Openings: “Three-Handed” & “Smother Your Mother” @ Jonathan Levine Gallery

Posted by juggernut3, April 16, 2010

This past weekend, AM caught the opening of the Date Farmers, Eric White (interviewed), Nicola Verlato and Fulvio Di Piazza at Jonathan Levine Gallery. The two shows were unique as it touched on both ends of the spectrum in terms of dimensions with all the way from large scale museum size works to a cornucopia of medium to smaller size pieces. First, we saw the immense paintings from “Three Handed” which featured Eric White, Nicola Verlato and Fulvio Di Piazza. Eric’s breathtaking piece “Massacre of the […]

Openings: Jeff Gillette – “Dismayland” @ Copro Gallery

Posted by sleepboy, April 15, 2010

Last Saturday night marked the opening of Jeff Gillette’s solo at Copro Gallery, “Dismayland”. If you made the obvious connection between the name he chose for the show and the happiest place on earth, then you would be right. The imagery the Orange County-based artist features in this new body of work includes Snow White, Cinderella, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and other Disney characters scattered in what looks to be the slums of some third world country or perhaps some post-apocalyptic alternate universe leading to […]

Showing: Damien Hirst – “Cornucopia @ Oceanographic Museum of Monaco

Posted by sleepboy, April 13, 2010

Is it just us or is it a little ironic that Damien Hirst is showing at the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco, especially since included is one of his famous formaldehyde shark tanks (although this current specimen, a great white was apparently already dead, unlike the tiger shark that rocketed him to fame in 1992)? As we first told you about here, Hirst’s show, which will run through September, is a retrospective of his most famous pieces including spin paintings, skulls, and formaldehyde pieces, but none […]

Opus Art in Newcastle opens the second of it’s “Fresh Cream” group shows this Thursday, and we can share with you an image from each of the exciting group of young artists involved.

Other artists showing in “Fresh Cream […]
