Teaser: Crazy 4 Cult III @ Gallery 1988 (LA)

Posted by sleepboy, July 8, 2009

It’s always interesting to see artists step out of their comfort zone and create a piece for theme shows.Â Constrained by the subject matter, one needs to find a way to fit into the show, yet maintain your own style so that your work is recognizable as your own.Â Ana Bagayan was successful on all counts with this piece (creative process on her blog) for this year’s Crazy 4 Cult show at Gallery 1988 (LA).Â The third installment of this hugely successful show is set […]

Openings: “Ways of Seeing” @ Black Rat Press

Posted by sven, July 8, 2009

Black Rat Press‘ stunning lighting rig came into its own this past Thursday when the new three-person show “Ways of Seeing” opened. Featuring new work from Swoon (interviewed), Brian Adam Douglas a.k.a. Elbow-Toe (interviewed) and Matt Small (interviewed), the vibrancy and luminosity of the colors of Douglas’ and Small’s work was really highlighted by the controlled approach to lighting against the brickwork backdrop of the gallery.Â More after the jump…

Jeff Soto Watercolors

Posted by sleepboy, July 7, 2009

One thing you have to respect about Jeff Soto’s (interviewed) work is his willingness to experiment when it would have been easy to just keep painting robots and other familiar imagery. As evidenced by this RAM show and his first UK solo show, he has definitely moved on (although it’s nice to see his stunning return to the streets – here & here, something hopefully he will continue).Â Here, we see him having some fun with watercolors, which he will be sending to the Whammy!

Openings: David Ellis – “Constant Flow” @ New Image Art

Posted by Andrew Hosner, July 7, 2009

AM had the chance to swing through New Image Art on the opening night of “Constant Flow” – the new solo show from Barnstormers member David Ellis. The show comes down this weekend, so we apologize for the lag in posting, it’s just been a busy month that’s been packed with shows, but Ellis killed it and the show is most definitely worth checking out if you have the chance. More pics and a recap on the show after the jump.
