Update: Audrey Kawasaki

Perhaps inspired by her recent trip to Japan for the opening of her show at Space Yui, we hear that Audrey Kawasaki (interviewed) will be including some Japanese-themed paintings in her latest body of work.  One of our most anticipated show is her NY solo at Jonathan Levine this December, so we thought we would share some in progress images that she has leaked so far.

New Artist Focus: Tristram Lansdowne

The upcoming summer group show (teased/previewed) at Joshua Liner Gallery is packed with heavyweight artists with whom frequent AM readers will already be familiar, such as Dave Kinsey, Joe Sorren and Greg Simkins (interviewed). However, the show will likely be many people’s introduction to several up-and-coming young artists. One of those whom we are particularly interested in is Canadian painter Tristram Lansdowne.

Fame Festival: Blu and David Ellis (Part II)

We told you at the beginning of the week that Blu and David Ellis were hard at work on their newest animated video in Grottaglie as part of their participation in FAME Fest (coverage here.) Additional images of the pair’s work have just been released. We mentioned previously that we were looking forward to the result of their partnership; these pictures certainly indicate that it is going to be something very, very special.

Camille Rose Garcia x “Alice in Wonderland” Book

We thought we would share some images of an illustrated “Alice in Wonderland” book that Camille Rose Garcia is working on with Harper/Collins. We can’t wait to see the signature twists she introduces into this project – who wants to see her Mad Hatter, raise your hand! She must be busy at the moment as she’s also prepping for her solo at Merry Karnowsky (teased) come September. Look for more opportunities to meet Camille as there should be an associated signing tour tentatively scheduled around […]
