  • “Phosphors” by Gene Guynn

    “Phosphors” by Gene Guynn

    It’s been far too long since I have posted anything from Gene Guynn, but he recently released a new painting so I had to share it. “Phosphors” is a new oil painting 24″ x 36″, that Gene will have on view at the Hibbleton Gallery this March 4th. The group show is entitled “F* IT!” and will also feature work by Jessica Ward, Celene, Apricot Mantle, and many more. I love the colors that Gene used in this new painting, and it looks as though he has changed up his “scar” elements a bit. Now the scars commonly found on the shoulders of his figures are spewing off a mix of colored smoke that really gives this piece a dynamic look.

  • Lora Zombie “Broken Doll La La La” @ Phone Booth Gallery

    Lora Zombie’s latest solo show opened at the Phone Booth Gallery this past February 12th, it closes on March 5th so there is still some time to see it. I’ve always liked watercolor, acrylic, and even oil based works that tend to be applied in a hectic and messy manner, but there work here is hit and miss with me. I do have to say that I always enjoy the monkeys that Lora paints. Maybe it’s that I am a big fan of monkeys, or just that these works tend to look more exciting. There is a good amount of work in display, after the preview (of just monkeys) take a look at the full show.

  • “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

    “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.
