Some really great shows are now online for your viewing pleasure. All shows that are viewable online will go in this new section.

First is Jonathan Weiner’s solo show at the Jonathan Levine Gallery. He is such an amazing painter and his new work is spectacular. All of the works are also massive in size. The one shown is 48″ x 36″. You can also check out a duo show of Esao Andrews and Xiaoqing Ding. I really dig the work of Esao, the contrast and colors are very amazing.

Then at the Copro Nason gallery you can check out Joey Remmers. He was just featured in the new art magazine “Stretching Canvas” that is put out by the same folks that give us International Tattoo Art magazine. It’s an excellent new mag so be sure to pick one up. You can see a taste of Remmers work in the mag and some of the same works at the gallery.

At Gallery 1988 in L.A, the Stan Lee tribute show is up as well. The show features some really great work. Much like the Crazy4Cult and I am 8 Bit shows that 1988 puts on, this one is also filled with a huge variety of art coming from all sorts of artists. My favorite piece of this show has to be the Craola piece.

Finally my favorite show of the bunch is the solo show of Ben Tour. This show is at the Fifty24 Gallery in San Francisco. I was able to check out the show in person and am now even more hooked on his work. The pictures of the work on the site are great, but nothing compared to seeing the art in person. His work is so intense and so detailed that I was shocked. If you love energetic, textural work than look no further than this.

This is a two person show featuring Camilla d’Errico and Sarah Joncas. Sarah was one of the first artists that I interviewed, and I’m very excited about all the great shows she has been having. I should have been a little faster and bought some of her work, I know it would get to the point that her work would sell out at every show I just didn’t think it would happen this fast.

The show opens on January 11th at the Thinkspace Gallery in L.A. The reception is from 7pm until 11pm. If you can head to the show, take some pics and share them with me. I’ll be at home looking at the pics of the show on my pitiful little monitor.

“Sour Hearts & Sweet Tarts”

Tonight at the Fifty24 gallery in San Francisco, Ben Tour’s solo show entitled “Underbelly” opens. The reception is from 7- 9:30pm.

Ben Tour is excellent, his work is always very dynamic and fun to look at. I’m glad this show is so close, it gives me the ability to see his work in person. Looking at art in person is very important. I’ll have a new article about this topic in the next few days.

If your in the area make you you stop by the show. You have till January 31st to see it, but that’s not reason to not see it soon. There may even be prints from the show.
