Adia Millett
Thursday, April 8th, 2010Adia Millett’s current body of work, deeply embedded in metaphor, suggests a story of transition from loss to potential love. Her work examines the beauty of impermanence, the power of the unknown, and the illusion of innocence. She uses gestures, objects and sound to convey an abstracted reality where the viewer is asked to put together pieces of a mysterious puzzle. – Artist’s Statement

loose change
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010When I walk around this city, I often look around for tucked away street art or anything unique that stands out in the sea of concrete. This man is making small art coins and dropping them around town, hoping they will create a sweet little story of their own. Read the NY Times article here.

Max Greis & John Breiner
Wednesday, January 20th, 2010you can’t miss this pretty awesome show at Mighty Tanaka. Max Greis does collage landscape masterpieces depicting apocalyptic yet paradisal imagery, great blending brushwork, and just awesome to look at. And alongside is drawer and watercolorist (pencil color,pen, Gouache?) John Breiner. I’m attaching my favorites works of his, even though I love them all. So much awesome detail inside these intricate worlds. You must stop by and see ‘Entropology: Man’s Devolution.’

Weston Emmart
Tuesday, January 5th, 2010This is my friends’ grandfather. He’s a very talented man and I just love this video of him showing his work. Mr. Emmart shows such admiration for his art, so technical and so witty. He seems to have a strong and caring soul, just like his grandson. Watch him chat about his watercolors and horse sculptures below:
From his son, Carter, on YouTube: “My father, artist, sculptor, story teller, WWII veteran, animal lover and inspiration. Born 1923, grew up drawing and making things. Fought in Patton’s Army, wounded in Germany. Raised family of 4 with 62 year ongoing support of wife Ginger. Worked career in TV commercial art. Ogilvy & Mather story board lead. Love of history, wood working, and sailing. Retired to Cape Cod to carve horses and master watercolor. Emmart family patron”

“Shampoo” Acrylics on canvas
While on my trip to Spain, I had the chance to sit down and chat with my friend Alejandro Kobiakov about his work. His paintings and drawings bring a smile to my face. They are witty, colorful, charming and skillfully done. I personally enjoyed his charcoal studies as well as the more playful scenarios. One can see his influences of Keith Haring, Boris Hoppek, and he also draws inspiration from Picasso.

His idea for this series originated from a simple peach and it’s distinctive shape. This sparked a new world, a new genre: Culismo (‘culo’ meaning ‘ass’ in spanish) , with an array of alike characters and the stories they will tell. His latest projects have been sculptures, and most recently, an animation which you can view here. Alejandro likes the idea of reaching a high-level of mass appeal with his work, yet he wants to give his viewers a equal level of intimacy with his narrative. His latest exhibit starts tomorrow, Thursday Sept 17th at Plantazero in Barcelona, Spain, and runs until late October.

Below is my favorite of his, reminds me of my time in Barcelona…
“Fantasies and memories of a recent Madrid” Acrylics on canvas
Dali, Prado and Reina Sofia Museums
Tuesday, September 1st, 2009
I’m BACK. Yessss… and what a trip it was! I have fallen in love with Barcelona. Madrid was not bad either… but I can see myself zooming around the Barcelona streets with my bike after a day at the beach.. mhmm… I did a lot of walking and sightseeing, also visited a few museums… Here’s a link to all the art work and street stuff I could shoot. I really loved the Dali theatre-museum and the Reina Sofia. There was some incredible work I’ve yet seen. I did want to visit local galleries but didn’t have the time in such short notice, plus everyone was closed for vacation, but it’s ok, I will be back… Hope you enjoy the photos.
