  • Profiles: Ruadh DeLone

    Ruadh DeLone is a photographer out of Rheden, Netherlands. He started out drawing as a child and then moved to photography in 2007. His work focuses on portraiture with a bit of surrealism. DeLone has quite a few series of works; one inspired by his inspiration from Dutch Baroque painter Johannes Vermeer, and another series entitled “Vergänglichkeiten” which I believe means ‘transiency.’ This series features figures with the face slightly obscured by plastic, and a ghostly image of skulls and bones overlaid on the face. Check out his homepage and Behance portfolio for more work.

  • Scott Musgrove & Louie Cordero @ Jonathan Levine Gallery

    This past Saturday, May 15th, the Jonathan Levine Gallery opened the latest solo show from Scott Musgrove entitled “How is the Empire?”, as well as the debut “Sacred Bones” show by Louie Cordero. This is Scott’s second solo show at the gallery and features new oil paintings, drawings, as well as some small and large-scale sculptural work. There is quite a lot of work in this show, and I love the idea that there is such a variety in mediums. Make sure to stop by and check out Louie Cordero’s work as well, as both shows are now online to view.

  • “Keith Haring” print by Shepard Fairey

    Dropping this Thursday, May 20th is a new print by Shepard Fairey based on artist Keith Haring. This is an 18″ x 24″ screenprint on canvas, and will be limited to an edition of 450 for $70 each. Like the Blondie (previously featured), I think this is a great print dedicated to an influential artist, and “a portion of the sales go to the Keith Haring Foundation and Photographer Patrick McMullan.”

  • “Manfungus 1.3” print by Christian Rex van Minnen

    Gallery Nucleus has added some new prints to their online shop, one of which is “Manfungus 1.3” by Christian Rex van Minnen. I was first taken in with van Minnen’s work due to the similarity to 16th century painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo, although I find the formers work more interesting. The print is a giclee on velvet fine art paper, 18″ x 24″, signed and numbered in an edition of 25.
