Adam5100 and Michael Genovese at White Walls, SF, CA

Submitted by russell on
July will mark the opening of a new show at White Walls featuring the artwork of Adam 5100 and Michael Genovese. Both these artists have their own unique way of creating pieces that are not only aesthetically pleasing at first glance, but when a closer look is taken, each layer reveals much more that what is on the surface.

Adam 5100 uses an extensive knowledge of printmaking and savvy ability with spray paint in his stencil work. Each stenciled piece represents hundred s of hours of meticulous work and a fine detail--the hallmark of his work. Much of it is based on influences of classic American photography, the freedom of modern and contemporary painting, and his own fast moving imagination. Adam 5100’s paintings have taken on a satirical look, challenging concepts of modernity, using spaces as a language to describe forgotten places, and light to evoke their story and context within our time.

Michael Genovese is a self-taught artists heralded for his hand… Read more

Pure Evil's Live East Die Young

Submitted by russell on
PURE EVIL SOLO SHOW AT INK-D GALLERY BRIGHTON !!!

4th July-2nd August 2008

"To understand a bit about the artist PURE EVIL it is illuminating to know that he is a descendant of Sir Thomas More, the Lord Chancellor who wrote the controversial work Utopia and who was later beheaded by King Henry VIII. With this busy background (Sir Thomas was later canonised) it is only natural that Pure Evil should explore the darker side of the wreckage of Utopian dreams and the myth of the Apocalypse, a belief in the life-changing event that brings history with all its conflicts to an end.

Larry Cyr at The Goodfoot, Portland

Submitted by russell on

The Goodfoot will have an art opening last Thursday, June 26th from 5-11pm, the show will be up until July 28th.  The artists this month are Jacob Wooton, Keith Rosson and Larry Cyr.

Keith Rosson was born in Ashdown, Arkansas. Formative years spent in the Pacific Northwest. Education at Cornish College of the Arts and Portland State University. Graduated at neither .  With a heavy nod to comic book culture and a cut-and-paste punk aesthetic, Keith Rosson’s paintings are simultaneously droll and incendiary; he tackles emotional, universal themes with a dark, tongue-in-cheek gallows humor. Bright, text-heavy and immediately recognizable, Rosson’s acrylic paintings often utilize secondary elements that most often include ink and correction fluid, as well as bullets, teeth, nails, switchblades and cell phones and has led one critic to claim that, “(Rosson) continues putting out the finest graphic novels distilled into paintings in the Pacific Northwest.”
