“Everything But the Kitschen Sync 14” @ La Luz de Jesus
Coming this March 4th at La Luz de Jesus is the 14 edition of the “Everything But the Kitschen Sync” group show. These group show started back in 18986 and focussed entirely on folk art. The show has now changed names a few times and evolved to encompass more of the best fine art, illustrative, and graphic design out there. New works by Michael Brown, JAW Cooper, Will Crane, Patrick “Star27” Deignan, Delphia, Robert Doucette, Caitlin Hackett, Scott Holloway, Richard Frost, Dennis Larkins, Danni Shinya Luo, Jon MacNair, Apricot Mantle, Junko Mizuno, Munk One, Scott Saw, Kim Scott, Sean Stepanoff, Bonni Read, Cate Rangel, Antonio Roybal, Celene Petrulak, Nathan Ota, Jessica Ward, James Zar, and many more will be on view. It’s an amazing show with a staggering amount of work to be seen. I especially like José Rodolfo Loaiza Ontiveros Disney remix works, and Delphia’s “The Caul” (shown first) is easily one of my favorite works from this show. This exhibition will be up until march 28th, so if your in the area make sure to stop by.

“Germs” by Travis Louie
Travis Louie has been working on some new concepts lately, and has posted some of them on his blog. These new characters are “Germs” and so far look amazing, I do hope this is something we see in some upcoming shows. I have always been a big fan of his vintage style portraits, and using inspiration from things such as Germs makes me wonder what he will do next. Follow his blog to keep in the loop of new art and shows.

Hi Fructose interview with Buddy Nestor
Hi Fructose has just put up a new interview with Buddy Nestor conducted by JL Schnabel, an artist working out of Philadelphia. The interview goes over the beginnings of Buddy’s “Every Girl Goes to Hell” portrait series, and gives a detailed account of the working process Buddy goes through for each one of these paintings. It’s a great interview that flows well, and gives the viewer a better insight into these outstanding works Buddy keeps on creating. I have to say that the articles and interviews by JL Schnabel are one of the main reasons I keep checking Hi Fructose out on a weekly basis.

Review: Michael Page’s “Into Passing” @ Shooting Gallery
Michael Page’s latest solo show, “Into Passing” opened at the Shooting Gallery in San Francisco almost two weeks ago on February 12th. I wasn’t able to make the reception, or even see the show up until this past week. The show will be up until March 5th and I highly suggest that if you are in the area, you see this show in person. I have been a fan of Michael’s work ever since I first saw his more narrative styled works at Varnish Art Gallery back in 2006. Since those earlier shows, his paintings have slowly evolved into a more abstract and now vividly colored body of work. Looking closely at each of the paintings you can still see the signature style of figures that he has always created, but now they are intertwined within the mass of abstract forms and loosely applied streams of color.

The Art of Ana Teresa Fernandez
Ana Teresa Fernandez is an artist that received her M.F.A from the San Francisco Art Institute. She was also a professor for the University of San Francisco as well as U.C. Berkeley. Ana has also created work with graphite, ink, and even some sculptures created out of broken glass, resin, and hot glue. I am most impressed with her oil paintings. She has a photorealistic style, and as you can see from the images she has mind-blowing control over the medium. Quite often I see artists try to render water, only for it to end up looking like sheets of warped metal, however Ana and the work of Linnea Strid show what a skilled painter can do when set out to recreate even the most difficult of subjects. Make sure you check out her website for the rest of her very impressive body of work. If you happen to be in the San Francisco area, Ana currently has some work on view at La Galeria de la Raza until April 16th.
