A Group Show at Angles Gallery.

Took a quick artwalk through Culver City last night and checked out some pieces old and new on exhibition. Each room at Angles Gallery contains selected works by the aforementioned artists above and they fit perfectly within the space…of our living room.

See for yourself until September 3rd.

Haley’s Art Show At Pop

peaceinvisible — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 17:22:46 +0000

Painted antlers and baked mini deer heads galore!

My buddy Haley had an opening at Pop Gallery in Culver City on Friday night. By the time I caught the end of the show there was a flurry of red dots on the walls. Success!

The Many Faces of John Baldessari

peaceinvisible — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 21:48:46 +0000

I finally got around to going to the LACMA (it’s only been 4 years that I’ve lived here).

John Baldessari has a multi-room exhibition in the contemporary art wing titled, “Pure Beauty.” A lot of it pokes fun at the silliness of the contemporary art world. I can’t help but point out that he sometimes falls into his own trap. Either way, as many bold artists’ works go, some of John Baldessari’s collection is really enjoyable…and some is simply not. See for yourself, at LACMA until September 12.

Brooke Shaden is Searching Rooms

peaceinvisible — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 18:58:22 +0000

A lot of the photographers that I follow on Flickr seem to have similar tastes in the simple realism of a snapshot. I haven’t quite delved into the fantasy world of illustrative photography enough, but while scratching the surface, it is hard to overlook the bold, beautiful, and disturbing work of Brooke Shaden. Mrs. Shaden, 23, is a local Angelino photographer – still considered “new” to the craft after only having a few years to her portfolio.

This is an example of an artist that simply gets it. She captures photographs of herself and others, then “paints” a story on top. Brooke is influenced by various works of gothic art, fables, poetry, and tends to recreate a chosen moment from the tale of her liking.

The photograph above is her illustration of Pans Labyrinth. Take a gander at her blog for more information on her work and how she dreams up these surreal devices from the imagination onto digital canvas.

Roman & Williams

peaceinvisible — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 00:09:31 +0000

“It’s a shame to only have dreams at night. You should have a few opportunities during the day.”

This wistful quote from Stephen Alesch speaks volumes about the spaces he and Robin Standefer create as architects and designers. Their firm Roman & Williams, is named for their grandparents, paying homage to another era. Together, they draw on the evocative moods, textures, and meaningful objects that linger somewhere between past and present. Their work is infused with memory and allows participants to connect with a more romantic and important time.

Alesch still renders all of their presentations by hand, a skill he has preserved and honed from an early age. Standefer evolved her skills as a painter into creating sets for the likes of Scorsese. As a team they have developed an approach to creating buildings and interiors that reveres craft and tradition, combined with a contemporary viewpoint. This unique vision has lead to a number of important public and private projects including the Ace Hotel, The Standard Hotel, and 211 Elizabeth.

A FULL-CG animated piece that tries to illustrate architecture art across a photographic point of view where main subjects are already-built spaces.

Sometimes in an abstract way. Sometimes surreal.

Paper Boat

peaceinvisible — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 19:36:50 +0000

We made a paper boat and sailed into the night.

Faye and I made good use of a rainy day this weekend. She constructed the little boat and I shot the piece at dusk with the 7D.

I think this is predicting a recurring event that shall take place: weekly vignettes by justin+faye?

Music by Sam Cooke.

Endorsement: Pulse Concept by Teague

peaceinvisible — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 17:47:04 +0000

Design firm, Teague, has a concept out for their version of how Tron’s Light Cycles could be a way of the future.

Although it doesn’t exist yet, I endorse this technology as a way for urban cyclists to be seen/scene.

The system comes equipped with LED piping, lit handlebars and pedals, and turn signals.

Let’s get it done. Queue rich swedish buyer, now.

Endorsement: Eames Lounge and Ottoman

peaceinvisible — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 17:39:09 +0000

Originally designed by the Eames brothers in the mid-1950′s, the Lounge & Ottoman is still a striking contribution to the modern den.

Like a classic porsche or a rare wine, this item will have to be well earned with age.

So, dust off the old Iliad and take a seat, but you’ll most definitely fall asleep just seconds after sinking into this soft leather cocoon

Find vintage, if you’re lucky.

Dwell Magazine: An Interior Digest

peaceinvisible — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 21:50:10 +0000

My special other is a wizard with interior design. She inspires me in how I’d like to live in the home.

Since Domino Magazine went under, she chooses Dwell for her interior digest.

Not to say it is a bible, but more a supplement for guidance.

Oh, and it tells us poor folk how to get down, too…
