  • Preview: “World on Fire” Grammy Art Show

    In honor of the Grammy’s, Feb 2nd through the 8th, Shooting Gallery along with Kris Lewis and help from Will.I.Am bring a group show entitled “World on Fire”. The show features portraits of big name music stars painted by 20-25 of some of the best artists in the “Lowbrow” scene. The works and prints that re sold at the show will help to benefit the Pea Pod Foundation. A few sites have talked about this show, and Arrested Motion just posted a preview of some of the works that will be on view, and from what I have seen so far this show is going to not only help out a great foundation but bring the fans some killer artwork.

    The show will feature portraits from: Lori Earley (Madonna), Paul Chatem (Rick Rubin), Kris Lewis (Beck), Travis Louie (Trent Reznor, NIN), Shawn Barber (Angus Young, AC/DC), Natalia Fabia (Pink), and it is also said we will see Jeremy Lipking painting Snoop Dogg, Ron English (Metallica), Van Arno (BB King), Shepard Fairey (Paul McCartney) and many more.

  • aotd: “Fiddle Fatale” by Paul Chatem

    Paul is no doubt one of my favorite artists, so I always look forward to any new work that he has. He recently added some new images to his site, as well as updated his show list. This coming December 6th he will participate in the 3rd installment of the “”Don’t Wake Daddy” Group show at Gallery Feinkunst Kruger in Germany.

    The piece featured here is entitled “Fiddle Fatale” and is 18″ x 24″. I really love the great amount of texture he is able to get and yet the paint and surface of the work is very flat. The one thing that always amazes me, is how perfect the lines he frames the work in are. I also dig the dual sets of eyes in this one, and the fact that not only is she framed with the striping but also the birds.
