LOOK INTO MY OWL

The “Art Season” is heating up, it’s a palpable sensation that begins with the first signs of Fall. Things are no different at our gallery, NOWhere Limited. We’ve been busy adding many sought after limited edition prints and sculptures to our online catalog. Have a look and revel in the shamelessness of this plug.

Post Neo Explosionism, The 27 Club , NOWhere Limited Gallery Edition, serigraph, 2009.

The much anticipated release of the NOWhere Limited Gallery Edition of “The 27 Club” (above) from Post Neo Explosionism is poised to drop. This serigraph is limited to 27 prints signed by all three artists (Jermaine Rogers, Justin Hampton & EMEK). The print will be available for purchase this Thursday, October 1st at a random moment between 2 & 3pm Eastern Daylight Time at this link.

Mars-1 x Delta Inc., Special Edition Observer, vinyl, 2009.

Our buddy Mars-1 (aka Mario Martinez) has teamed up with legendary artist Delta Inc. to bring you a special edition of the now classic Observer sculpture. This piece has been limited to an edition of only 100 pieces and can be purchased here.

Jermaine Rogers, Uncle, serigraph, 2009.

The gallery has had a strong relationship with Jermaine Rogers for years now. This arrangement has enabled us to get our hands on prints that otherwise would be impossible to attain. We have added several of Jermaine’s signed and numbered masterpieces to our arsenal including “AFRO-PUNK (Will I live Tomorrow)”, “Interaction #1: Gypsy Eye”, “Little Animals Grow”, “MORRISSEY (Houston & El Paso, Texas)”, “Polluted Culture: Volume 2″, “WEEN (Stone Pony Asbury Park, NJ)” & “Uncle” (above). All can be had NOWhere.

Frank Kozik, MechaNana, bronze, 2009.

Kozik has done it again with the amazing “MechaNana Bronze.” This piece is limited to only 22 casts. When asked to describe this sculpt Kozik just shrugged and said it was a “marital aid.”

Mark Ryden., YHWH, vinyl, 2009.

Also, new to our inventory at NOWhere Limited is this great vinyl piece”YHWH” from Mark Ryden. This is his first and perhaps only of vinyl sculpture, hurry and grab one before they are gone.

“Intricacies”, an eleven artist group show is in it’s last weeks at the Lohin Geduld Gallery in NYC. The exhibit was curated by Emily Sessions.

Sarah Lutz, Burst, oil on canvas, 2009.

The show is comprised of artworks that highlight small details that draw together into larger forms. Works of this character tend to change dependent on the distance of the viewer from the surface. Approach an unassuming abstract shape and vanish into the microcosm.

Adam Fowler, Untitled (7 Layers), graphite on paper hand cut and layered, 2009.

The world we inhabit and the vessels that contain us exist from the same construct seen in this exhibit. On some level, this show could be considered naturalistic. Experiencing this art in person will accurately edify the senses. If possible stop in at the gallery and indulge in the particulars.

Olalekan Jeyifous, The Cyclical-Cities of Impact-Craters, digital print on watercolor paper, 2009.

Laura Battle, Josephine Durkin, Matthias Düwel, Margaret Farmer, León Ferrari, Adam Fowler, Robert Jack, Olalekan Jeyifous, Sarah Lutz, Anne Neely, Mayumi Sarai

On my latest sojourn to NYC I had a chance to stop by Last Rites Gallery for their latest group show, “New Breed”.

Charlie Immer, Elk Puke, oil on panel, 2009.

Ten artists were invited to show pieces in this exhibit. Although decidedly dark, the subtext of the work varied from humorous to delightfully disgusting. It is the first time that any of the artists have shown in the gallery.

Paul Gerrard, Procreators, digital print on canvas, 2009.

It was my first visit to Last Rites. For those that haven’t been there, upon entering one is greeted by a case filled with jars of strange objects labeled as various body parts. Further in there were mounds of wax dripped from candles reminiscent of a goth decorated college dorm room. Many booths were laid out with eager looking tattooists on hand ready to sink ink into flesh. The gallery itself is dimly lit, understandably playing to the established theme but perhaps not the best situation for viewing. There has been some shakeups with the management lately so it will be interesting to see how the new leadership takes hold.

David R. Choquette, Christian, oil on board, 2009.
