Posted by sleepboy, June 29, 2013

You may remember our recent article detailing Jeff Koons’ latest exhibition at the Gagosian in New York and despaired at the the thought of ever owning something from him. Now, love him or hate him, fans of the contemporary art giant’s sculptural works have a (relatively speaking) more affordable chance to own an editioned version of his Balloon Venus, in the form of a packaged collaboration with Dom Pérignon (also see their previous work with Warhol and David Lynch). Although unclear if this will be readily available, the […]

Openings: Victor Castillo – “Under Heavy Measures” @ Merry Karnowsky Gallery

Posted by sleepboy, February 4, 2013

On Saturday night, the Merry Karnowsky Gallery welcomed in Victor Castillo for his new solo show entitled Under Heavy Measures. The new body of work included pieces on paper and canvas, sketches, and some sculptures that look like they came straight out of his paintings including the LA-based artist’s signature red sausage noses (see video). Attendees were treated to vivid and troubled imagery juxtaposing the innocence of children and an illustrative style with dark subject matter fraught with ominous creatures, political overtones, and violence.
