  • Preview: Juxtapoz Turns 18 @ Copro Gallery

    Coming this Saturday, March 24th, the Copro Gallery will open Juxtapoz Turns 18, a group show celebrating the 18th anniversary of the iconic art magazine. The show will feature work from many of the artists that have been featured in the magazine over the years such as Todd Schorr, Camille Rose Garcia, Robert Williams, Shag, Scott Musgrove, Candice Tripp, Mark Ryden, Shepard Fairey, Dave Cooper, Tara McPherson, and many more. It’s rare that I look through a new issue of Juxtapoz, and even more so that I visit the website, however I am aware of the place the magazine has in the timeline of this scene and look forward to seeing what these artists come up with. The reception starts at 8 PM and the show will run until April 14th. Keep your eye on the galleries webpage for a full preview.

  • Artist of the Day: Candice Tripp

    I’m going to change the “Art of the Day” portion of the site to “Artist of the Day”. The change comes with the fact that I will now be showing a few images from the artist, as opposed to one.

    So, with that I would like to share the work of Candice Tripp. She is an artist based out of Newcastle, it appears that she mainly uses ink and oils to create her work. I love how here work is placed on these open backgrounds, your eye goes right the central figure(s), kind of like what you would see with Marion Bolegnesi or even some of the works by Fuco Ueda. It’s nice to be able to see some work like this, that isn’t filled with color from every corner of the canvas. The first piece shown, “Franny” is amazing. The colors, the skull features and the the staining is right up my alley. I’m also a big fan of the last piece, and the “Robot Monster” like helmut she is wearing.

    If you take a look at her website, she has news of upcoming shows and even an area for fine art prints of her work. Candice Tripp Homepage
