Each one has been hand embellished by the artist, so no two are alike. The edition is available now on Virtu’s website, and AM has one of these beautiful prints to give away. Read on for some pictures of Brandi applying the finishing to the prints as […]

Openings: Josh Keyes – “Fragment” @ Jonathan LeVine

Posted by AM Editor, January 17, 2010

AM was in Chelsea last night for the latest much-anticipated solo show by Josh Keyes (interviewed), entitled “Fragment,” at Jonathan LeVine Gallery. As expected, the large crowd was blown away by Keyes’ newest series of realistic-stylized portrayals of animals battling for survival against a hostile environment. And for the first time in a long time, Keyes included a human (non-statue) figure in one of his works – a portrait of himself presumably in a post-apocalyptic world – which takes a more direct approach in his […]

Contest: Camille Rose Garcia – “Lil Elorphant” Print Giveaway

Posted by sleepboy, December 14, 2009

You may remember an article in June where we let you know about a cool little project Camille Rose Garcia and Kirsten from Roq La Rue were working on. Seen above is the “Lil Elorphant” print (still available here), made from a painting CRG did specifically to benefit The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust – a charity established in memory of David Sheldrick, famous naturalist and founder Warden of Kenya’s giant Tsavo East National Park in which he served from 1948 until 1976. Kirsten has graciously […]

Off The Roll Tape Sculpture Contest

Posted by sleepboy, November 23, 2009

AM has long admired the work of Mark Jenkins, and in particular, his tape sculptures. Apparently 3M (maker of Scotch brand tape) has also taken notice and will hold a contest to see who can come up with the most creative use of the popular adhesive with a $5000 cash prize no less. Submissions will be judged by a panel of artists including Jenkins. The deadline is February 28, 2010 so time to get tapin’ (tutorial). Other examples of Jenkins’ work after the jump as well […]

Openings: Stella Im Hultberg – “Penumbra” @ Copro Gallery

Posted by sleepboy, November 12, 2009

Last weekend, after a nice Izakaya dinner with the artists, the AM crew headed over to Copro Gallery for the three person show (Stella Im Hultberg, Amy Sol, and Nicoletta Ceccoli). Stella flew all the way from New York to attend the show and brought with her a new darker and more brooding body of work. The paintings were all on paper including a couple larger ones we especially liked with a darkened backdrop and hidden faces. Often times, an artist’s work is influenced by […]

Dr. Sketchy Anti-Art School with Tara McPherson

Posted by juggernut3, October 29, 2009

We can’t seem to get enough of Tara McPherson and Molly Crabapple since drawing along side them at Baby Tattooville in the Riverside Art Museum (covered). So, AM decided to stop by and get in a little schooling with a special edition of NYC’s Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School featuring none other than our friend Tara McPherson.Â For this special session a “life drawing” model was transformed into a beautiful & seductive “Lonely Heart” siren. More after the jump.

Openings: Nate Frizzell – “Lost in the Thicket” @ LeBasse Projects

Posted by sleepboy, October 18, 2009

“Lost in the Thicket” opened last night in Culver City and AM was on hand at LeBasse Projects to take inÂ Nate Frizzell’s solo show. Our first impression of this new body of work (during an earlier studio visit) was one of appreciation at the increasing maturity in this young artist’s talent. Seeing the paintings in the gallery setting definitely fortified our opinion, especially after seeing how all the work played off each other and the installation (a tree branch from Nate’s parents’ backyard fashioned to […]
