<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Erik has a long art history in Chicago going back to his roots in graffiti writing the name "RISK" in the 80's and 90's. He's been creating contemporary work on canvas as well as drawings on paper and other installations for the past two decades, participating in shows at the Hyde Park Art Center, Firecat Projects, the Chicago Cultural Center, CISA Gallery, the Swope Art Museum, and other galleries.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Painter <a href="http://www.dozegreen.com/" target="_blank">Doze Green</a> has been in Chicago the past few weeks working on a block long mural just south of the Morse train station on the CTA's Red Line.

Doze's creative output began with his time with the Rock Steady Crew in NYC in the early 80's and he's continued with his beautiful paintings working out of his studio in northern California.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Here's a great glimpse at his creative process in the studio. This video was completed for a show he had at Jonathan Levine gallery earlier this year.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I've long enjoyed Jim Newberry's music photography for the Chicago Reader but he's also shot for numerous publications like Interview, the New York Times, Rolling Stone, Spin, the London Times, and more. Tonight Friday, Saki Records in Logan Square will open a show of Jim's photographs. With subjects ranging from Paul McCartney to Prince to the Insane Clown Posse, Jim always manages to capture a unique portrait of each artist.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Philadelphia <a href="http://www.alexlukas.com/" target="_blank">artist/printmaker Alex Lukas</a> runs <a href="http://www.cantabpublishing.com/ofnote.html" target="_blank">Cantab Publishing</a>, an independent concern that puts out artist books and zines. One of the projects he's been working on is <em>Of Note, </em>a series of zines documenting the imprint of humans on the built environment. Each issue concentrates on a specific topic documented by b/w photographs and is composed of an 11" x 17" sheet folded over into quarters. Past issues have included ones focusing on scribed names on a large plant, paintings of shoes on a storefront in Miami, and graffiti on rocks. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Alex has just released a new round of issues and is offering them for <a href="https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&SESSION=fxcZMp4_UdlFdAtYgWI3Lj90OL2QsIXI9Nrn6HMOKFsvU7DcqMJYOv3WN3C&dispatch=50a222a57771920b6a3d7b606239e4d529b525e0b7e69bf0224adecfb0124e9b61f737ba21b081983375a38b40b7ec79a0179e3b8dcbd5ee" target="_blank">free through his site for the cost of shipping ($2.00)</a> or you can send him a self-addressed postage paid 6"x9" envelope with $2.00 in postage. Issue #10 features images of tags done with lighters, #11 pictures "poorly blocked stairways", and #12 presents photos of hand painted couches.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I highly recommend ordering these. The topics he concentrates on are the same type of subject matter I enjoy photographing and it's really interesting to see them presented in these tightly focused issues. The spot color on the covers is screenprinted by Alex and each issue is printed in an edition of 150.</span>Oscar Arriolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15861565941990138829noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9709565.post-51741446560771210822012-07-19T20:27:00.001-05:002012-07-19T20:27:16.795-05:00Emmy Star Brown for Sharpie<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I was happy to see that my friend <a href="http://www.emmystarbrown.com/" target="_blank">Emmy Star Brown</a> and her work was chosen for a Sharpie marker commercial.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">One of my all time favorite artists, <a href="http://www.pictureboxinc.com/artists-authors/karl-wirsum" target="_blank">Karl Wirsum</a>, curated a selection of art from the collection of Intuit opening tonight Friday. Seeing their collection through his curatorial eye should make for an appealing show. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">There'll also be a show of over 50 hand built radios and drawings by self-taught artist George Kagan. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">If you've never been to Intuit, tonight would be an excellent time to go. They also have a permanent installation of a recreation of outsider artist Henry Darger's one-room apartment, which was salvaged several years ago. It contains many items from his studio including his original art supplies, fireplace mantel, photos, and artwork.</span><br />

There are several exhibit cases with examples of street art (stickers, drawings, paintings, and stencils) by 40 Chicago artists including Saro, Goons, Cosbe, the Viking, You Are Beautiful, Nick Adam, Klepto, Pooper, Clam Nation, Radah, Don't Fret, Left Hand Wave, Rejoice and more.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">There are two cases with 25 Chicago graffiti magazines and zines from the past 20 years including issues of <i>Chicago Rocks, Volume 1, Caught in the Middle, Grime Time, Pound the Pavement, Crime Pays, Fly Paper</i>, and <i>Klip Art</i>. This is a preview of a larger Chicago graffiti magazine show I'm working on for the next year.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The main portion of the show is a 20-foot wide exhibition case by Chicago street artists <a href="http://niceonestreetart.com/home.html" target="_blank">Nice-One</a> and <a href="http://brooksblairgolden.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Brooks Golden</a>. Incorporating members of DIPSTK (a fictional heavy metal band that Brooks created), this installation features the band backstage after a concert sleeping off a sugar high while giving privy to their dreams. Brooks and Nice-One did a phenomenal job creating the iconic work that fills this huge case.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">If you're in NYC this weekend I would recommend checking out, "Oh No He Didn't!", a show of photographs by Ricky Powell. Known for his street shots taken in the 80's and 90's, as well as his portraits of iconic New Yorkers like Andy Warhol and the Beastie Boys, this show will include both classic shots by Ricky as well as never before seen images.</span><br />

Sculptor Juan Angel Chavez and painter Glenn Goldberg have shows opening tonight at Linda Warren Projects in the West Loop. Chavez will be presenting, "Gone", a series using raw materials from a 19th century Indiana barn that was shot at and burned. I've viewed many his installations over the years, including ones at the Hyde Park Art Center, the new DePaul Art Museum, and the National Museum of Mexican Art. They all had in common the use of found materials and signs but were all put together in vastly different ways. Even though his work is referred to as sculpture, you can enter many of his installations and activate different storylines as you experience the work.</span><div>

With work ranging from installations, the positive "You Are Beautiful" campagin, drawings and more, his work never ceases to amaze.

Each will be in an edition of 50, which equals 1,000 prints total. This should be a really fun show.</span><br />
