Openings: Dave Cooper – “Mangle” @ Jonathan Levine Gallery

Posted by juggernut3, July 2, 2010

Last Saturday night, Dave Cooper opened his solo alongside Jeff Soto in NY at Jonathan LeVine’s Gallery in Chelsea. As usual, Cooper produced a fascinating body of work that would interest any BBW lover with lush and strangely compelling paintings of billowy and fleshy women frolicking in and out of disturbing scenarios. The subjects appear to be contortionists as well to the highest degree, populating a vast world filled with vaguely sensual and uncomfortable scenarios. Perhaps the subject matter is best explained in the artists […]

The British artist and porn recycler will be bringing with him a new body of work consisting of portraits created with his “special” mix media technique – pretty appropriate for Tiger Woods don’t you think? Take a closer NSFW look at the collage details of a Sarah Palin […]

Basel Week Switzerland ’10: Scope Fair

Posted by AM Editor, July 1, 2010

Part of the fun of going to the big art fairs like Art Basel is also going to all the satellite fairs, and one of our favorites is always Scope. Like in Miami and NYC, Scope Basel gave us a chance to see emerging and mid-career artists that are generally not represented at the main fair. Check out our images from Scope Basel, after the jump.

Contest: Dan May – “Echoes of Existence” Print

Posted by sleepboy, July 1, 2010

A show definitely worth checking out that is currently showing at Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles is Dan May’s (interviewed) new body of work – “Into the Wild”. We last saw his incredibly detailed paintings of gentle creatures and humanoids at the Rotofugi Gallery several months ago. Dan has kindly sent over an AP print of his “Echoes of Existence” painting to give away to one of our lucky readers. Just leave a comment guessing how many hours it took to complete the actual painting […]

Streets: Faile

Posted by sleepboy, June 30, 2010

It looks like Faile (featured) has been getting back to their roots and getting up around New York after finishing their latest project – moving the Faile/Bast Deluxx Fluxx Arcade to the Big Apple (covered). By the way, if you haven’t had a chance to play with the custom arcade games designed by the artists as part of that epic install, check out this video footage from Dante Ross. For a closer look the the gender bending piece above, look after the jump, but for […]

This Friday, July 2nd, sees Emma Tooth’s debut museum showing open at Derby Museum and Art Gallery in an artistic showdown 250 years in the making!.
