Every year around the beginning of December, social media and blogs light up with previews of art that will be on exhibition at either Art Basel, or at the Scope Art Show in Miami, Florida. Along with the images of art, there are always a few articles here and there about why the art world is loathsome and even why this is the worst time to be an artist ever. While these articles touch on a few ideas that I do agree with, I still think great art is being made and even shown at these festivals. Street art is one good example; take a look at Streeartnews.net for some of the best murals created during the event.

Prints: “Saying Goodnight” by Eric Fortune
A Paper Tiger has been a little quiet for the past few weeks, but they’re now back with a new print. “Saying” Goodnight” is by the always amazing Eric Fortune and is 18.25″ x 24″ on cotton paper, signed and numbered in an edition of only 10. The post says they worked alongside Eric to make sure this print came out as close to the original as possible. I’m sure it looks amazing.

Hi Fructose 5th Anniversary Exhibition @ Copro Gallery
This past March 13th, the Copro Galley opened the 5th Anniversary Exhibition for Hi Fructose. Along with this amazing group show, Eric Fortune and Michael Page also had solo shows up as well. The group show featured some inspiring work by KMNDZ, Scott Hove, Martin Wittfooth, Lori Earley, Eric Fortune, Craola, Chet Zar, Amy Sol, Kris Kuksi, Jonathan Viner, Chris Mars and many more. The Eric Fortune works are not up on the site as of yet, but the Michael Page solo show is. His latest works have been more abstract, and less figurative than earlier pieces. These paintings still hold the same narrative feel that his older works had, and are even more mysterious than ever. The colors are breathtaking, and I like the idea that he decided to change his work up a bit. Take a look at the preview images from the shows, and then head on over and see all of the works.

Dark Pop 2.0 @ Last Rites Gallery
Opening this Saturday Night, January 9th at the Last Rites Gallery in New York is the second installment of the Dark Pop group show. The shows will feature artists that don’t necessarily always create dark art but will do so for this show. Some of the artists are mainly “dark” in all of their works, so it should be a good mix of ideas. The artists that will be participating are: Esao Andrews, John Cebollero (Interviewed), Joshua Clay, Molly Crabapple, Amy Crehore, Yoko d’Holbachie, Leslie Ditto, Eric Fortune, GAIA, Stella Im Hultberg, Sarah Joncas (Interviewed), Danni Shinya Luo, David MacDowell, Mike Maxwell, Tara McPherson, Michael Page, Leslie Reppeteaux, Mijn Schatje and more.
Take a look at the preview pics and then make sure you keep on eye on the site for the full show.

New prints from Eric Fortune and Joao Ruas @ Paper Tiger
A Paper Tiger has added two new prints to the online shop. “Haunted #20” from Brazilian artist Joao Ruas, and “A Place That I Remember” by Eric Fortune. Both of these new prints are based on original work that is currently a part of the “Go East” exhibition from Lebasse Projects, both originals have sold so if you are as hooked on these two pieces as I am, these prints are very welcomed.
Each print is roughly 12″ x 16″, signed and numbered in editions of only 25 for $100 a pop. I don’t imagine these prints to stick around very long, they are both beautiful images from two very exciting artists.Get em here: A Paper Tiger

“Go East” exhibition with Lebasse Projects
For a three day only exhibition, November 5-7th, Lebasse Projects will take the artists that are the heart of the gallery and bring them to the east coast. This marks the first in what will hopefully be many global exhibitions, giving everyone a chance to see work from artist such as Yoskay Yamamoto, Tessar Lo, Edwin Ushiro, Joao Ruas, Eric Fortune, Mia, and Nate Frizzell.
I have always felt that the best way to view art is in person. It is quite hard when the gallery is across the country or in another country for that matter, so this show will be a great opportunity for the fans in New York to check out these amazing works of art. For those of us that are still stuck checking out the work online, here is a small preview and a link to the full one.
