  • Edward Scissorhands 20th Anniversary Tribute @ Gallery Nucleus

    This past weekend saw a good number of art shows open up, but on Saturday April 16th, a show sure to draw out your nostalgia for the 90’s was opened at Gallery Nucleus. The theme of the show was the film Edward Scissorhands, and the show was done in honor of the 20th Anniversary. Aside from reminding me how old I am getting, there is around 70 works of art that also reminded one how cool this movie was. Aeron Alfrey, Lorelay Bove, Brigette Barrager, Robert Doucette, Ken Garduno, Edweird Gray, Benjamin Lacombe, Dave Perillo, Aurore Damant, and Israel Sanchez are just a few of the names that submitted art to this show. I really like the painting that Aurore Damant created entitled “Welcome to Suburbia” (shown last). It’s colorful, and the style of drawing is one that I have always been a sucker for.

  • “The Road to Shermer: A Tribute to John Hughes” @ Gallery 1988

    Gallery 1988 in Venice opened a new group show this past Friday, February 11th. “The Road to Shermer: A Tribute to John Hughes” features original art and prints from an impressive list of artists, and will be run until March 4th. All of your favorite John Hughes movies have been reinterpreted by such artists as Aaron Jasinski, Audrey Pongracz, Augie Pagan, Ben Walker, Brandon Sopinsky, Chris Tezber, Dave MacDowell, Israel Sanchez, Jesse Riggle, Kelly Vivanco, Kevin Tong, Munk One, N.C. Winters, Nicole Guice, Rich Pellegrino, and many more. I’m not the biggest fan of theme shows like this, but this is a good one. There is so much material to work from when it comes to Hughes’ movies, and these artists did a killer job. I really like what Aaron Jasinski, Rich Pellegrino, N.C. Winters, and of course Dave MacDowell who has been using Hughes and inspiration for years. The prints also look great, Derek Deal created an amazing Planes, Trains, and Automobiles print.
