RVCA

RVCA Presented another amazing show at Known Gallery last night. “Excavated Revelations” had work from 7th Letter Artists Zes and Retna. Make it over to Known Gallery on Fairfax for yourself.

It’s the release of his new print “Bone Trot” – a 15″x12″ giclée with hand-painted colors. Available in four editions of 10.
What Matt had to say about this print:

” I’ve always had little skeleton dudes that I called family members of messengers of death in my work. These two are little benign ones as they are not old enough to posses a working death card and just frolic about and act as nosy children do.” – Matt Gordon

Just prior to the show’s closing, the RVCA staff was graciously given a private guided tour of Art In The Streets by gallery director, Jeffrey Deitch and ANP Quarterly Editor, Aaron Rose. With so many RVCA ANP contributors in the show, it was an amazing opportunity to see their work displayed on a stage of this scale.

The September issue of Juxtapoz has just been released and I feel honored to be featured in the magazine with some well respected artists and friends of mine, including INSA, Richard Colman, KC Ortiz and Pose.

The September issue of Juxtapoz is kind of like the All-Star Game. You have Retna, Jeffrey Deitch, INSA, Richard Colman, KC Ortiz, Pose, Allyson Mellberg, and Jamie Caliri all in there just in time for back to school and back to work and whatever “fall” back things you have going on. Our newsstand cover, Los Angeles based fine artist, Retna, is introduced in a special piece by new MOCA director and former gallerist, Jeffrey Deitch. We caught up with subscriber-cover INSA in London, jumped around California with Richard Colman, and went to Chicago to eat the best hot dogs money can buy with Pose and KC Ortiz. And somewhere on rural hill in the South, we found Allyson Mellberg. There is more, but you have to read it to find that out. (via Juxtapoz)

Heres a Video that the Viejas Del Mercado put together, Im always fascinated with the quality of the work they put together.
