I took a break for the weekend the visit some family as well as prepare for the next semester of school that is quickly approaching. While I managed to miss a couple of show openings, I was able to swing by and check out the art on my way home. The first show that I saw was the solo exhibition of German artist Moki at the Jack Fischer Gallery.
This was the first time that I have been to this gallery, it looked nice inside the building it was in but the whole setup was not as laid back as many of the galleries I visit. I was looking forward to seeing this artists work in person, as the pictures I have seen on the net look amazing, but I wanted to see in person how good these paintings really were. I have read a few criticisms that state that Moki needs to mature a bit more in her work, and possibly become more cohesive, I couldn’t disagree more. This body of work was not only extremely impressive, but was also better than many of the shows I have seen this past year.

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.

I featured a Wolfman print by Joel Mills a while back, well he now has the full series up for sale. The “Monster Series” prints are all 12.5″ x 19″, hand pulled, signed on French cover stock. There are only 10 sets left, each set has the Wolfman, Frankenstein and Dracula and will only set you back $30 ($6 shipping).
Tyler Stout is releasing a couple of new prints today, August 14th at 12pm (PST). There are two editions, a regular edition at 24″ x 36″ limited to 450 and a variant edition limited to 80. Thanks to omgposters.com for the heads up.
Ana Bagayan has just released a print based on the amazing Silence of the Lambs inspired painting she exhibited in the Crazy 4 Cult 3D show this past month. “Silence” is 15 x 20″ on 17 x 22″ Hahnemuhle fine art paper, signed and numbered in an edition of 50 for $75.
This was easily one of the top paintings in the show, it’s a beautiful image and I’m really glad she made it into a print.

Ana also has another print up for grabs, this one can be purchased from the Lunch Bunch site, a project “of two friends that get together once a week to create home-made meal packages to pass out to the homeless of Los Angeles”. The print is 6.5 by 9″ with 1″ border on Hahnemuhle paper, signed and numbered in an edition of 100 for only $25. The great part is that 100% of the proceeds go to the Lunch Bunch project. Each order will feed 12 people! So you get a nice print, and to help people at the same time.

While goofing off at work, I was able to find an amazing t-shirt company based in the UK “Last Exit to Nowhere”. Along with having an insane amount of shirts based on some of the best cult movies imaginable, they also have a limited edition print to be had. “All Work And No Play Makes Jack A Dull Boy” is a screenprint based on that exceedingly chilling scene in Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 masterpiece “The Shining”. It never occurred to me how great of a print this would make until I saw it on this site. This screenprint is 16.5″ x 23.4″ on natural white paper with water based ink, signed and numbered in an edition of 50 for around $64. This print is does not come framed, the image just shows what it will look like all framed up.

Artistaday.com has added a new print to their online shop. This new print from Eric Joyner is entitled “Unscheduled Maintenance”, is on Epson UltraSmooth paper, 27″ x 15″, signed and numbered in an edition of 100 for $225.
Eric is quite an outstanding painter, and this large giclee print will surely retain all of the energetic brush work that is present in each one his paintings.
