LA::Kelsey Brooks at New Image Art
Kelsey Brook’s first U.S. solo show opened this past Saturday at New Image Art, Los Angeles. Here, we present photos from opening night*, alongside some of the paintings available for purchase.
Brook’s new body of work represent personal meditations on spirituality and humanity. In the artist’s own words, “Creation exists beyond the scope of physical parameters and universal constants, unseen by tangibility and rationality. A place where rules are fluid and dynamic, forever changing in accordance to the unknown. These paintings are a product of this place, this limbo between 2 worlds. When I close my eyes and travel to this place these paintings are what I see.” (excerpted from press release)
If you’re a fan, now’s the time. With Brooks being officially represented by Lazarides, expect prices to rise faster than you can say “Faile.”

We Like Jeff McMillan
Jeff McMillan just sent over some photos from his current Los Angeles show, A Maintenance of Inhabitants (For Now), at SURU. Lots of great and affordable pieces are still available. We’re really digging the shrine-like paintings, which seem like an homage to one of Jeff’s favorite artists, Eric White. Short on cash? - Jeff has also produced two $75 giclee prints, in an edition of 50 each, as well as two t-shirt designs. Read the rest of this entry »

Phantasmagoria by Mark Dean Veca
Mark Dean Veca’s Phantasmagoria was unleashed on 11 October, 2008 at Otis’ Ben Maltz Gallery. The scale was enormous, yet more detailed than any previous installation by the artist. There are references to both Eastern and Western culture with a toile de jouy pattern motif mashed with Japanese waves. In addition, the artist’s Boogeyman character made it’s first appearance on the walls. As an exceedingly ambitious effort, successfully rendered into reality, this event signals very big things for the artist. Several of the original art pieces, available through the artist’s studio, have already been sold to notable collectors. TAC congratulates Mark Dean Veca on displaying a new level of virtuosity.
