To accompany the exhibit, PictureBox has published Jones’ first book, which can be purchased here. Show runs till Oct. 23. Read through for the visual recap. Read the rest of this entry »

The Wait is Over - Aurel Schmidt at Deitch
Aurel Schmidt’s latest exhibit, Man Eater opens this Saturday, Oct. 4, in New York. The 26 year old Canadian born artist has received much praise over the past year, with her works being brought into prominent collections, including Saatchi and Deitch. Aurel moved to New York in 2003 and has refined her illustrative voice over the past few years, incorporating symbols of death, decay and waste into meticulously drafted and beautifully vibrant colored pencil and graphite drawings. Man Eater marks the artist’s third solo show, and her second with Deitch Projects. This one’s not to be missed. Read on for pictures of some of Aurel’s work and a video interview and buy her book here
