Walrus TV Artist Feature: Doze Green Interview

I love Doze. And I am happy to see him drop knowledge and tell his story. My favorite quote... "Fuck being clever. Fuck just being smart. It's about feelings. It's really about destroying, man. About being your own god. And not taking any shorts. Have big balls. Crap your nuts. And say, 'Hey, fuck it'. Don't be afraid, man."

Makes me miss the good old days.

NYC - Ted O'Sullivan's "Reclamation of the Modern Tongue" + Tom Gallant's "two arcs that curve in opposite senses" (10.17.09 - 11.15.09)

TED O’SULLIVAN
Reclamation of the Modern Tongue
 
October 17 – November 15, 2009
Opening Reception: Friday, October 16, 6-8pm
 
DCKT Contemporary is pleased to present TED O’SULLIVAN’s first solo exhibition in New York.  O’SULLIVAN’s painting process salvages, expands and reinvents the coded icons and systems of modernity.  Oil, crushed charcoal, marble dust & paper-mâché on canvas create an imapstoed lexicon that subverts the rational philosophy or formal reductivism of the modern to create new verbal and pictorial prophecies.
 

LA - Nate Frizzell's "Lost in the Thicket" (10.17.09 - ?)

'Lost in the Thicket' new work by Nate Frizzell

LeBasse Projects warmly welcomes gallery represented artist Nate Frizzell for his new solo exhibition, Lost in the Thicket. In this much anticipated show, Frizzell introduces new themes of self discovery within his work.

While Frizzell has always striven to create work that speaks about the human condition, Lost in the Thicket finds the artist's scope narrowed to the concept of discovering one's own identity and the obscured paths that follows. As a result, each painting becomes a metaphor for choosing different paths in life, while finding oneself.
