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.

“Weirdo Noir” book by Matt Dukes Jordan
The author of the book “Weirdo Deluxe”, is back with a new book talking the gothic and dark art scene. The book is 9″ x 9″, 192 pages and features work from more than 20 artists such as Attaboy, Ana Bagayan, Glenn Barr, Jonathan Bergeron, Ray Ceasar, Jason d’Aquino, Bob Dob, Alex Gross, Sarah Joncas, Annette Hassell, Fred Harper, Dan Kennedy, Laurie Lipton, Travis Louie, Tara McPherson, Skot Olsen, Nathan Ota, Annie Owens, Anthony Pontius, Isabel Samaras, Shag, Dani Tull, Brian Viveros, and Edward Walton Wilcox.
I enjoyed Weirdo Deluxe quite a bit, and this book seems like a good followup. I’m not sure if I agree about the “noir”, or as stated in the description “artists who have embraced the dark side, employing gothic themes in their art.” There are a few artists in that list that have dark works for sure, but maybe I just have a different definition of “dark and gothic”.Get it here: Chronicle Books, or cheaper at Amazon

Fred Harper and Nick Baxter @ Last Rites Gallery
This Saturday, February 6th at the Last Rites Gallery in New York, Fred Harper (Featured) and Nick Baxter will both have new work on display. I think both artists compliment each other very well. While Fred has a more brushy style with his painting, both have very colorful works. i would really love to see the paintings by Nick Baxter in person, the detail on each piece is impressive.

Dan Harding originals @ Congregation Gallery
Congregation Arts, the folks that have been put on the Forgotten Saints, Voodoo and Metal inspired shows now have a full fledged website. Images from their last show “The Second Annual METAL Art Show” are now up to view. Paintings by Cam De Leon, Vincent Castiglia, Chris Peters, Fred Harper, Vince Locke, Cate Rangel and the always amazing Dan Harding are still available. The painting by Dan used for the flyer “Threshold” (shown) and another “Apocalyptic Self” were in the show. I really dig “Threshold”, the colors are great and the pose he has that figure in is really dynamic. If you have never seen a Dan Harding painting in person you are truly missing out. The details he achieves with oils is nuts. His work is starting to sell out faster as the shows go by, I am honestly surprised these two are not sold yet. Especially for the price they are set at.
