  • Review: El Mac @ Fifty24 SF

    During that weekend I checked out the Shawn Barber and Moki exhibitions, I was also able to swing by Fifty24 SF and see the solo show of El Mac. I had seen the work online and being a fan of figurative art I was quite taken with it, as well as interested in how he creates these amazing portraits with spraypaint. The Fifty23 blog has a few videos of El Mac working on the outside mural here. Each one of the burlap paintings took up most of the height of the wall, it was pretty striking to see the art consume that much of the gallery space. There were also two prints for sale in the back, the largest one “Songs of Songs” was sadly all sold out.
    I was definately an impressive series of paintings, if you happen to be in the area I recommend stopping by and taking a look.

  • Prints: “Saying Goodbye” by Audrey Kawasaki

    Dropping this Saturday, August 22nd at 3pm PST is a new print from Audrey Kawasaki. “Saying Goodbye” is 19″ x 23″ with an 18″ x 22″ image area, signed and numbered in an edition of 200. The print is $220, but can also come framed for $480.

    It a great print, I like how she added more background elements to this piece. Something I wish she would do more often. This print is going to sell out instantly, like they always do. So if your looking for this print keep an eye on the page, or else wait for it to show up on ebay.

  • Review: Shawn Barber “Tattooed Portraits” @ Shooting Gallery

    Right after seeing the Moki exhibition I swung by the Shooting Gallery to check out Shawn Barber’s “Tattooed Portraits” series. His last solo show was the “Tattooed Portraits: “Los Angeles” at the Billy Shire Fine Arts over a year ago. In that show he had a few watercolor paintings of artists hands, I was looking forward to seeing some of those here, but regardless I was happy to see these new works.
