Looks like the site is having some technical issues. I realize images are not showing up at all for some people. I hope to have this fixed by the end of today, sorry for any inconvenience.

This Friday, September 3rd at the La Luz De Jesus Gallery is the latest solo show from Nathan Ota. The reception is from 8-11pm but if you get there an hour earlier, there will be a print release. There are over 20 new paintings, and even some pencil works. Strangeco has also started a pre-order for a new vinyl toy by Ota, entitled “Midnight Crooner” that can be found here: Strangco Pre-order. Take a look at the preview images, and then head over to the galleries site to see the rest of the works.

Coming this Saturday, September 4th, is a new limited edition print by Audrey Kawasaki. This one is not time limited, so your going to have to fight for it if your looking to pick this one up. “Migawari”, which means To give or sacrifice oneself, was first shown at Audrey’s solo show at the Jonathan Levine Gallery this past January. The print is 19″ x 15″ on a 20″ x 16″ sheet of paper, signed and numbered in an edition of 200, and comes with a certificate of authenticity. You can also order the print framed for bit more. The print goes on sale Saturday the 4th at 1pm Pacific time.

Shain Erin has done it again with a new custom made doll. This new one is conjoined triplets, named (left to right): Tanek, Tymon and Tercio and is 10.75″ high. This is part of a new series of works entitled “Exquisite Monsters”, which are inspired by antique wax medical models and specimens representing genetic anomalies, disfigurements and diseases. Of course many of them will be more from imagination such as this one. While there is no real life examples of a disfigurement such as this, there have been paintings that feature the Tricephalous face and even few Romanesque gargoyles. It’s a fascinating subject, one that I have been studying for a while.

Opening this Thursday, September 2nd is the latest solo show by Kent Williams. Entitled “Eklektikos”, this new exhibition will open at Evoke Contemporary in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The reception is from 6-8pm, so if your around the area make sure to get there early to really check out the paintings. The show features a great blend of large scale works, and some studies with mixed media on paper. The style Williams has in drawing he figure shines through in not only his studies, but the final oil paintings as well. I love the energetic, and slightly messy way that the paint is applied. Take a look at the preview images below, and then head on over to Williams homepage and the galleries page for more images.
