Four distinct artists- Andrew Brandou, The London Police, Redd Walitzki, and Richard J. Oliver– will show alongside each other next Saturday at CHG Circa. Simply titled “FOUR”, their collective show ranges in a variety of styles and themes that portray ethereal environments. Notably, this exhibit is Redd Walitzki’s (covered here) Los Angeles debut of her enchanting laser cut paintings. Her images seem to evaporate into their flowery borders, representing her subject’s own subconcious. Andrew Brandou also plays with a floral motif, the chrysanthemum, in his paintings of a cartoony world of friendly Buddahs and bunnies. His roots in animation shine through in his vibrant and graphic line work. The London Police compliment these with a new series of graphic paintings, while Richard J. Oliver offers perhaps the darkest images of sorrowful young girls playing out a tragic fairytale.

“FOUR” featuring new work by  Andrew Brandou, The London Police, Redd Walitzki, & Richard J. Oliver opens at CHG Circa, on February 14th, 2015.

The colors of autumn are beautiful, but the season represents the cycle of life which must come to an end each year. This moment between summer and autumn is one where life and death are in harmony, a moment that inspired Modern Eden Galery's current exhibition, "Verdant". Co-curated by artist Redd Walitzki, featured here on our blog, the exhibit portrays this clash of seasonal abundance with decay. Although Redd Walitzki is not a participant herself, the show does have a taste of her lush and darkly romantic style in works by: Kari-Lise Alexander, Lauren Marx, Lori Nelson, JeanPaul Mallozzi, Lioba Brückner, Jana Brike, Leilani Bustamante, Nicomi Nix Turner, Steve Ferrera, Helen Bayly, Stephanie Pui-Mun Law, Hannah Yata, Syd Bee, Michael Ramstead, Jillian Dickson, and Stephanie Jucker, to name a few.
Artists Soey Milk and Joey Remmers were on hand to celebrate their side by side openings at CHG Circa on Saturday. Newly graduated from Pasadena Art Center, Soey Milk was in especially high spirits- her paintings are the culmination of an "unhurried journey" to becoming a fulltime artist. Her solo exhibition "Sinavro" (previewed here) embodies focus and uncertainty that any budding artist might experience. Milk's brush tells us her story, as rocky as her impressionistic strokes which meet points of detail. Her women appear strong and confident in their boldy colored robes, decorated with traditional Korean motifs. Underneath, hints of nudity add an element of carefreeness and mystery that tempt the viewer.
"I think listening to some songs can be a lot like looking at a painting. The meaning can vary greatly depending on who's listening and what they're feeling at the time and where they're at in their lives. I love the idea of something being so open to interpretation," shares Nate Frizzel on his recent show at CHG Circa, "Dark Was The Night". The show borrows very loose inspiration from 1920s gospel song, “Dark is the Night". It is what paved the direction Frizzel wanted to go in. The rest, he leaves to the beholder.

On August 15th, New York welcomed a new gallery, Haven Gallery, with their inaugural exhibition inspired by the idea of safe havens. Their first group of artists have wide ranging styles, many sharing whimsical qualities: Matt Dangler, Kukula (HF Vol. 7), Kari-lise Alexander, Nicomi Nix Turner, Dan Quintana (HF Vol. 27), Shaun Berke, Tom Bagshaw, Naoto Hattori (HF Vol. 7), Zoe Byland, Brian Mashburn, Regan Rosburg, Aunia Kahn, Caitlin McCormack, Rose Freymuth-Frazier, Redd Walitzki, and Nom Kinnear King. Their subjects span still life, landscapes, and figurative works, suggesting that refuge can be found both in the physical as well as within oneself.
