Comments Off on Scot Lefavor – See ChangeArt
Scot emailed me last week and asked that I mention he has an upcoming show this month here in Denver at the Andenken Gallery (the venue where Manifest Hope took place). Scot really busts his ass on his artwork and I have a feeling he is pulling out all the stops on this one so it shouldn’t be missed. Unfortunately I will be in Sunderland, England for a show I will be exhibiting at this weekend.
So on October 17th at Andenken Gallery I am asking that if you are in Denver you show up for Mr. Lefavor because I know he will definitely be showing up for Denver.

Comments Off on Devin Troy StrotherArt
Devin Troy Strother takes a mixed media approach to his work as you can tell from the materials used to create the work above (gouache, acrylic, cel vinyl, and silkscreen on cut paper). The end result of these efforts is a tactile-feeling two dimensional image bursting with vibrant color and movement.

Comments Off on Avant Car GuardArt
“Avant Car Guard are a Johannesburg-based three member visual art collective, exhibiting and authoring as a singular artist. They have produced three publications on their work, titled Volume I, Volume II and Volume III respectively, and have exhibited at a national and international level for several years, with their production being based on a conceptual, self-reflexive and satirical approach to the art world – it’s markets, practitioners as well as the process of creating itself. This is manifest across multidisciplinary means; through photography, sculpture, performance, multiples, installation and painting.”
Weird, wild and just plain good stuff.

There is some beautiful Japanese-inspired art in the University of Iowa-trained and now Atlanta-based portfolio of painter and printmaker Jiha Moon. You could call it culturally-infused abstract-expressionistic surrealism.

Just downright bizarre paintings are being produced by RISDy graduate, Robin F Williams. And by ‘bizarre’, I mean very compelling and hard to look away from.

Comments Off on Dan BaldwinArt
Dan Baldwin takes a mixed media approach to his artwork. He hacks, chops, spills, splatters and paints his compositions with frenetic energy. The end result is a mashup of the swilling vortex of violent news and popular culture.

Andrzej Zieliński received an M.F.A. at Yale in 2004. Since then he has exhibited his work at several galleries within the U.S. His roots are in Kansas City, Missouri. I guess you could describe his work at abstract derived from modern technology.

Comments Off on Howie TsuiArt
Artist Howie Tsui sent word of the completion of a recent and epic art project. As opposed to butchering a description in my own words, I will just share what he sent.
“Ottawa-based artist Howie Tsui explores themes of subversion and cultural assimilation through a blend of traditional Asian imagery and Western underground aesthetics. Horror Fables presents his new large paintings, made on paper in the form of Ming Dynasty scrolls, which conjure a phantasmagoria of beasts, ghosts, demons, and gods (and the occasional everyday human) who populate fantastical landscapes. Tsui’s work is informed by a variety of dark subjects, including Asian ghost stories, Buddhist hell scrolls, Hong Kong vampire films, neo-conservative propaganda, and twentieth-century genocides such as the Nanking massacre. He describes the exhibition’s overarching theme as a struggle against “powerful, merciless structures,” citing as examples corporations, political regimes, and social constructs. It also satirizes, in the broadest sense, the atmosphere of fear perpetrated in the West since 9/11 and captured in now-banal catchphrases such as “axis of evil” or “war on terror”. Dim lighting and a spectral soundtrack culled from 1960s Japanese horror movies attend your passage through the artist’s haunted world. There, you’ll find a space both abnormal and paranormal, where dread and glee, the grotesque and the sublime, fluidly co-exist.”
