Michael Hussar has just released an original drawing entitled “KvD”. This original drawing is mixed media on paper, and framed by the artist. The size is stated at 16″ x 13″, so if it is the frame that is 16″ x 13″, then that puts the drawing at roughly 9″ x 6″. Its an amazing drawing, I love these little charcoal and mixed media pieces he has been doing lately and this one by far is my favorite. I like the fractured look the face has, and the triple eye on the right side. The drawing is current up for auction, and like all of his prints and originals, there will be a battle to get it.

Opening this Friday, July 2nd at the White Rabbit Lounge in New York, Anagnorisis Fine Arts presents a solo exhibition entitled “Angelic Possession” featuring new works by Buddy Nestor. During opening night only there will be live painting by Katie Perdue and Scott Cranmer, as well as some new video work by Josh Graham (Storm of Light & Neurosis). I was able to see Buddy Nestor’s work up close before Eclectix Gallery closed, and it looks amazing. I really love what he does with the distortion in these portraits. The paint is handled beautifully, and each portrait is an exciting example of how polished Buddy’s style is. Take a look at these few preview images, and if you can’t stop by the White Rabbit Lounge in person, make sure to check out the full show at the link provided.

One of the the things I know many artists were excited about when the Ipad was announced, was the ability to use the device as a sketching/painting device. It would be nice and easy to just bring that thing around and quickly put down some ideas. David Kassan has a video that shows how powerful this tool can really be. Using a new app called “Brushes”, Kassan paints a 3 hour portrait and shows that in the right hands the Ipad can help artists create beautiful works of art, and play games and check your e-mail. Take a look at the video below. Makes me want to get an Ipad now, and be able to paint as well as Kassan can.
Fine Grime UK has just released two new prints from Tom Bagshaw, “Kuchisake Onna” and “Hito Dama”. Both pieces were in Tom’s latest solo show “Yokai Dreams” that took place at the Knifesmith Gallery this past May. Both prints are roughly 16″ x 22″, signed and numbered in editions of 50. I have always loved the feel that Tom gets with his paintings, and these two are amazing examples of that.

Just this past weekend, June 26th, Jeff Soto’s latest solo show “Lifecycle” and Dave Cooper’s show “Mangle” opened up at the Jonathan Levine Gallery in New York. Jeff’s work is now a little bit more detailed and intense this round. His last solo show was “The Inland Empire” at Stolenspace, and while that was a great show the work in “Lifecycle” seems a little bit more jarring, and more richly conveys the fear and environmental issues his work often holds. Much of the icons were are used to seeing in Soto’s paintings are here, but some new ones have entered and others have been re-imagined.
Next door in Gallery II is Dave Cooper’s “Mangle”, featuring “new drawings and paintings of twisted ladies”. The color palette is a darker than his latest works have been, and the feel of Dave’s work is a nice compliment to Soto’s. I would like to see the two shows in person, but I can imagine that the feel the patrons had was pretty intense.
Check out the preview images, and then the full show. Jonathan Levine Gallery
