  • 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.

  • Shows now online: Imaginary Friends, Drawing Room & Destination Unknown

    Looks like its going to be another one of those weekends that is just filled with great shows opening up.
    Here we go, these are the ones that are online for your viewing pleasure:

    “Imaginary Friends”, a group show featuring work by Andrew Bell, Cherri Wood, Israel Sanchez, Ken Garduno, Scott Campbell & Yoskay Yomamoto at the Gallery 1988 SF is now up. The work looks amazing, and I am especially drawn to the pieces that Ken Garduno (shown) and Andrew Bell submitted. Check it out: Gallery 1988 SF

    “Destination Unknown” opened up and Distinction Art, and features work by Sarah Joncas, Angelina Wrona & Patrick Fatica. It’s a good looking show, as all the work by the three artists flows together nicely. It’s very cohesive. Check it out here: Distinction Art

    “The Drawing Room” a show curated by Audrey Kawasaki opened Friday at Thinkspace. There is also work by Timothy Karpinski & Robert Pokorny in the project room. I think the Drawing Room show looks great, it’s nice to be able to see some graphite work from Travis Louie (shown), as well as Audrey (shown). I hope he puts more of that kind of work in some shows.

    At the Cerasoli-Lebasse Gallery, you have two shows that opened up. Jill Simonson & Scott Belcastro, as well as “Put on a Happy Face” by Nate Frizzell. All the work here looks excellent, check it out: Cerasoli-Lebasse Gallery

    The Copro Nason Gallery has work by Tin, Sas Christian & Kukula for you to gawk at. Tin is getting popular very fast, no works are left to purchase. I am not super happy with Sas’ work, I am a big fan, but these pieces just don’t have the same pop to them. Check out the show here: Copro Nason Gallery
