Recap : We Are The Romantic Ones

We came, we loved, we conquered. This past Saint Valentine's Day we curated a group exhibition of emotive art from some of our favorite people. It was a last minute show only confirmed just days prior to it's opening and hung the day of. And as ephemeral as LA graffiti, it was gone the next day. Just a one night exhibition graciously hosted by Shepard Fairey's gallery Subliminal Projects in Echo Park, California. Many thanks to our dudes Alf Alpha and Kapeesh for providing the timely sonic vibes. Much appreciation to Pabst Blue Ribbon for always supporting our shows. And huge shout to all that could make the opening and support what we do. It was an exceptional night even though all of us went home alone. Till next time!

Artist Look - Scott Lee

We came across artist Scott Lee some months back and dig the different outputs of expression. A Southern California native from the San Fernando Valley, Scott is currently in his second year at CalArts in the Fine Art program.

Words From Scott:

"My art is about a lot of things and varies in each project, but generally it's about painting, the material, the textures, colors, and composition. I guess I'm trying to speak a similar language as the early abstractionists were doing, just in my own way. It's also about process, this idea of layers and what it took to get to the final state. Within a lot of that though, I'm thinking about life, faith, doubts, hurt, joy, peace, and confusion."

A Portrait Photography Exhibition
Curated by Innocnts

Opening Reception: August 19th, 2016 7-10PM
Exhibition Dates: August 18th – August 28th, 2016

THESE DAYS presents FAMILIAR DIFFERENCES : A Group Photography Exhibition curated by Innocnts focusing on contemporary portraiture by young LA based photographers. Featuring works by DANE PETERSON, EMILY KNECHT, KEEGAN GIBBS, STACY KRANITZ, VALERIE J. BOWER, and WILL ADLER.

“Sensitive people faced with the prospect of a camera portrait put on a face they think is the one they would like to show to the world... Every so often what lies behind the facade is rare and more wonderful than the subject knows or dares to believe.” – Irving Penn

FAMILIAR DIFFERENCES is a mixed grouping of young photographers whose work often entails the use portraiture as a means of depicting the world around them. Often, as active participants within the cultures they document, this grouping of young photographers is imbued with a sense of access and candidness that is unique and endearing to the work. Using various unmediated approaches, this forthright survey of early career photographers explores aspects of portraiture through formal and informal depictions of human experience.

Recap: Never Mind The Dog At Innocnts

We had a great opening last Saturday (11/28) for Never Mind The Dog, a group exhibition curated by Jose Araujo. Inspired by conditions of rebellion, street themes, outsider markings, and other concepts of thought, much of the work in NMTD is socially reflective of the times we live yet holds nostalgic relevance through it's cultural awareness. Curated with a focus on shades of black, white, and grey, Jose and crew transformed the gallery space by airbrushing a brick wall on one side with buffed tags on the opposing wall. Similar scaled work from a solid crew of respected tattoo artists adorned the walls making the space visually stimulating upon entry. In the back corner Jose created a small tattoo shop installation complete with checkered floor, a VHS tv, and various tattoo ephemera strewn across the work desk. Later on in the night local synth metal band DiVola put a killer performance for gallery patrons. And to top it all off, the night was blessed with free beer and pizza compliments of Pabst Blue Ribbon and Delicious Pizza keeping everyone in proper form.

The following Sunday Jose setup in the gallery space offering $40 tattoos on a first come first serve basis while we grilled up some Asada and Pollo with some cold beers. Our friends at Badseed Printing parked out front and had a nice sidewalk sale with various items including vintage pornos, Beavis & Butthead magnets, Innocnts tees, custom beer coozys, and other favorable items for that certain someone in your life. It was a solid weekend overall to say the least.

The show was just a 2-day pop-up so if you missed it, you're outta luck. That said, we do have an exhibition pdf catalog with available for those interested. Contact us here for more details.

Lyon Herron Photography

Malibu native and around stand up guy, Lyon Herron has been quietly taking some great images. We've known the guy for some time now but didn't quite realize the extent of his skills behind the lens until somewhat recently. He's got a killer website that's updated regularly with both RVCA and Insight as recent clients. Stoked for Lyon and what's to come.
