Studio Visits: Jesse Hazelip – “Sentimental Journey” @ White Walls

Posted by Ken, January 4, 2010

In 1944, the B17 Bomber “Sentimental Journey” rolled off the Douglas Aircraft Company’s California assembly line. With it’s eight thousand pound payload capacity and thirteen .50 M2 Browning machine guns, the B17 aptly earned it’s nickname, “The Flying Fortress”. The “Sentimental Journey” (whose nose proudly displays a picture of Betty Grable, World War Two’s most famous pin-up girl), the “Celestial Siren,” “South Sea Sinner,” and “Tempest Turner” are all subjects in Oakland artist Jesse Hazelip’s upcoming show at White Walls opening January 9th.

Video: (R)Evolution of Urban Art @ Warrington Museum & Art Gallery

Posted by sleepboy, January 1, 2010

The Warrington Museum & Art Gallery is holding an exhibition until March 13th highlighting some “Urban Art” from artists like Banksy, Blek le Rat, Gavin Turk, Adam Neate (interviewed), David Choe, Faile (featured), Lorraine Robbins, Antony Micallef (interviewed), Ron English (featured), José Parlá, Elbow-Toe (interviewed), Sam Taylor-Wood, Candice Tripp (interviewed), Swoon (interviewed) and Takashi Murakami – um, yes… Murakami. We believe the pieces are part of a private collection that also exhibited at the Stoke-on-Trent Potteries Museum & Art Gallery earlier this year.

Preview: Colin Christian – “Inner Space” @ Opera Gallery (London)

Posted by sleepboy, December 31, 2009

It looks like Colin Christian (whose art was recently featured in Kayne West’s concert) is planning to go big with his upcoming show in London at the Opera Gallery. “Inner Space” will feature Colin’s full-bodied sculptures of luscious girls in what look to be tight latex suits – completely understandable as he used to make latex clothing for fetish stores around the country before he started creating his own art. It also looks like he’ll be going large scale with his signature head sculptures (seen […]

Basel Week Miami ’09 – Kenichi Yokono @ Pulse Miami

Posted by juggernut3, December 31, 2009

We always look forward to the Pulse art fair because it is one of the only opportunities for those outside of Tokyo or Los Angeles to see the stunning carved woodblocks of Japanese artist Kenichi Yokono. This year at Pulse Miami, Yokono’s work was jointly shown by LA’s Mark Moore Gallery and Vienna’s Hilger Contemporary. Along with the new black and red pieces we previewed before the fair, the two galleries showed several works from Yokono’s recent “Dreamy Gaze” series, which featured lovely young ladies […]

Preview: Sas Christian – “Inner Space” @ Opera Gallery (London)

Posted by sleepboy, December 31, 2009

Born in London, Sas Christian returns for her long anticipated show at the Opera Gallery in London opening on February 4th. A talented painter who cites some of her influences as anime, Harajuku kids, Tamara De Lempicka and Mark Ryden, she is one of the more original “girls painting girls” artists that seem so popular these days. Of course, not many of the newer artists can match the powerfully emotive and memorable work of Sas. She will be exhibiting alongside fellow artist and husband Colin […]

Openings: The LOST Underground Art Show @ Gallery 1988 (LA)

Posted by sleepboy, December 29, 2009

AM stopped by earlier this month to check out the “LOST” show at Gallery 1988 (LA) only to be confronted by a long line of fans that lined up overnight as well as a media frenzy that ensued. We did manage to get inside and snap some pics of the artwork eventually for all to enjoy. It was nice to see many of the characters we love remixed and reinterpreted into paintings that were often subtle and well conceived. Take a look after the jump…
