It’s been quite a while since I checked in to see what some of the previous featured artists on the site have been up to, but once in a while I am notified via one of the many social networks. For instance, Charles Wish was the featured artists back in 2008 added some new paintings to his Facebook profile. The painting have a date of 2009, but its the most series of paintings of he has been working on. The three paintings, “The Denial of Winter, Dasa Dhumavati & The Deposing of Alisha Owen”, “The Nuisance of Spring, Dasa Tara & The Marketing of Don Vliet”, and “The Disregard of Fall, Dasa Bhairavi & The Conformance of Geronimo” are each 33″ x 48″ oil on canvas panel, and are intense. There is much detail and imagery in these works, that they really need to be seen in person. Charles has a bit of information on each of the works that you can see at his Facebook profile below.

Garbage Pail Kids @ Gallery 1988
On September 2nd, Gallery 1988 in Melrose opened a new themed group show, this one with work inspired by the Garbage Pail Kids. I remember when the collectors cards first came out in 1985, and kids went insane for them. The biggest draw for me was the art, and it’s the one thing that made the concept of this show exciting. There is a huge amount of work available in a variety of mediums, as well as limited edition prints. It was great to see what each of these artists would bring to show; would they make a painting styled like the classic cards, or opt to make something new and unique in design. There is a good mixture of both, and I am happy to see works styled like the cards and some that are not. It helps to break up what could have become too much. There is some amazing work in this show, seen below are some paintings by Allison Reimold, Dave MacDowell, N.C. Winters, and some killer prints available from Rhys Cooper. Take a look at the preview images and then over to the website for the full show.
