Fresh off his run in Bravo’s “Work of Art”, Miles Mendenhall lands a solo show with Half Gallery (co-owned by Bill Powers, a judge in the show) in NYC. The talented youngster, who made it to the finale, and who many felt should have won the entire competition, continues the abstract enlargements he started in his finale show. In his recap for the finale episode of Work of Art, Jerry Saltz says that losing the competition may help Miles in the long run. So far, […]

Interview with Gaye Advert / Preview: “Beyond Punk” @ Signal Gallery

Posted by sven, August 11, 2010

Two of our cultural loves come together this week in an artistic punk rock mash-up. “Beyond Punk” is a group art exhibition curated by femme punk icon Gaye Advert, the former bass guitarist of The Adverts. The show features a selection of musicians from the punk era who were either artists prior to being engulfed in the music scene or have turned to art as their form of expression. Several artists featured in the show are non-musicians, but have been long time followers of the […]

Posted by sleepboy, August 11, 2010

Sounds like the next big show at Lazarides’ main gallery space in London has been announced. Bast, who recently collaborated with Faile (featured) on the Deluxx Fluxx Arcade (London and New York), will be opening “Botulism” at Rathbone Place starting August 20th.

Via Vandalog. […]

Preview: “Summer Group Show” @ Joshua Liner Gallery

Posted by AM Editor, August 11, 2010

August in NYC is not typically the time to see great new art, as galleries tend to schedule group shows in order not to waste their A material on the few gallery goers left in town instead of summering in the Hamptons. Past experience, however, has shown us that the Joshua Liner Gallery defies expectations with their summer show, taking the opportunity to set the stage for their upcoming season, by exhibiting a strong selection of their regular roster and introducing us to a few […]

As we mentioned a couple weeks ago, Eric Joyner will be opening his newest show at Corey Helford this Saturday, August 14th. We had the opportunity to get together with Eric for a session of questions and answers as well as getting an advanced look at some of the pieces in this show.

Preview: Rob Sato – “Muscle Memories” @ Copro Gallery

Posted by sleepboy, August 6, 2010

Rob Sato, who last showed at the Japanese American National Museum and GRSF, will be bringing his incredibly detailed and imaginative paintings to the Copro Gallery this weekend. “Muscle Memories” will be opening at the Santa Monica gallery on Saturday night, August 7th, alongside the Naoto Hattori’s show. What an awesome and appropriate pairing these two artists will be, as their work both stretch the viewer’s brain to the limit with their clustered imagery and bizarre vision. If there was a fine line between insanity […]

Preview: Matt Furie – “Animal Style” @ GRNY

Posted by AM Editor, August 6, 2010

Tomorrow night, Giant Robot New York will host the opening reception for “Animal Style,” featuring the work of San Francisco-based outsider artist Matt Furie. Furie uses ink and color pencil to create a funny and bizarre universe of intricately drawn comic characters heavily steeped in 80’s pop culture (e.g., BMX bikes, Rubix Cubes, The Neverending Story). According to GRNY, the show will feature more than 70 pieces of art, most of which will be “small and affordable.” See a few more preview images, after the […]

Master of trippy visuals, Naoto Hattori, will be bringing his mind-bending imagery to Santa Monica this weekend for his latest solo show at Copro Gallery. Entitled “Super Bionics”, the show will be sure to feature his signature mutated animal hybrids, his hauntingly grotesque women, and paintings that celebrate the beauty of psychedelia. Also on display, in large scale, will be Hattori’s amazing attention to detail as all can attest who have seen his mini-paintings before. More preview pics after the jump…
