Louis Cameron     005

Very cool show from artist Louis Cameron at I-20 in New York. In my humble opinion, there are few subjects that have as much cultural significance as the American Flag, so it doesn’t surprise me that artists continue to try their hand at reinterpreting the ‘Stars and Stripes’ (this is one of my obvious favorites). The paintings in this show depict flags that were created in the 1960’s as a response to the Pan-African Flag (designed by Marcus Garvey), and were meant to symbolically represent the African-American experience. So there, you get some art and a little history lesson on a wonderful sunday afternoon!

Alexa Meade

Alexa Meade’s innovative use of paint on the three dimensional surfaces of found objects, live models, and architectural spaces has been incorporated into a series of installations that create a perceptual shift in how we experience and interpret spatial relationships.

Alexa Meade is a 23-year-old artist based in Washington, DC. She graduated with a degree in Political Science from Vassar College in May of 2009. She spent several summers interning on Capitol Hill and in 2008 was a press staffer on the Obama Campaign.

Her painting techniques push the boundary of perception by compressing three dimensional subjects into two dimensional planes. Essentially, Meade wraps live subjects (people) and objects in paint reversing the normal approach of an artist painting from a source subject and instead painting directly onto the source subject.

I wanted to apologize for getting to this one late. I actually saw this a week back, had it logged in a document somewhere and just never got around to having the time to post it this week. Do check out Meade’s work as it is definitely a fascinating approach to the accepted approach to paint and canvas.

Awesome Video Of The Day: Khoda

Tags / , , — BEAUTIFUL/DECAY MAGAZINE @ 11:38 am

What if you watch a film and whenever you pause it, you face a painting? This idea inspired Reza Dolatabadi to make Khoda. Over 6000 paintings were painstakingly produced during two years to create a five minutes film that would meet high personal standards. Khoda is a psychological thriller; a student project which was seen as a ‘mission impossible’ by many people but eventually proved possible!

Chris Duncan

Duncan_Everything_All_At_Once_print

Chris Duncan is a fabulous Oakland based artist that I have had the pleasure of spending some time with over the past year. His installations, performance, drawing, painting, book making, sculpture and print-work are not only ambitious, but easy to get lost in, and most importantly, totally gorgeous! One of the hardest working artist in the game.

There is so much more! Do you research. Mr. Duncan exhibits with Baer Ridgway Exhibitions in SF. Also, he has started a a very lovely publishing project, Land and Sea. Also, Chris constitutes one half of the force of nature that you may know as Hot and Cold. Also, he is currently doing a residency/project  - The Sun @ Kala in which a record is being produced from freeform percussion jams, replete with sexy packaging. To here him talk about all of this and communicate by banging a drum, try to check out his upcoming lecture. And if you aren’t in the bay, listen to him anyway via Bad at Sports or watch and listen to him via XLR8RTV. He’s “up on the wall”.

Gavin Nolan has an uncanny ability to take images of historical figures and unveil their darkest desires and inner ugliness in some weird kind of anti-spirit aura portrait. Macabre and seductive all at once. He’ll be showing at Charlie Smith london from March 19 ro April 24th.
