  • “Ms. V” print by Lori Earley

    Coming from her latest solo show, “Laments and Lullabies” at the Opera Gallery (see the show here), is a print based on one the amazing paintings that Lori had in the exhibition. “Ms. V” is 24″ x 36″ giclee on paper, signed and numbered in an edition of 50. The original painting was oil on board and was 24″ x 36″, so the print is pretty much the same size provided there is a white border or not. The print will ship at the end of November, possibly sooner.

  • “Phantom of the Opera” print at Mondotees

    Mondotees has just released a couple of new prints. The one that I am featuring is this amazing Phantom of the Opera print by Martin Ansin, who previously made the now sold out Metropolis print. Here is what the artist had to say about the print:
    “”The color scheme refers to the early two-color form of Technicolor used in the “Bal Masqué” sequence of the film, where the Phantom presents himself in the guise of the ‘Red Death’.”
    The color scheme is great, not as intense as some of the other posters you will find in the shop, but very classy and fits the movie well. The print is a 24″ x 26″ screen print, signed and numbered in an edition of 75 for $30. Limit 2 per person.

  • “Go East” exhibition with Lebasse Projects

    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.

  • Artist Profiles: John Larriva

    If you have been reading the site for a while you might remember a painting I showed as art of the day from John Larriva. Since that first post John has been releasing some really great oil paintings. Along with his homepage, John also has a profile on Deviantart, and an etsy shop filled with original paintings and prints. The “Lithium Lynn” original painting that I featured last year is available in the store. I really love how brushy and energetic his paintings are.

    Head on over to his webiste to see more work, and make sure to stop by his Etsy shop: John Larriva @ Etsy

  • Andrew Brandou @ Corey Helford Gallery

    Andrew Brandou’s second solo show at the Corey Helford Gallery opened this past Halloween weekend. This new solo show is entitled “In the Garden of the Mystic” and will be up until November 18th if you want to stop by and check it out. I have enjoyed Andrew’s work for quite some time now. His style is very reminiscent of the art that surrounded me as a child, so I was hooked on the work the moment I saw it.
    The new abstract character designs really stood out. I have seen a few artists try this in the past year and none seemed to have pulled it off as elegantly as Andrew has. The pictures don’t show it very well, but most of these new paintings have either gold leaf, or gold sumi ink in them. I absolutely love the linework seen in these paintings. Along with the abstracts, some of the maze style pieces that were seen in his “Mind Manors” show at the Milieu Galerie/Artspace in Bern, Switzerland are also present. Here is the statement from the gallery:

    Influenced by 1960’s posters, music and psychedelia, Brandou’s new work takes a walk on the wild side and a more organic narrative ensues. The artist’s iconic flower motifs, skulls, bunnies and boxes transform into a kaleidoscope of stunning psychonautic imagery. Ornate gold leaf accents decorate mind-expanding dreamscapes where the ego merges into the id, fear is released and beauty resides. The exhibition will also include a rare series of limited-edition silkscreens on wood block based on vintage rock posters.

    Check out the images, and then head on over for the full show: Corey Helford Gallery
