ART TODAY 09.22.17: Bugatti at the “LA Auto Show” – Tomorrow, meet the man behind the art and view recent works by Harold Cleworth
One of my favorite restaurants in LA is Shima on Abbot Kinney. The restaurant displays several of my originals and not only do they have good taste in art, but they have the best sushi ever.
ART TODAY 09.23.17: Disney’s El Capitan in Hollywood, CA (animation) – “Cinderella’s Premiere” by Harold Cleworth
Harold James Cleworth is perhaps the most well known automotive artist working today. Born in the industrial North of England during the Second World War, he quickly developed a love for the aesthetics of machinery, and began painting the local Orwellian landscape. Several one-man shows were held in local pubs and libraries during his teenage years.
ART TODAY 09.26.17: “Fresh from the Easel” art by Erin Hanson, from Mendocino and Napa Valley to East Coast Travels
I recently returned from an exploratory trip to Mendocino and Napa Valley. I spent a week photographing early morning light and long afternoon shadows. I have created a few new paintings already that I am eager to share.
ART TODAY 09.29.17: Moon Fruit by Molly Kirschenbaum aka Moollz with podcast interview by Natalie Durkin
This was the cover art for my first EP! I put this one in here because I have always felt a very strong connection to the moon, and I think it represents a very strong energy for a lot of my friends, as well. I also have always loved children’s book illustrations, which inspired this cover. Making this was definitely one of those “what if” pieces for me, where I just kind of let my imagination do its thing. What if you peeled open the moon and there was a 14.6 million square mile kiwi inside?
ART TODAY 10.01.17: Getting to know photographer Aline Smithson, who is funny as heck, and whose work has been featured in NY Times, The New Yorker, et al. – and now TLA mag
In my ideal scenario, I would be relaxing in a villa near a coast in Italy. I would have a chef to make amazing pasta and I would nap and read and swim and photograph. In reality, when I’m tired, I lie on the couch, catch up on a myriad of shows, many admittedly on Bravo, while surfing Ebay for some treasure. Oddly, surfing Ebay makes me relax. A vodka tonic is close at hand, and the ubiquitous guacamole.
THE BOOK – SELF & OTHERS, THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY BY ALINE SMITHSON, PRONOUNCED AL (RHYMES WITH PAL) LEAN SMITH SUN
Created over an almost 20-year span and drawing from 18 bodies of work, this is the first published monograph of Aline Smithson’s work and features her defining series Arrangement in Green and Black: Portrait of the Photographer’s Mother. From black-and-white to hand-painted photographs, this collection of portraits combines humor and family to create a universal expression of motherhood, to capture the essence of childhood, and to examine created realities, the poignancy of childhood, and the pathos of aging and relationships.
ART TODAY10.06.17: Aline Smithson (who teaches photography) gives Inspiration and Advice to photographers via podcast
The series with my mother, Arrangement in Green and Black, has been my favorite work as a photographer. It launched my career and continues to be exhibited and published around the world for well over a decade. She would be amazed where her photographs have been featured: Russia, China, Korea, France, Spain, Poland, Germany and all over the US.
ART TODAY 10.7.17: The entire TribeLA Magazine Acrostic Interview with fine-art photographer Aline Smithson
I make almost all of my photographs close to home, with the exception of a few series. I shoot against my garage and throughout my house. I have a pink office where I surround myself with inspiration. But most of my creativity comes from inside my head, not in a room, pulled from a deep well of influences.
ART TODAY 10.9.17: “The Pink Show” is not your ordinary Art Exhibit – it is daring, diverse, and curated by three outstanding art directors and one is Artist William Wray (Pretty In Pink)
H/I Art Advisory works to connect artists with collectors and organizations that help to further their career. Though we are based in Los Angeles, we partner with foundations and organizations on a global level to increase the visibility of artists whose careers have been outside of the institutional norm, thereby helping to redefine the manner by which new art is accepted and shown.”
ART TODAY 10.10.17 The Pink Pop-up Show defines a new way of looking at Art – Check out David Lipson and Sean Cheatham
Modern art museums generally favor a guiding principle of idea based art, rarely considering contemporary representational as worthy of display along side conceptual installation, which can lead to marginalization of work with strong technical skill sets.
ART TODAY 10.11.17 The Pink pop-up Show represents harmony in the art world – “My Gun is Pink” by co-curator and view sample works by Pink artists Pablo Llana & Wyatt Mills
Can we retire a conflict of art ideals that's not particularly worth upholding after all these years? It would seem like an art Gallery might be that place to start to let go of old beefs. That's usually where we go with the stated intension to relax and enjoy a day or night out anyway, recharge the art batteries and be inspired.
