Seen: Anthony Lister and Craola @ Fifty24SF

Just this past Thursday I headed down to San Francisco to check out the new shows from Craola and Anthony Lister at the Fifty24 Gallery. It was raining a bit but as we pulled up the rain stopped and we got there just before the crowds did. Anthony’s show was in the upstairs gallery, and after taking photos of the show I was able to talk to him about his work at his studio space around the corner. He had some new works on the walls (seen in pic) and was very easy to talk to. You can tell he loves what he does. I met up with him for another pic later on at the show.

Craola’s show “Seeing Things” was in the downstairs area, and got packed super fast. He was also signing books and toys, as well as doing sketches for people. This made it hard at first to see, or even take photos of the show, but it calmed down. The new works were amazing and I was able to talk to Craola for a bit as well. He’s a super nice guy. His attitude honestly makes you love his art even more, not like it needed any help. I got a sketch from him in my little book and walked away happy I made the trip to see these shows.

I did a writeup for the show you can read on SFWeekly.com
And I have the rest of the show pics up on the Creep’s Flickr

Joe Vaux and Dan May @ Copro Nason Gallery

Copro Nason just opened two shows this weekend, “Manimal” by Joe Vaux and “Slow Collision” by Dan May. All the works are online to view and both shows look amazing. I really like the new works on Dan May, the colors in these paintings are so bright and vibrant. Nathan Spoor also interviewed Dan for this show over on Hi-Fructose.com.

Craola and Anthony Lister at Fifty24SF

Opening up at the Fifty24 Gallery in San Francisco is “Seeing Things” by Greg “Craola” Simkins in the lower level and “Magic Tricks” by Anthony Lister upstairs. The reception is from 7-9pm, but I imagine the place will get pretty packed. It’s not the biggest gallery to begin with. There will also be a print from Craola available at the show. “The Lost Thought” (as seen on the flyer) is 16″ x 20″ giclee on canvas, signed and numbered in an edition of 30.

I’ll be at the show taking pics and doing another writeup for SFWeekly. I’ll pictures of the show and a rundown during the weekend.

Brandt Peters “Cackle Factory” Solo Show

Brandt Peters solo show at the Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles is now online to view. Of course the work is all amazing, but what I like the most os the variety he has there. So not only is there paintings and drawings, but a whole mess of sculptures and paintings on found objects. There is also four prints available from the show, shown is “Faithful” a collaboration piece with Kathie Olivas. The gallery is only selling 10 of the edition of 20 on each so I imagine the rest will be at Circus Posterus soon.

Head on over and check the show out: Brandt Peters Cackle Factory

Preview: “World on Fire” Grammy Art Show

In honor of the Grammy’s, Feb 2nd through the 8th, Shooting Gallery along with Kris Lewis and help from Will.I.Am bring a group show entitled “World on Fire”. The show features portraits of big name music stars painted by 20-25 of some of the best artists in the “Lowbrow” scene. The works and prints that re sold at the show will help to benefit the Pea Pod Foundation. A few sites have talked about this show, and Arrested Motion just posted a preview of some of the works that will be on view, and from what I have seen so far this show is going to not only help out a great foundation but bring the fans some killer artwork.

The show will feature portraits from: Lori Earley (Madonna), Paul Chatem (Rick Rubin), Kris Lewis (Beck), Travis Louie (Trent Reznor, NIN), Shawn Barber (Angus Young, AC/DC), Natalia Fabia (Pink), and it is also said we will see Jeremy Lipking painting Snoop Dogg, Ron English (Metallica), Van Arno (BB King), Shepard Fairey (Paul McCartney) and many more.

Preview: Tara Mcpherson, Jim Houser & Doze Green @ Choque Cultural

Coming this January 17th at the Choque Cultural Gallery in Sao Paulo, Brazil, is a group show featuring new works by Doze Green, Jim Houser and Tara McPherson.
The images for Doze Green and Tara Mcpherson are up on the site, nothing from Jim Houser yet. I really like the new from Tara, thee are no prices on the site as of yet. I do hope some prints are made from a few of these, like “From the Abyss” (1st below) would make a killer print for those of us unable to score the original.

Photos: Family First and Van Arno

This past weekend I headed over to San Francisco to check out the latest solo show of Van Arno at Shooting Gallery, as well as the “Family First” group show right next door at White Walls. I rented car this time as to avoid the two hour bus ride for once, and be able to move around the city easier. It wasn’t as cold as I thought it would be there, it must just be where I live that gets unbearably cold.

The Van Arno show was excellent, securing me as a fan from here on out. The Family First show which featured works by Shepard Fairey, Ian Francis, Mike Giant, Sylvia Ji, Adam Flores and more, was also a blast. It was great to finally see paintings by Ian Francis and Shawn Barber in person, both of which are even more amazing in person. I took so many pictures of the works just to be able to look back at all the small details in painting held.

You can see all the pics here: Creep on Flickr
Read the writeup I did for both shows: SFWeekly.com
The photos I have taken of this show have also ended up on Dailydujour.com and ArrestedMotion.com Thanks!
