Thinkspace gallery redefines the word ‘FRESH’ with their latest group exhibition of the same name, opening this Saturday. Featuring new works by some of their favorite Contemporary artists, the show promises to not only show off their talents, it’s also a glimpse into their state of creativity and growth.  Among the participants are Joanne Nam (covered here), Alex Yanes, Bec Winnel, Ariel DeAndrea, Erica Rose Levine, Kikyz 1313 and Matthew Grabelsky, featured here. Their new works are diverse in terms of style and medium; Joanne Nam zooms in on her girls in dark forests to focus on their facial expressions, which appear newly childlike. Alex Yanes continues his engaging three dimensional pieces with added humor and playfulness. Erica Rose Levine offers new portraits of glamourous women with a strong sense of femininity. Kikyz 1313 creates companions for his macabre drawings of animals in mid-decay. Eric Siador will also exhibit his latest work in “Subconscious Mathematix” in the gallery project room. The list goes on, but for any fan of these artists, it’s an exploration to where their work is headed, just as insightful as it is eclectic.

“FRESH” is on view at Thinkspace Gallery from October 11 through October 25, 2014.

The colorful works of Hawaii native Ekundayo (HF Vol. 9) combine surrealism with influences from his graffiti days. His paintings sometimes lean on the nightmarish, as in his portrayal of anthropomorphic subjects in haunting scenes. On Saturday, he will debut a new series with "Collective Reflections" at Thinkspace gallery in Los Angeles. Ekundayo describes his solo as a "gift to that feeling I know we all connect to when reaching deep within ourselves." Check out our preview after the jump!

Artists Seth Armstrong and Erik Jones share a fresh sense of drama in their new works, which will debut at Thinkspace Gallery this Saturday. Seth Armstrong's solo exhibition "The Air is Thick", accompanied by Erik Jones' "Color/Full", immediately sets the tone with his cinematic oil paintings. His images of lit up sky rises, mexican wrestlers, cowboys gathered around a campfire, and nudes in a mysterious desert all make theatrical references. Armstrong's title refers to the air of anticipation or tension he implements into each. Take a look at our preview of both shows after the jump.
“Gravities” is certainly an apt moniker for the works of Cinta Vidal, whose acrylic images on wood offer something to ingest at every angle. Take “Together Alone,” above, a collection of narratives that are at once harmonious and disparate. The artist has said she tries “to attach importance to every point of view, and to create more than only one outstanding scene in each painting.” Vidal was featured in Hi-Fructose Vol. 36, and she can be found on Instagram here.
For five years in a row, Beyond Eden Art Fair in Los Angeles has been like an oasis of collaboration in an increasingly competitive market and growing contemporary art scenes. Over the course of that time, galleries have come and gone, but Thinkspace Gallery, Copro Gallery, C.A.V.E. Gallery, and San Francisco’s Spoke Art galleries have remained a central part of the event. Well over 5,000 people were in attendance at the fair's final installment this past weekend at the historic Barnsdall Art Park. This year's event was as eclectic as ever, featuring works spanning Graffiti, Abstract, Surrealism, and other pop-culture influenced styles.
