Glenn Arthur has released a new print through Society6. “You Have To Let Go Eventually” comes in either 17″ x 21″ or 22″ x 27″, on ultra smooth 100% cotton rag paper with Epson K3 archival inks. This would be a great looking print to go alongside his “Loving You Splintered Me To The Bone†print I featured a bit back.

Just before the new years I posted about the “Rickshaw” print by James Jean. This print can now be found in his online shop, along with a new print based on a painting. “Hound” is 22″ x 17″ on Ultrasmooth Fine Art Paper, signed and embossed for $87. It’s a very colorful and energetic print, I don’t know if I am feeling it as much as some of his other work, but he is definitely one of those artists that always makes interesting work.

I just got word that Eclectix Gallery in El Cerrito is closing down. This has been a tough time for art and galleries alike. No matter how important we all know art to be, the sales have just not been enough to keep some galleries open. The gallery is having a clearance sale, all the fixtures, furniture and inventory is being sold 50% off. You can see what is being sold Here. Patricia, the owner, also posted a great comment on the site talking about the closing and details. Head on over and take a look, and if you live in the area make sure to stop by the gallery. There just might be something there you like.
It’s a new year and there are some exciting artists lined up for the featured artists section of the site. To kick off the new year, I am very happy to introduce Fred Harper and Adrian Borda. Both artists are skilled oil painters, and have a surreal style that is just a blast to look at. I would like to thank last months featured artists, Jeremy Forson and Glenn Arthur whom are now in the featured artists archive. Fred Harper will also be showing at the Last Rites Gallery this coming February 6th, alongside Nick Baxter. For now head on over to the features and check out work from Fred and Adrian.

Over the weekend I check out a couple of shows in San Francisco, one of which was Kista Huot’s solo show “Nepenthe” at Gallery 1988. I wanted to see the work in person like I always do, andI had a feeling that Krista’s work looked different in person. Her colors are far more vibrant in real life, and you can really get close to see all of the drybrushing found throughout her work. She also varnishes each painting so photos often wash out the painting, and doesn’t show the gloss that is achieved. Krista was there for the reception, so I was able to talk with her a bit about her work, materials and inspirations. I won’t go too into detail as I will have an interview on the site with Krista in the coming weeks. So hit the more link and see more images, and a little bit of what Krista had to say.

Just this Sunday, January 10th Dirty pilot opened “Miseryland” a solo exhibition of works from Dave MacDowell. The show runs until February 10th, so if your in the area make sure to stop by. There is some really amazing new paintings from Dave in show, such as “Hendrix in Miseryland” (shown) and “The Deer Hunter” (shown). Dave’s sense of humor and crazy way of looking at pop culture is always enjoyable to see in any new works that he creates.
