  • Preview: Group Show @ Flatcolor Gallery

    Opening up this Thursday, July 2nd at the Flatcolor Gallery in Seattle is a group show featuring work by Timothy Karpinski, Matthew Ryan Sharp, Jeremy Ehling, Sohaila Adela, BASO, CHIP7 and Julian Duron. The preview for the show is now online and looks great. The work is very affordable as well. Not all of the work from the show is in the preview, but I am loving the paintings by Chip7 and Matthew Ryan Sharp, especially the Baseball Furie drawing (shown). It’s also only $75, someone needs to get that one. If your in the area make sure to stop by the gallery, or check back with the site tomorrow and see if the full show is online.

  • Preview: Jonathan Viner”s “Harem” @ Sloan Fine Art

    Coming this Saturday June 20th to Sloan Fine Art in New York is a solo show featuring new works by Jonathan Viner. The show is entitled “Harem” and is all 12″ x 12″ oil and panel portraits of girls lost in the music they are listening to, all through headphones. Two of these paintings, “Katenka” and “Yelena” are available as prints from his online store as posted earlier. The paintings look amazing, the colors are all very similar and minimal but have this dreamy quality to each one. The reception starts at 4pm, so if your are able to go the show make sure you get there early.

  • Preview: Greg Gossel @ Shooting Gallery

    This week is just filled with amazing shows. Coming to the Shooting Gallery in SF this Saturday, June 13th is a solo exhibition of new paintings by Greg Gossel. The show is entitled “Happy Endings”, even though the art in the show is a bit darker than his previous works. In an interview with Arrested Motion, Greg said “Many of the pieces incorporate this ongoing theme of a fall from grace, pieces of our collective history which were not the storybook endings that are so often portrayed in mass media.” This idea is quickly understood when you see some of the paintings which incorporate iconic figures like Mike Tyson, Princess Diana and JFK. The show looks massive, with over 60 paintings ranging from 12″ x 12″ and 106″ x 75″ such as “Iron Mike” (shown). The works are online to view, so head on over and take a look and if you can try to catch the show in person. There is also a great video priview over at Vimeo Here

  • Preview: Travis Lampe and Chris Crites @ Roq la Rue

    Coming to Roq la Rue gallery this Friday, June 12th is “Best Loved Tales of Misery and Woe” by Travis Lampe and “About:Face” by Chris Crites. This is Travis’ debut show with the gallery and from the preview images, it looks like its going to be a hit. I am really into cartoon/vintage animation so Lampe’s is always a blast to see. Not only does he have new paintings in the show, but prints and 3d work as well. Vimby has a great interview with him as well, check it out here. I am liking the new work by Chris Crites as well, the paintings while colorful and dynamic, remind me a lot of old cabinet photos. If you can’t wait for the show to be online, make sure you get on the preview list.
