ten visual artists i have been thinking about

i am a painter, but that's a very solitary act and doesn't help me see much daylight. i find out about these folks by reading magazines / websites, going to galleries, hanging out with mr. penguin usa paper, plotting, scheming, etc, etc, etc.

I've seen an ad that looked exactly like that Terry Rodgers painting (minus bare breasts), only it was a photograph for something.

I wish that Delia Brown were as prolific as Rodgers.

so then you're in LA too, dean? i think so anyway. anything coming up? doesn't assume vivid astro focus have something that opens... uhh... today? at moca? o i guess i could look... gallerywise though i never know where to go in LA other than, you know, just kinda scampering around chinatown.

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Monday, 10 October 2005 20:13 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah, i'm a westsider. shameful, i know. don't know too much about the LA shows at the moment. bergamot is poor, but neil farber opens at heller on saturday. rebecca campbell closed in venice on saturday and was great. chinatown was boring except for some oval shaped photos at black dragon (?) linked upthread - i can't remember the artist's name - and a couple of small works in the backroom of acuna hansen. the shore/fisher piece at QED in Culver City is AMAZING and must be seen. don't know much about the other CC galleries. Mr. Penguin can probably give you more info.

― Magin Johnson's magical AIDS thrfit store (dr g), Monday, 10 October 2005 20:19 (eighteen years ago) link

assume vivid astro focus has an installation at the big Ecstasy show at the Geffen. It requires 3-d glasses and is pretty funny.

The show in general is good:

I like photorealism when it has a strong surrealist element (ala David Lynch movies or Gregory Crewdson photographs) - something just a little off in the perspective or colors that alters your perception.
