallery focused it efforts at Art Basel with a solo project from Jun Nguyen-Hatsushiba entitled “Breathing is Free: 12,756.3- Ho Chi Minh City 118.3 km.” This unique series of work focuses on Jun physically running 12,756 Kilometers – the diameter of the earth – utilizing a wrist GPS as he runs and via the magic of a […]

Update: Chris Berens – “The Only Living Boy in New York” @ Sloan Fine Art

Posted by juggernut3, December 15, 2009

Last week, we gave you a taste (here) of what’s to come for the Chris Berens show opening up this Wednesday at Sloan Fine Art. AM stopped by the gallery while they were installing the new show to check out the new paintings first hand. The details are astounding with New York specific elements in some. Check out our exclusive first look at what will be a great show after the jump.

Openings: Audrey Kawasaki – “Hajimari – a prelude” @ Jonathan LeVine Gallery

Posted by juggernut3, December 14, 2009

When hype is built up, rarely does the show ever meet the expectations. Once in a blue moon does one actually surpass the expectations – which is exactly what this show did. Audrey Kawasaki opened up her much anticipated body of work “Hajimari – a prelude” (previewed) at Jonathan LeVine Gallery last weekend in New York City. The sold-out show drew a max capacity crowd that overflowed from the packed gallery space into the adjacent hallways. There were three lines going the whole night – one to get […]

Preview: James Marshall – “And There Was War in Heaven” @ Jonathan LeVine Gallery

Posted by juggernut3, December 11, 2009

Opening tomorrow night at Jonathan LeVine Gallery is James Marshall’s (interviewed) latest show entitled “And There Was War in Heaven.” With this new body of work, the artist formerly known as Dalek continues down the path of near-total geometric abstraction, with few or no references remaining to his early space monkey character. In addition, Marshall has created several paintings with a more simplified style and a very recession-friendly pricing, which will no doubt interest old and new Dalek collectors alike. See the rest of the […]
