Vanessa Matthews. Dissociate.

A long time ago in a gallery not to far away I stumbled upon the work of Vanessa Matthews. The Soreheads are your inner bad attitude. Don't deny. We're all a bit gloom and doom inside. Vanessa was kind enough to leave a nice message on my blog. Thanks Vanessa!

Because I'm craaaaaaaaaazy.

It's back to WoW and their latest show Crazians. The turn out wasn't as...colorful as the Dial M for Madonna show (read: no drag queens), but there was still some nice pieces in the show. I snapped shots of my standouts from the show.

Another very late post and one more stop on my Culver City Art Walk tour. Tiffany Bozic's Bedtime Stories at Kinsey/DesForges.

Melissa Forman "She Who Chose Blindness"

I have trouble making timely updates.

The Culver City Art Walk was several weeks ago. I took the opportunity to check out the Four group show at Corey Helford. There was some interesting stuff like the sexy, S&M work of Karen Hsiao. Too sexy for my blog, but I'll post a link to her portfolio anyway.

I enjoyed the work of Melissa Forman. Here are some pieces from the show.

Melissa Forman "She Who Gives The Light Of Love"

Melissa Forman "She Who Holds The Power Of Death"

Melissa Forman "She Who Rebuked Her Own End"

Melissa Forman "She Who Was Engulfed By Gods Wrath"

Epitome of Glamour - The Photography of George Hurrell

Jean Harlow photographed by George Hurrell

This is the final week to see Lights! Camera! Glamour!, an exhibit of George Hurrell's photography at the California Heritage Museum.

The name George Hurrell probably doesn't ring a bell, but I'm sure you've seen his work. His work captured the essence of Hollywood glamour of the 1930s. He is credited as the first photographer to use boom lighting to light his subjects. His photos are brilliant paintings of light an shadow. He once said his secret was that he used only one light during his photo shoots. Remarkable, if that's true.

Hurrell was also a master at touching up his negatives to emphasize minute details like eyelashes. Here's a photo of Joan Crawford, followed by a close up of her eyelashes.

A photo of a photo can't really do Hurrell's work justice. Make the trip to see his work in person and witness a part of Hollywood's history.

Karmic Magic at Thinkspace

One of my favorite artists, Amy Sol, is back with another solo show. This time she's at Thinkspace with Karmic Magic. So dreamy... Her signature muted palette returns, but it's more airy than her Tonight We Travel By Dream show.
