David Brady: Genesis by Brian Fichtner
Before relocating to Los Angeles, David Brady cut his teeth on the Colorado art scene, exhibiting at RULE Gallery, Gallery Sink, the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, and The Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver. Known primarily as a sculptor (in the broadest 21st Century view of the discipline), Brady is to have his second solo exhibition at L.A.'s High Energy Constructs opening tomorrow.
Titled "Genesis," the multidisciplinary exhibition will explore creation and existence through a myriad of materials such as custom wallpaper, bulletproof glass, industrial grade tow chain, acrylic fingernail tips, man-made crystals, and computer-generated models. Combining highly skilled craftsmanship with seductive form, if past work is to be any indication, this new show is a must-see.
Genesis Opening Reception: 2 February 2008, 7-9pm2 February-8 March 2008

Jimenez Lai
A simple description of Jimenez Lai's work is difficult. Taking architectural plans and renderings, the Ohio-based artist brings them into the world of comics, drawings and models in two- and three-dimensions. The juxtaposition exposes the absurdity of CAD in comics and comics in CAD. (Click image for detail.) This isn't the first time Jimenez Lai has been written up but now he's breaking through...

Barnaby Barford: Private Lives
On 11 March 2008, the irreverent ceramic artist Barnaby Barford will be exhibiting a new series of subversive objects at David Gill Galleries in London. The latest collection, "Private Lives," shows Barford treading into uncharted territory, repositioning figures from pop culture and cartoons for his witty mises-en-scènes. A graduate of the Royal College of Art in 2002, Barford has been working with found ceramics...

Two Lines Align: Drawings and Graphic Design by Ed Fella and Geoff McFetridge
I've always been drawn to the ambiguous nature of Geoff McFetridge's graphic design. His distinctive, and highly personal, visual language, built around "logofying ideas," reduce graphical narratives to the point where meaning is largely derived from the viewer's own imagination. Opening this Wednesday at the Redcat Gallery in downtown Los Angeles, an exhibition features his work alongside the veteran visual artist Ed Fella. Fella's...

Swoon: Drown Your Boats
Swoon's first Los Angeles solo exhibition, "Drown Your Boats" opens tomorrow, 16 February 2008 at New Image Art. Partially inspired by Angela Carter's collection of short stories "Burning Your Boats," which reinterprets traditional tales and twists the mundane, you can see the connection as Swoon work combines glimpses of everyday life, legends and variations on mythic themes in her own graceful style. Over the...

David Capra: Nativity
Australian artist David Capra has an exhibition kicking off at Sydney's Mori Gallery this week . Titled Nativity, the show will feature "a garden of pom poms, rainbow paper towers, lakes of melted wax, caves of crinkled-up paper and Barbie dolls dressed as Catholic saints." It was inspired by a recent year long excursion Capra took through Europe: "I came across many nativity scenes...

The Burning House
I was recently in L.A. for the weekend and was lucky enough to catch “The Burning House,” a collaborative installation by Faile, Swoon and David Ellis at New Image Art now extended through 17 March 2007. Walking into the gallery is overwhelming. Much like Wooster on Spring, Every inch of wall, window, or door has been wheat pasted or painted over. (Click above image...
