Studio Visits: David Choe

Posted by Ken, February 1, 2010

AM swung by David Choe’s satellite studio for a visit as the artist was preparing for his upcoming show at FIFTY24SF. Choe, who lives and works in New York City, has deep roots with both Los Angeles and the Bay Area and has maintained a makeshift studio a half hour south of San Francisco for the past two years. Part recording studio, part screen print press, this live/work space provides the ideal creative getaway for the ever traveling artist. David opened his doors for a […]

Releases: Glenn Barr x Pressure Printing – “Evening” Print

Posted by sleepboy, January 31, 2010

Pressure Printing continues their line of stellar releases with this new print, “Evening”, from Glenn Barr (who has a show currently showing in Dallas). You may remember first seeing the original at the Riverside Art Museum in our Baby Tattooville coverage for 2008. The subtle brush strokes in Barr’s painting evoke a warmth and depth that definitely stood out to us that night and it seems that Pressure Printing has done a pretty good job replicating that in this release. The print (a 23″ x […]

Video: Doze Green – “New Works” @ Jonathan LeVine Gallery

Posted by sleepboy, January 31, 2010

A video came out recently that walks through the Doze Green show (covered) that is currently showing at the Jonathan Levine Gallery. Monotonous documentary lady voice notwithstanding, the video highlights the otherworldly and stylized work from the old school street artist, especially the vibrancy of his color pieces. Discuss Doze Green here. Via Vandalog.

Openings: Alex Prager – “Week-end” @ Yancey Richardson and M+B

Posted by Ken, January 30, 2010

Alex Prager’s third installment of her trilogy on Valley life, “Week-End” opens today, January 30th, in Los Angeles at M+B Gallery while the New York showing at Yancey Richardson will continue till the 20th of February. Whereas her two previous shows, “Polyester” and “The Big Valley” respectively presented the glamor of vintage suburban life and it’s gradual deterioration, “Week-End” is a dark look into the lives of her subjects as their world finally unfurls. In a style reminiscent of Cindy Sherman mixed with a color […]

Teaser: Sarah Joncas – “Shadow Play” @ Roq La Rue

Posted by sleepboy, January 30, 2010

Canadian artist Sarah Joncas will be opening a show next month (February 12th) in Seattle at the Roq La Rue Gallery. It sounds like her new body of work will deal with the idea of shadows, either imprinted onto the character or created by the character themselves and will be appropriately named “Shadow Play”. She will be showing alongside French artist Ciou – take a look at a show card after the jump…

Preview: Andres Guerrero @ Subliminal Projects

Posted by juggernut3, January 30, 2010

San Francisco based artist Andres Guerrero is set to open a new show at Subliminal Projects on February 6th. His art has been a boon for him to equate the personal emotions of losing loved ones in his life. While at first his skulls may seem morbid, on second glance, it also contains the duality of life and its fragile yet wondrous nature. Andres and SP has hooked us up with a few exclusive preview images of what’s to come. Check it out after the jump.

Indianapolis & New Orleans “Art” Superbowl Bet

Posted by sleepboy, January 29, 2010

With the Super Bowl coming up next weekend, per tradition, the mayors of the two participating teams’ cities will make a symbolic bet on the outcome of the game. It’s hard to imagine them topping what the Indianapolis Museum of Art and the New Orleans Museum of Art are betting though. The IMA nd NOMA have agreed on a bet in which both are wagering a prized painting from their collection – the IMA is betting a J.M.W. Turner painting, “The Fifth Plague of Egypt”, […]

Openings: Stephanie Gutheil – “Kopftheater” @ Mike Weiss

Posted by AM Editor, January 29, 2010

Mike Weiss Gallery in Chlesea recently opened an interesting show by young German artist Stefanie Gutheil. The exhibition is entitled “Kopftheater”, which translates to “Theater of the mind” and is a fitting description of the strange and imaginative worlds portrayed in Gutheil’s paintings. The press release name-drops 15th and 16th-century Dutch painters Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel as influences, but we think that her creatures remind us a lot of Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice. Take a look at the images and decide for yourself, after the […]

Streets: Jef Aerosol

Posted by sleepboy, January 28, 2010

Famed French street artist Jef Aerosol is set to open his debut New York solo show “All Shook Up” tonight at Ad Hoc Art. Look for brand new stenciled works as well as classic pieces on paper, wood, and found objects. Of course, as is custom with his “trade,” he set about getting up pieces all around town to coincide with the exhibition. Take a look at several other pics after the jump at all the street work which of course include his iconic red […]

Teaser: Jonathan LeVine Five Year Anniversary Group Show

Posted by sleepboy, January 28, 2010

James Jean (interviewed) recently posted up images of two small paintings (12″ x 12″) for the upcoming Jonathan LeVine Five Year Anniversary Group Show. The two pieces are beautiful although disturbing as they feature shoemakers, but also what appear to be children – bringing up thoughts of child labor (one of them seen smoking). An intriguing start to a show we are naturally excited about, considering the pedigree of artist that has come through the LeVine gallery through the years. It opens on February 27th […]
