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). Hit the “read more” link for the rest of the photos are well as an extended write-up.

Preview: Greg Gossel @ Shooting Gallery
This week is just filled with amazing shows. Coming to the Shooting Gallery in SF this Saturday, June 13th is a solo exhibition of new paintings by Greg Gossel. The show is entitled “Happy Endings”, even though the art in the show is a bit darker than his previous works. In an interview with Arrested Motion, Greg said “Many of the pieces incorporate this ongoing theme of a fall from grace, pieces of our collective history which were not the storybook endings that are so often portrayed in mass media.” This idea is quickly understood when you see some of the paintings which incorporate iconic figures like Mike Tyson, Princess Diana and JFK. The show looks massive, with over 60 paintings ranging from 12″ x 12″ and 106″ x 75″ such as “Iron Mike” (shown). The works are online to view, so head on over and take a look and if you can try to catch the show in person. There is also a great video priview over at Vimeo Here

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.

Photos: Family First and Van Arno
This past weekend I headed over to San Francisco to check out the latest solo show of Van Arno at Shooting Gallery, as well as the “Family First” group show right next door at White Walls. I rented car this time as to avoid the two hour bus ride for once, and be able to move around the city easier. It wasn’t as cold as I thought it would be there, it must just be where I live that gets unbearably cold.
The Van Arno show was excellent, securing me as a fan from here on out. The Family First show which featured works by Shepard Fairey, Ian Francis, Mike Giant, Sylvia Ji, Adam Flores and more, was also a blast. It was great to finally see paintings by Ian Francis and Shawn Barber in person, both of which are even more amazing in person. I took so many pictures of the works just to be able to look back at all the small details in painting held.
