Previews: ‘Unnatural Histories II’ @ Antler Gallery

Posted by sven, September 24, 2013

Here’s a show that a few people are looking forward to. Unnatural Histories II is the follow up to last year’s group exhibition at Portland’s Antler Gallery. Opening on 26th September, the exhibition calls for each participating artist to create a natural history inspired portrait of a mythical creature. The subject can either be taken from existing mythologies/folklore or completely invented by the artist. Each of the artworks will be accompanied by a framed description of the creature as written by the artist. Below is an example […]

Previews: Stephanie Buer – ‘Inhabitants’ @ Hellion Gallery

Posted by sven, September 23, 2013

Opening next month at Hellion Gallery is Inhabitants – a two person show featuring the work of Portland based artists JShea & Stephanie Buer. We’ve been following Stephanie Buer’s work since we first came across it a couple of years ago. Her depictions of abandoned buildings and graffiti strewn environments are exquisitely captured in both her graphite and oil work. Neglected spaces are reclaimed by nature through dereliction and by the hand of humans through vandalism, and the majority of Stephanie’s subject matter comes from her previous residency in Detroit, […]

Previews: Moneyless ‘ALEA IACTA EST’ @ 999 Contemporary, Rome

Posted by sven, September 21, 2013

Italian artist Moneyless aka Teo Pirisi opens his first solo exhibition of 2013 on home turf at Rome’s 999 Contemporary Gallery. Entitled ALEA IACTA EST, the translation for those non-fluent in Latin is ‘The Die Has Been Cast’. A bold statement, but Moneyless’ art provides affirmation of his voice within the contemporary art scene. The fluidity of his work is wonderful, and a joy to view up close and personal. Spirographic patterns blend colour and form on beautifully crafted wooden panels. Delicate ink and acrylic washes reveal […]

Previews: “Neu Folk Revival” @ LeQuiVive Gallery

Posted by sven, September 19, 2013

Oakland based artist Max Kauffman has teamed up with LeQuiVive Gallery to put together a huge group exhibition entitled Neu Folk Revival. Here Kauffman acts as participant artist and also curator of the exhibition, which places its emphasis on the handmade, and traditional art making practices and covers a broad range of artists considered to be working within the realms of folk art – be they artists, illustrators or graffiti artists. Folk art carries an interesting aesthetic, and is something that is hard to describe or categorise, […]

Previews: St. Monci – ‘Adventures in Technicolor’ @ 1975 Gallery

Posted by sven, September 6, 2013

St. Monci is an artist that has been catching our eye lately. From his delicately composed gallery work to his large scale murals, his clean line-work and use of colour presents a strong abstract aesthetic. This weekend, he opens his solo exhibition at Rochester, NY’s 1975 Gallery. Adventures in Technicolor opens on Saturday, 7th September, and from the looks of these installation shots taken by photographer Hannah Betts it would be well worth checking out in person if you are in the area.

New World Disorder will feature a series of all-new work, with an emphasis on consumer and social issues, from the pop culture jammer. Our friend Ian Cox visited D’s studio recently and caught the artist in the final throes of preparation of work for the show. The exhibition looks like a strong body of work and further development of some of the themes and items that we’ve seen him using recently, such […]
