Massachusetts-based artist Caleb Neelon is staging his first West Coast exhibition, "Caleb Neelon Is Working On It" at West Hollywood's Carmichael Gallery opening this weekend. The solo show includes several variations of his groupings of multi-colored Beech leaves against brushy backgrounds and marks, in Neelon's own words, "a new and very personal direction for me."

In conjunction with the show, the artist is also painting a mural on a nearby building (see below).
In addition to his prolific fine art work, he was the author and illustrator of the children's book, "Lilman Makes a Name for Himself," co-authored "Street World," and has a new book of his art coming out this year through Ginko called "Caleb Neelon's Book of Awesome."

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'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...

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....
