There have been so many great shows and prints being released, this group exhibition at Yves Laroche almost slipped right past me. “Phantasmagoria” opened just a few days ago, October 27th, and features new work by Travis Louie, Brandt Peters, Kathie Olivas, and Chet Zar. The different styles of each artist in the show fits quite well with each other. I do have to say that I am most impressed with what Travis Louie and Chet Zar created such as “Zombi”, “Evil Eye”, and “Jack Newbury, Prince of the Patch” (all shown). Head on over and take a look at the full show.

“The Hart of Valhalla” busts by Godmachine
A few weeks ago Godmachine released an etching entitled “Before You Were Young” (featured), which is still available. I was wondering how he would follow up such a great print, but it never occurred to me it would be something 3-dimensional. “The Hart of Valhalla” (Eikthyrni ) are 16 ceramic stag heads that he hand painted, so that each one is unique. The heads are around 4″ high and come with a presentation box and free sticker.

Artist Profiles: Bryan Drury
Bryan Drury is an artist working of New York, and is a graduate of the New York Academy of Art. He currently has a solo show, “Antibiosis”, on view at the Dean Project Gallery. The work in the show, as stated by Bryan, “are allegories whose subject matter comes out of the conflicting dynamic between human society and our mutable conception of nature.” Bryan is a phenomenal painter; looking at his CV you can see that he has quite a lot of education and it shows. This is type of work that you need to see in person or else you miss out on all the detail, and magic that oil painting done in the right hands holds.

The show entitled “Bunny in the Moon” and is filled with work inspired from mythology found from cultures around the world.

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.
