Preview: Seth Armstrong and Erik Jones at Thinkspace Gallery

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.

Esao Andrews, João Ruas and Aaron Horkey Exhibit Decorative Works in “The Gilded Age”

Esao Andrews (HF Vol. 22), João Ruas (HF Vol. 23), and Aaron Horkey are three artists who each share a penchant for stylization and design. Feeling inspired, Aaron Horkey suggested they get together for a new exhibition at Thinkspace Gallery titled "The Gilded Age". The real Gilded Age took place during late 19th century America, coined by writer Mark Twain, who satirized the era as serious social problems masked by a thin gold gilding. Their exhibit embodies the concept of gilding in the artists' unique combination of illustration and graphic design.
