The work is not online yet, but the show is up until November 27th so you still have time to see it in person. The Warholian has some photos of the Reception over at Flickr, and a video on Vimeo. Spoke Editions has also made a good amount of the work from the show into affordable limited edition prints.

  • Christopher Ulrich “Halloween Studio Sale II” @ La Luz De Jesus Gallery

    If you happen to be close to La luz de Jesus Gallery this Sunday, October 31st, you might want to check out Christopher Ulrich’s “Halloween Studio II”. Starting at 11am and going until 7pm, to give you some time to get ready for any Halloween parties, you can check out a huge amount of studies and finished paintings by the artist. Not only is this a great way to see the working process of Ulrich, via the many studies and sketches, but it’s kind of like a one day show featuring work from his “Illuminator” and “Demoneater” Series, “The Fourth Enochian Key”, “Pan’s Labyrinth” concept work, and paintings from various group shows he was in. Looking at all of this art is sure to get you even more excited for his upcoming solo show at La Luz de Jesus this December 7th, “The Reckoning”. As an art historian, the work of Ulrich is very exciting. So much of his work is filled with iconography, classic references, and it doesn’t hurt that his skill is Make sure you take a look at the sale online if you can’t make it in person, there are some really good deals such as “The first patron to buy two of the available Demoneater Doors will get one more for free, and will get their portrait painted into the centeral quattrain panel of the The Reckoning.” How cool is that?

  • 13th Hour @ Last Rites Gallery

    The most recent incarnation of the 13th Hour group show at the Last Rites Gallery opened this past Friday, October 29th. I am told by a few of the artist that attended the reception, that all went well, and it was one of the best show yet. The full show is now online to view, and seeing how today is Halloween you might want to head on over and check out some of the art. There is some really amazing work in this show, once again Scott G Brooks creates a mind-blowing painting, and I love how Sarah Joncas created something creepy in a Hitchcock kind of way.

  • “Gage and Church: The Undead” by Michael Shapcott

    I’m always happy to see new work by Michael Shapcott, but honestly never thought he would make something so creepy. “Gage and Church: The Undead” was made for the Totally Terror group art show that took place at the Madison Art Cinemas in Madison, CT. Pet Semetary was one of those movies that freaked me out, simply for the character of Gage, and Michael has captured that weird little kid so well in this painting. You can almost here him saying “No fair, no fair”.
