More often they seem to come from when I am most awake. – Geoff McFetridge</span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span>Ivory & Black Soho proudly presents “Around Us & Between Us”, the first solo exhibition in London since 2005 by the Los Angeles based artist Geoff McFetridge – A multidisciplinary artist without creative boundaries who’s life work ranges from poetry to installation, painting to graphic design and many other practices in between. For his “Around Us & Between Us” exhibition, Geoff has created a series of 10 new acrylic paintings on canvas on his distinctive and reductive style, giving each different subject the same treatment and refinery.</span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span>In the artist’s own words: Images are central to my painting. The images are varied, while my treatment of them is very consistent. The imagery is refined to a point of anonymous functionality. The paintings are meant to feel as if they were pulled directly from the lexicon.I paint some things because they are things that I have seen, but more importantly, I believe they are things that the viewer has seen. I am painting from life, but not life purely found in the landscape, but the also psychological, mediated, and transcendental world that infects our consciousness.</span></span></span></p> <p><a href="http://urbanartvideos.com/2012/09/14/geoff-mcfetridge-x-around-us/" target="_blank">Watch the Video!</a></p>http://urbanartvideos.tumblr.com/post/31513688624http://urbanartvideos.tumblr.com/post/31513688624Fri, 14 Sep 2012 00:55:25 -0700Geoff McFetridgeIvory and Black<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma9v0iteCZ1qjukm2o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>MICHAEL SIEBEN x VOLCOM</strong></p> <p><a href="http://urbanartvideos.com/2012/09/13/michael-sieben-x-volcom/" target="_blank">Watch the Video!</a></p>http://urbanartvideos.tumblr.com/post/31452852145http://urbanartvideos.tumblr.com/post/31452852145Thu, 13 Sep 2012 00:54:16 -0700Michael SiebenVolcom<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma86i3kA2R1qjukm2o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><strong>ALLISON TORNEROS x HUEMAN NATURE</strong></p> <p><span>Promo for Allison Torneros’ solo show at the </span><a href="http://designmattersla.com/" target="_blank">Design Matters Gallery</a><span> in LA.

It’s processes and concept have been inspired by America’s gun loving culture, corporate behemoths considered “to big to fail”, and a financial meltdown. It has pushed the three of us as artists away from what we have come to identify as our own individual styles along with the tools and mediums we have become used to incorporating into our artistic careers. We’ve traded the more traditional media of oil paints, canvas, and inks for reclaimed billboards, fire stencils, carbon soot emissions, and hand painted assault rifles, as a way of taking what we felt was a more relevant look at today through the scope of our art. This video itself is a movie style trailer come art video, that acts emblematically of our longing to step outside our artistic comfort zones. What we did with the video was a new feel for us in that we did not show the artwork nor do a traditional narrated artist interview but instead looked at the video as a piece of art itself which does less to answer a question and ideally more to inhibit curiosity in the viewer, leaving them with questions on our modern society and potentially life itself.</span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span>“Epilogue”, a show by D young V, Eddie Colla, and Hugh Leeman, opens Saturday, September 8th at 7 p.m. in downtown Los Angeles at Hold Up Art Gallery, 2 blocks south of the Geffen Contemporary MOCA, 358 E. 2nd St. know more, see here epiloguela.com.</span></span></span></p> <p><a href="http://urbanartvideos.com/2012/09/06/leeman-x-v-x-colla-x-epilogue/" target="_blank">Watch the Video!</a></p>http://urbanartvideos.tumblr.com/post/30986211406http://urbanartvideos.tumblr.com/post/30986211406Thu, 06 Sep 2012 00:50:31 -0700D Young VHugh LeemanEddie CollaEpilogueLos Angeles
