    Support Artists with these Black Friday Art Sales

    It’s that time of year again when people line up, wait for hours, fight and hurt each other all to save a little bit of cash and put the rest in the pockets of companies that only think about how this year, will stack up to last years profits. So why not spend your money on art, support an independent artist, and really make a difference in someones life (including your own). There are so many talented artists having Black Friday sales. This is a great opportunity to stay in your house, sip on some coffee (or beer) and buy some original art and/or prints that will be shipped directly to you, and you don’t even need to get trampled for it.

    Here is a selection of artists and art shops that are offering deals this Black Friday. Be awesome, spread the word.

  • Prints: “Snow Owl” by Jeff Soto and Black Friday Prints

    Jeff Soto is dropping a new time-limited print this Wednesday, November 16th at 12 PM Pacific. The print entitled Snow Owl is a 12″ x 15″ UV print on wood for $55, that will be available for 24 hours. I like the idea of time limited prints, and have never seen one that was printed on wood before.
    Next up is a few prints for Black Friday, a day I make sure to stay home but makes a good day to buy some prints online. Jeff will have three new prints available for a duo print set entitled Two Skullz, 16″ x 16″ each limited to 50 for $100. Next is Blooming another UV print on wood, 16″ x 24″ signed and numbered in an edition of 20 for $220 each. Thanks to Omgposters.com for the heads up.

  • “Lyric” group show @ 323 East Gallery

    323 Gallery recently opened a show curated by Glenn Barr that features art inspired by music. It seems like it has been quite a long time since a show like this has come around, hopefully this show and the “INLE” show curated by Craola will signal a new trend towards art and books, instead of movies and pop-culture mashups. Not that I don’t like those kinds of shows, but it would be nice for some more variety. “Lyric” opened on March 19th and will run until April 19th. Glenn Barr has assembled a greta list of artists such as: Jeff Soto, William Wray, Bask, Chris Recarrdi, Rick Morris, Gary Taxali, Chet Zar, Brandt Peters, Kathie Olivas, Yumiko Kayukawa, Camilla D’Errico, Brandi Milne, Lisa Petrucci, and more. After the preview images head on over and check out he full show.

  • Jeff Soto & Dave Cooper @ Jonathan Levine Gallery

    Just this past weekend, June 26th, Jeff Soto’s latest solo show “Lifecycle” and Dave Cooper’s show “Mangle” opened up at the Jonathan Levine Gallery in New York. Jeff’s work is now a little bit more detailed and intense this round. His last solo show was “The Inland Empire” at Stolenspace, and while that was a great show the work in “Lifecycle” seems a little bit more jarring, and more richly conveys the fear and environmental issues his work often holds. Much of the icons were are used to seeing in Soto’s paintings are here, but some new ones have entered and others have been re-imagined.

    Next door in Gallery II is Dave Cooper’s “Mangle”, featuring “new drawings and paintings of twisted ladies”. The color palette is a darker than his latest works have been, and the feel of Dave’s work is a nice compliment to Soto’s. I would like to see the two shows in person, but I can imagine that the feel the patrons had was pretty intense.
