Preview of Dalek’s New Geometric Murals for SMOCA

James Marshall aka Dalek (featured in Hi-Fructose vol.15) is in Arizona this week working on an installation at Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art. His new murals are a part of a series intended to transform the entire space which is home to some of Dalek’s artistic influences. His works lead attendees through the museum’s lounge, retail space, and into the courtyard, featuring a collaboration between SMOCA and Scottsdale Public Art. These progress photos show how Dalek uses geometric colored bands to create a connection between the interior and exterior environments. Take a look after the jump.

These progress photos show how Dalek uses geometric colored bands to create a connection between the interior and exterior environments. The bands, interjected with abstract forms, ever so slightly curve with the shape of their surroundings. Warm peaches and pinks invite one into the space while cool yellows and greens compliment the outdoors. Take a look at a preview of the works which will be completed in the week ahead.

Zio Ziegler Continues to Explore the Human Condition in His New Exhibit, “The Psyche’s Gestures”

San Francisco based artist Zio Ziegler (covered here) has an eclectic style; a few of his pieces portray Cubist figures, some more detailed than others, and then there are his more color-based paintings. His art is not cohesive, but rather reflects on his every day life's emotions and moods which flow between feelings of self awareness and bliss. He very much lives in the moment. Ziegler's current solo exhibition at Soze Gallery in Los Angeles, "The Psyche's Gestures," takes a look at these different sides of the psyche.

Yayoi Kusama Brings Her Immersive Mirror Rooms to London

Yayoi Kusama's art is in London this month as part of a new exhibition at the Victoria Miro gallery. Her internationally known work is obsessive and overwhelming, presenting the world as a polka-dotted dream land, featured in Hi-Fructose Vol 25. The word "extraordinary" is overused in writing about contemporary art but we can make an exception for Kusama, who has been selected as one of TIME Magazine's World's 100 Most Influential People for conquering both the art and fashion world. "Dots are a symbol of the world, the cosmos; the earth is a dot. The sun, the moon, the stars are all made up of dots. You and me, we are dots," she once said.

Mike Lee Further Simplifies His Toy-like Characters in New Works

In drawing the world around him, New York based artist Mike Lee conveys a simple and playful essence of his subjects, whether they be people, buildings, or objects. Featured here on our blog, the artist's intriguing drawings of miniaturized scenes have often been compared to a child's Playmobil or Lego playsets. In these new versions of his subjects, Lee further simplifies the human form, isolating them from their toy-like environments and focusing instead on finding expression through minimalism.

Barry McGee and Todd James Collaborate on New Works in “FUD”

V1 Gallery in Copenhagen is currently hosting a two men show featuring Barry McGee and Todd James. Ever since they created "Street Market" together with Steve Powers at New York City's Deitch Projects in 2000, the two have exhibited together several times. Among others, they exhibited at the 2001 Venice Biennale, 2004 "Beautiful Losers" group exhibition, and the L.A. MOCA "Art in the Streets" in 2011. V1 Gallery has been supporting both artists through that entire time, and "FUD" is their second double-show with the gallery. Read more after the jump.
