One last show in Culver City

I love these drawings by Melissa Manful at Taylor de Cordoba Gallery in Culver City.  I like how she is mixing a more painterly language with architectural forms and line. Take a look at the press release here and let me know what you think of this work.

Intriguing tape paintings @ Blum & Poe

Take a look at the work of German painter Dirk Skreber and the Blum & Poe Gallery website for the press release about his latest body of work. These portraits are made by burning and removing foam tape to build and reveal  the faces of the mostly women in the paintings. Here are a couple of details a took while at the gallery. Take a look: Blum & Poe

Alexandra Grant @ Honor Fraser update

I went o Culver City last Friday and took a look at the Alexandra Grant show. Since I saw a few of you were intrigued by the show I took a few details of the work. Look how built up the surfaces are. The smaller pieces look almost like tapestries because of the amount of paint build up. (These are iphone pics so the quality is not the best but I thought you would want to see them anyway) Let me know what you think!

Alexandra Grant @ Honor Fraser in Culver City

If you have a chance to go down to Culver City take a look at this group of new paintings by Alexandra Grant. She uses text and poetic language written by her long time collaborator Michael Joyce to talk about a range of subjects. In this new exhibition entitled "Bodies" she "reveals both maps of the experience of the feminine body - a woman painter painting the physical body - but also of the exchange and relationship of an artist with her muses (poetic language, and in this case, the male writer)"
"The divided symmetry of these forms reference the physical body itself; words become eyes, ears and other physical features as variations of arches communicate notions of female physicality"
Let me know what you think!
