Rod Luff’s first US solo exhbition opened at the Phone Booth Gallery this past Saturday, April 16th. Rod has shown work a few times at the gallery; I think it’s great they decided to give this very talented artists a solo show this quickly. There is around 25 original works of art made with oils as well as graphite and pastels. The show looks amazing, and is very cohesive. This is definitely an artist I will keep an eye on. I like the fact that he has a variety of mediums, and while the work style changes a bit in some of the paintings, you can still clearly see his vision shine through. If you check the blog of the gallery’s site, you will also see some images from the opening reception. It helps to see what the works looks like in relation to people.

Study No 2 – “Pele” by Michael Shapcott
Continuing his study series and revisiting some old works, Michael Shapcott has just released a new drawing, this one is based on his painting “Pele”. The drawing is 10″ x 12″, graphite on bristol. I love the fact that even with graphite he is able to achieve similar dripping, staining, and brush marks that the original painting had. I can’t wait to see what painting he will pick next for this series.

Edward Scissorhands 20th Anniversary Tribute @ Gallery Nucleus
This past weekend saw a good number of art shows open up, but on Saturday April 16th, a show sure to draw out your nostalgia for the 90’s was opened at Gallery Nucleus. The theme of the show was the film Edward Scissorhands, and the show was done in honor of the 20th Anniversary. Aside from reminding me how old I am getting, there is around 70 works of art that also reminded one how cool this movie was. Aeron Alfrey, Lorelay Bove, Brigette Barrager, Robert Doucette, Ken Garduno, Edweird Gray, Benjamin Lacombe, Dave Perillo, Aurore Damant, and Israel Sanchez are just a few of the names that submitted art to this show. I really like the painting that Aurore Damant created entitled “Welcome to Suburbia” (shown last). It’s colorful, and the style of drawing is one that I have always been a sucker for.
