Teasers: KAWS – “FOCUS:KAWS” @ Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth

Posted by lowpro, October 17, 2011

In the wake of Hold the Line last month in Los Angeles, KAWS will upgrade his relentless work ethic to the museum level over the ensuing year. We first saw the Brooklyn-based artist make his museum solo debut last summer at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Connecticut. Then, with a host of museum group exhibitions already under his belt, Jeffrey Deitch selected him for their record setting exhibition Art in the Streets this past spring at MOCA. Now, the surging contemporary artist will have […]

Previews: TrustoCorp – “Life Cycle” @ Opera Gallery (New York)

Posted by lowpro, October 17, 2011

After a productive summer that saw a range of compelling street art interventions, including the Drive Thru Liposuction Station, faux tabloid magazines, mock reality TV ad disruptions, Hollywood Walk of Shame, as well as a series of their signature simulated signage, TrustoCorp will again move their work indoors for a followup New York gallery show to last year’s successful debut exhibition, An Overt Display of Mischief and Mayhem. Opening Thursday, October 20th, the Brooklyn-based collective will this time target the walls of Opera Gallery with their […]

Teaser: Slinkachu – “The Big City” @ Kunstverein Ludwigsburg

Posted by sleepboy, October 16, 2011

The last time miniature street photographer Slinkachu had a solo, it was March in London and AM was there to witness it in person. Near the end of this month, October 23rd, the UK-based street artist will be taking what he affectionately calls his “little people” to Ludwigsburg for his first solo ever in Germany at Kunstverein Ludwigsburg. Entitled The Big City, which is actually EVERY city for his tiny sculpts when you think about it, the show will consist of a combination of past work and installations as […]

Teaser: Travis Louie @ Merry Karnowsky Gallery

Posted by sleepboy, October 14, 2011

It’s always nice to visit with Travis Louie (featured) and his surreal yet vintage photo-like paintings, so meeting him at Baby Tattooville last weekend was again a pleasure. We would also like to tell you about one of his upcoming shows for fans in Los Angeles at the Merry Karnowsky Gallery in November. It also looks like (from the sneak peek above) some of the new body of work will see him continuing the theme of painting portraits of people and their pets (see Roq […]

Teaser: Andy Kehoe – “Arise, Feral Night” @ Roq La Rue

Posted by sleepboy, October 11, 2011

We were browsing the always excellent Erratic Phenomena recently and came across this painting from Andy Kehoe where one of his creatures gaze out into the cosmos. If this painting and the title of the show, Arise, Feral Night, is any indication, then darkness has indeed fallen over the autumnal world of the Pittsburgh-based painter. The show opens October 14th at Roq La Rue. Discuss this show here. Discuss Andy Kehoe here.

Frieze ’11 – Mark Ryden @ Paul Kasmin Gallery

Posted by lowpro, October 9, 2011

After recently bringing you preview coverage of what Team Gallery has in store for next weekend’s Frieze Art Fair, we now have a (USDA) prime sample of what Paul Kasmin Gallery will be serving up at the London event. Much like the single awe-striking painting brought abroad last year, Mark Ryden has yet again proven his idiosyncratic genius with this newest creation. Marrying his affinity for Honest Abe and his love for painting meat comes The Meat Shop. The two recurring protagonists – the complicated […]

Teaser: Ron English – “Seasons in Supurbia” & “English 101” @ Corey Helford & Post No Bills

Posted by sleepboy, September 30, 2011

This November, gifted painter Ron English (featured) will be bringing a new body of work to the Corey Helford Gallery. Entitled Seasons in Supurbia, the NY-based artist will be certain to bring his brand of witty and pop-influenced aesthetic for the fans in the greater LA area to enjoy. For those in the area, if you missed his show (covered) last year in Orange County, here’s your chance to see his incredibly detailed works in person. And for those who can’t wait, the prolific artist […]

Videos / Teaser: Lazarides Minotaur Event @ The Old Vic Tunnels

Posted by sleepboy, September 26, 2011

Perhaps influenced by the pop-up restaurant The Tree House (see video above) in Frankfurt for which he presumably curated the artwork for, Lazarides will be bringing the PRET A DINER concept in for his newest project in London. During Frieze and the London Restaurant Festival, from October 10 – 25, the gallery will be organizing a show and pop-up fine dining experience in The Old Vic Tunnels, site of 2010’s Hell’s Half Acre exhibition. Preparing the food will be top Michelin-starred chefs Nuno Mendes (Viajante, London), […]

Posted by sleepboy, September 24, 2011

The last time we featured Marco Mazzoni, he was getting ready for his show in his home city of Milan at the Arsprima Gallery. Fans of the Italian painter will be happy to hear that his next solo is coming up in a couple months, this time in Copenhagen at Gallery B15. Included in the new body of work entitled XTSY will be some his nature-infused portraiture as well as some paintings that take a new direction. A couple more images after the jump…
