Edith Lebeau currently has a new series of works on view at the Trifecta Gallery for their “minUMENTAL invitational 2011″. Each of the paintings below I imagine is no larger than 8″ x 8″, acrylic on wood panel. I love the idea that Edith created some smaller paintings, something that fans of smaller art can collect. I also like how the color palette is very congruous, and the position of each the figures also helps to make this a very strong series. I hope we see more tiny series like this from Edith in the future. Head on over to the gallery to check out the full show, and if you are interested in one of the paintings Edith created, message the gallery.
This Black Friday support small businesses and artists
Black Friday is here again, and along with the great savings comes sitting overnight in the cold, dealing with a crazy mob of people, and possibly getting pepper sprayed because you took the last xbox 360 (source). So avoid the mayhem, and support your local, small businesses and better yet artists. Many of your favorite artists are having black friday/holiday sales. This is a great opportunity to not only score some art, prints, shirt, and more, but you also know you are helping out a person and not some mega-corporation.

Review: “Spirit Board” Group Show @ Articulated Gallery
On November 5th the Articulated Gallery in San Francisco opened the Spirit Board group show, curated by JL Schnabel. The show features a wide variety of artists all taking inspiration from the Ouija Board. Back in 20o8 Copro Gallery hosted Chet Zar’s “Taking Board” show and like many shows in Southern California, I wasn’t able to see the show in person. However, I do feel that the Ouija Board itself merits a few shows dedicated to it, so I was very happy to hear that Articulated would be hosting this show. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to make the reception night; I heard that many artists were in attendance and it was quite a night. I did stop by he next day so I could see the show, and took some photos and made another video walkthrough.

“I Want My Music Video Art Show” @ Meltdown Gallery
Opening tonight, October 7th, at the Meltdown Gallery in Los Angeles is a massive group show, over 100 artists, all taking inspiration from music videos for the first “I Want My Music Video Art Show” curated by Chris Marrs Piliero and Dave MacDowell. Artists such as Sarah Joncas, Aaron Jasinksi, Aunia Kahn, Apricot Mantle, Chet Zar, Dan Harding, Dan Quintana, Edith Lebeau, Jason D’Aquino, John Cebollero, Kelly Vivano, Larkin, Kolaboy, Nate Van Dyke, N.C. Winters, Paul Chatem, Scott G Brooks, Scott C, and many more have created art based on their favorite music videos. Oh, and yours truly also has a piece of art in this show (thanks to Dave for talking me into it). The reception starts at 8 PM and I have heard that a good majority of the artists will be there, so if you stop by make sure to say hi to the artists that made this show a must see. The exhibition will run until October 20th, so if you can’t make the reception you have a little bit of time to see the show.
I am very honored to be a part of this show, there is so many amazing artists. To be honest I was a little too nervous in the beginning and thought about not entering. I will stay with my original goal of this site and not show my work here, however I am proud of the piece and hope the viewers of the show enjoy it. Take a look the preview images of the show, and then check out the site below for some more images and video links.

New originals by Edith Lebeau
Edith Lebeau has opened up a new online shop and has some original drawings, and paintings available. The drawings she has available right now are 4″ x 6″ on watercolor paper, and are the sketches she creates to get new ideas for paintings. Head on over and check out the new shop.
Preview: “Macrocosm” @ Distinction Art
Coming this Saturday to Distinction Art in Escondido, CA is a duo show entitled “Macrocosm” with new works from Casey Weldon and Edith Lebeau. Each artist created some amazing looking paintings, and I was happy to see that they collaborated on a painting as well. The two styles these artists posses fit very well with each other, this is seen quite easily in the collaborative work and even the way the show flows from Weldon’s slightly muted palette to Edith’s more candy colored one.
“The Mad Potters Tea Party” @ Strychnin gallery
This past Friday, February 4th, Strychnin Gallery opened of the more unique shows I have seen in a while. “The Mad Potters Tea Party” features custom designed ceramics from over 100 international artists. Limited edition plates, teapots, vases, teacups and saucers created by artists such as Chris Mars, Ray Caesar, KRK Ryden, Caitlin Hackett, David Stein, Seymour, David Stoupakis, Camilla d’Errico, Kristen Ferrell, Bethany Marchman, Jason Jacenko, David Hochbaum, Saturno Buttò, Martina Secondo Russo, Ver Mar, Scott Holloway, Edith Lebeau, Brian Horton, and many more. I thought it was a great idea when some limited edition cups and saucers were released by UK’s This is Limited Edition, and most of these sets of long since sold out. The ceramics seen here at Strychnin are far more limited and unique. Chris Mars for example has created some round, plate style paintings before (featured), however I was really surprised to see how amazing his works looks on a Durham vase and Teapot. Make sure you check out this show after you look at the preview images.
New originals by Edith Lebeau
Edith Lebeau has added some original paintings to her Etsy shop. Two of the works are from 2008, and the most recent one “Mombi’s key” (shown second) was made for a show entitled “Glass cinder and Thorns” in Royak Oak, MI. The painting was inspired by the movie “Return to Oz”. All of Edith’s work are with acrylic paint, even though the rendering looks very similar to what others do with oils.
Check out the works here: Edit Lebeau @ Etsy
