  • “The Death of Bighead” closing party @ Cave Gallery

    Paul Chatem’s solo show, “The Death of Bighead” will have it’s closing party this February 26th so if yo haven’t had a chance to see the show make sure you do. The nature of Paul’s art requires that it be seen in person. But the Cave Gallery has made a video for those of us that are’t close enough to see the show but still want to see these amazing works in all their movable glory.

  • Paul Chatem’s “The Death of Bighead” @ Cave Gallery

    Opening tonight, February 5th at the Cave Gallery in Venice is the latest solo show from Paul Chatem. “The Death of Big Head” features some more of the amazing “clockwork” inspired works we saw at the Shooting Gallery last year (Featured). Looking at the preview images of the show, the integration of the clockwork elements is seamless with the amazing colors and aging effects that Paul does with his work. These are paintings that are meant to be seen up close, not only to enjoy all of the subtleties that he adds to each piece, but the see the works in motion. I really hope some videos show up soon. Here are a few images from the show, head on over to see the rest. It looks as though most of the show pieces have sold.

  • Black Maria Gallery @ Art Basel Miami

    This is the weekend that Art Basel will be taking place in Miami. There is an insane amount of art to be seen, and many of the artists that have been featured on this and other art sites dedicated to “underground” art, are being shown in some of the booths at the event. Black Maria Gallery is one of them, and will be a part of the Aqua Art Miami in booth #23. Some of the artists that will be featured are: Paul Chatem, Steven Daily, Ken Garduno, Jason Hernandez, Tom Neely and more. The preview of works is up on the galleries website if you want to check them all out.
    Art Basel is one of the events that I would love to go to, but there are a few other sites that were able to attend and have ongoing coverage. Stop by Arrested Motion and Daily Du Jour for more pics of the work that can be seen at Art Basel this year.

    This past weekend, July 11th at the Shooting Gallery was “Until the Whistle Blows” with new works from Paul Chatem and Mike Maxwell. This is the second time I have seen the two artists shown at the gallery and was very excited to see the new work they came up with. I knew I would be impressed, but I had no idea how much I would have missed out had I not gone to the reception.I was able to get around 40 photos of the paintings, and even made a little video showing the way that Paul Chatem’s painting work, (Paul Chatem Video).
