Opening this Friday, August 13th at the Cave Gallery is “Reveal”, a solo show of new works from John Park. The show features 13 mixed media works, and one limited edition print. John has a very energetic style of painting, and I like that the works focuses on the figure, and his stylized way of portraying the body. One of the works in the show entitled “Leda”, particularly caught my eye. I liked how among the other works, a classic fable such as Leda and the Swan made it into the show. Leda, mother of Helen of Troy, was seduced by Zeus in the guise of a swan.

Paul Chatem’s solo show, “The Death of Bighead” will have it’s closing party this February 26th so if yo haven’t had a chance to see the show make sure you do. The nature of Paul’s art requires that it be seen in person. But the Cave Gallery has made a video for those of us that are’t close enough to see the show but still want to see these amazing works in all their movable glory.

C.A.V.E. gallery – Venice, CA – 02.05.10 – art show from Fabio Cunha on Vimeo.

Opening tonight, February 5th at the Cave Gallery in Venice is the latest solo show from Paul Chatem. “The Death of Big Head” features some more of the amazing “clockwork” inspired works we saw at the Shooting Gallery last year (Featured). Looking at the preview images of the show, the integration of the clockwork elements is seamless with the amazing colors and aging effects that Paul does with his work. These are paintings that are meant to be seen up close, not only to enjoy all of the subtleties that he adds to each piece, but the see the works in motion. I really hope some videos show up soon. Here are a few images from the show, head on over to see the rest. It looks as though most of the show pieces have sold.
