Opening this Saturday Night, January 9th at the Last Rites Gallery in New York is the second installment of the Dark Pop group show. The shows will feature artists that don’t necessarily always create dark art but will do so for this show. Some of the artists are mainly “dark” in all of their works, so it should be a good mix of ideas. The artists that will be participating are: Esao Andrews, John Cebollero (Interviewed), Joshua Clay, Molly Crabapple, Amy Crehore, Yoko d’Holbachie, Leslie Ditto, Eric Fortune, GAIA, Stella Im Hultberg, Sarah Joncas (Interviewed), Danni Shinya Luo, David MacDowell, Mike Maxwell, Tara McPherson, Michael Page, Leslie Reppeteaux, Mijn Schatje and more.
Take a look at the preview pics and then make sure you keep on eye on the site for the full show.

A Paper Tiger has added two new prints to the online shop. “Haunted #20″ from Brazilian artist Joao Ruas, and “A Place That I Remember” by Eric Fortune. Both of these new prints are based on original work that is currently a part of the “Go East” exhibition from Lebasse Projects, both originals have sold so if you are as hooked on these two pieces as I am, these prints are very welcomed.
Each print is roughly 12″ x 16″, signed and numbered in editions of only 25 for $100 a pop. I don’t imagine these prints to stick around very long, they are both beautiful images from two very exciting artists.

For a three day only exhibition, November 5-7th, Lebasse Projects will take the artists that are the heart of the gallery and bring them to the east coast. This marks the first in what will hopefully be many global exhibitions, giving everyone a chance to see work from artist such as Yoskay Yamamoto, Tessar Lo, Edwin Ushiro, Joao Ruas, Eric Fortune, Mia, and Nate Frizzell.
I have always felt that the best way to view art is in person. It is quite hard when the gallery is across the country or in another country for that matter, so this show will be a great opportunity for the fans in New York to check out these amazing works of art. For those of us that are still stuck checking out the work online, here is a small preview and a link to the full one.

Gallery Nucleus has added a new print to the online shop, this one by the amazing Eric Fortune. The print comes from the painting “A Want to Believe” shown at Copro Nason Gallery last December. It is also one of the first paintings I saw by Eric that really switched me on to his work. The print is 14.75″ x 20.75″ (roughly the same size as original) on watercolor paper, signed and numbered in an edition of 30 for $125.

Opening this Friday, July 24th at Roq la Rue is two solo shows, ” Beauties and Beasts” by Nicoletta Ceccoli and ” Daughters of Our Nature” by Eric Fortune. Both of these artists are amazing and being able to see their work, side by side in the same gallery is making me wish I lived in Seattle. The show is pretty much all sold out, which is not surprising. Both artists have a very dreamy quality to their work, are masters of their mediums and continue to put out high quality art with no sign of stopping.
I like the fact that both Eric and Nicoletta also use acrylic on paper, with Nicoletta adding graphite to the mix. It just shows that in the right hands, acrylic also has the ability to create works of art that have a glow to them often associated with other mediums.

The folks over at “The Art Collectors” have just posted a new interview with the amazing Eric Fortune. He has quickly become one of my favorite artists. The interview gives a good idea of what inspires him, as well a look into his working process. This is one artist to watch out for, his show at Lebasse Projects is almost sold out. I imagine this will be common when it comes to paintings from Eric.
