Luke Chueh, solo show and exclusive new prints

September 24, 2007

LukeChueh_BatBear.jpgTuesday night at the Gallery 1988, the second installment of Luke Chueh’s solo show “Paintings of Hope and Hopelessness” will open at 7pm-10.

A new print will be released entitled “Gero Hero or Bat Bear” (shown left). This print is an edition of 100, signed and numbered for $100. According to Luke’s website, this piece was supposed to be a part of a show that never happened. Good thing we get a chance to snag the print.

lukeChueh_inspiration.jpgThe Creep Machine has exclusive info of a “Special” print that will also be released at the show.
The piece is “Inspiration (Bright Ideas From The Hole In My Soul)” (shown right), you might notice that this is the image used for the show flyer on the Gallery 1988 homepage. It’s a very slick piece, and the print will be limited to only 50. This one will ONLY be available at the show, and guaranteed it will go fast.

So, this a great opportunity to head on over, check out an excellent gallery and the second phase of Luke’s solo show. If your lucky you might just snag one of those prints.

David Hochbaum @ Corey Helford Gallery, Sept 15th

September 14, 2007


David Hochbaum, a seriously cool mixed media artist will have a solo show at the Corey Helford Gallery in Culver City this Saturday, September 15th. This new show will “feature a sculpture installation created from hundreds of ladders and faux birds, completing the theme of nomadic displacement.” Sounds great, I can’t wait to see the new works.

I recently got into this artist and have really been drawn in by his style, two of my favorite forms of art, photography and painting, and he mixes them so well. I would really love to know how he gets the photos to set into the paint and mix in so seamlessly. I’ve seen mixed media before where the photo looks clearly “slapped” in, whereas his looks like it supposed to be there. Yet again, more work I need to see in person.

Roq La Rue: Sol, Hultberg & Badrak

September 7, 2007


Opening tonight at the Roq La Rue Gallery in Seattle, Amy Sol, Stella Im Hultberg & Oksana Badrak are having a very sweet show.
It looks like many of the works have been bought up already, but if your close by you can still see them in person.

I really like the new work coming from Stella Im Hultberg, the new work clearly retains her style but you can see the images getting deeper, contrast and even textures. Much like the piece that she did for the Crazy4Cult show, “The Big Tourist”. I love that piece, I really hope they make this one into a print.

Anyway, the Roq La Rue page has the pics of the event up so that you can see the peices:

Jeff Soto Solo show Sept. 8th.

September 7, 2007


Jeff Soto has a solo show called “Storm Clouds” at the Jonathan Levine Gallery. The show opens September 8th and ends October 6th.

I love Jeff Soto’s style, his style is very unique and the colors he uses really pop out at you.
I really like that he adds a bit of nature imagery with each piece, you don’t see much of that right now. I think the thing that I dig the most is how his style is consistent, but in no way repetitive. I still enjoy looking at new works, it’s like he has themes to his work and that make the new pieces more interesting. He is one of the few artists that I would really love to own an original work from, but for now prints will have to do.

Here is Jeff’s site and the gallery:
