This past Saturday, October 23rd, the highly anticipated solo show from Tara McPherson opened at the Jonathan Levine Gallery. The show entitled “Bunny in the Moon” and is filled with work inspired from mythology found from cultures around the world. This is quite a large amount of work created for this show, not only oil paintings but drawings, and even some fabric flowers. Right next door in second part of the gallery was “At the End of the Rainbow” by Xioqing Ding, this is her debut exhibition in New York. She has a very classical style to her work, and you can even see some references to classical paintings and allegories, such as the three graces and Venus. Both shows are now up on the galleries site, and are a must see.

“Flotsam’s Wonder World” documentary by Colin M. Day
There is just a few days left of Mike Shine’s “Flotsam’s Wonder World” show at 941 Geary Gallery in SF, so I thought I would share this video that gives a look into this amazing exhibition. Documentarian for the Warholian, Colin M. Day created a great video showing the art, preparation of the show, and the events that went on during the reception. It’s the perfect video to watch if you missed the reception, or like me came in a little too late.

New work by Tom Bagshaw
Tom Bagshaw will have two new work in the upcoming “Eyes Wide Shut” show November 12th, put on by Fine Grime UK. “All the Devils” and “Frankie” are both giclee prints mounted on board and hand varnished. “All the Devils” will have some hand embellishments added to it. It seems as though the Halloween spirit has not only prompted some artists to make some great horror themed works, but The Bride of Frankenstein seems to be a popular choice this year.

Maria Checchia
Maria Checchia is an artist from Italy, who is also one part of a duo named Caktus&Maria. Together they make beautiful, photorealistic murals with spray-paint; and alone she makes some pretty amazing paintings in a variety of mediums such as oils, watercolors, ink, and graphite. It looks as though a majority of the mural work the duo create, are self portraits, while Maria’s solo work seems to be inspired possibly from magazines and images found on the net. You can follow their work on a blog for the duo here: Caktus&Maria @ Blogspot, or head on over to flickr and see all of the work there.
