New work by Arabella Proffer

Arabella Proffer has added some new paintings to her site, and these new ones are not portraits. I have seen some non portrait work from Arabella before, but nothing like this. Each of these new ‘Flower’ paintings are 16″ x 16″ and look amazing. The idea that these are the first of these surreal landscape works, and what would these new styled paintings look like if she keeps going in this direction is very exciting. Take a look at these three, and head on over to her homepage for all her new art.

“Miseryland” Triptych by Dave MacDowell

April 1st at the Compound Gallery in Portland, the group show “Triptych” opened up. Artists such as Jen Lobo, Martin Ontiveros, J Shea, Keegan Onefoot, and Dave MacDowell all made three piece works in a variety of mediums. Dave MacDowell’s “Miseryland” Triptych is completely nuts. There is so much going on in this painting, and the colors are as intense as we have come to expect from his work, and the way he painted in the panel borders was an amazing idea. By painting the three panels on a single canvas, Dave was able to add that background as well as the crazy Mickey looming above, acting as your host to this insane world. Seeing Dave’s work in person before, I know that while this image does show how bright and intense the work is, being in front of the real thing is a must. If your in the area, make sure to stop by and take a look.

Joshua Petker “Between Butterflies” @ Corey Helford Gallery

This past Saturday, April 17th, Joshua Petker opened his latest solo show “Between Butterflies” at the Corey Helford Gallery. The show features 20+ new paintings, many of which are in a square format, so 36″ x 36″ and so on. There was quite a lot of work in this show that I was taken in by, as well as a few paintings that I wasn’t too enamored with. Overall this is a great show, colorful and show the continuation of the style that Joshua Petker has been working on. There are also a few paintings that show a more “watercolor” like application of paint, the effect looks great against the white background each painting features.
Take a look at the preview images, and then head on over to see the full show.
