LA Ink: LA Ink Star Says She's "Not An Amazing Tattoo Artist"

Sat, 17 Mar 2012 00:42:26 -0500

The TLC reality television series LA Ink, a spin-off of its predecessor series Miami Ink, has managed to grant its cast of tattoo experts a certain degree of popularity. However, resident shop manager Pixie Acia is averse to the idea of making any grand claim to that fame. She says that while being on the show has made her more easily recognizable, she doesn't consider it an accurate measure of how well-known she is. During an interview, the -year-old veteran of the body art industry recalled how the people around her kept asking her about the effects of fame, just from being on the show. Acia said that she considered it amusing because she did not view it as being about real fame. She claimed that people didn't recognize her because she had, in her own words, any amazing talent. Acia further went on to say that she was not an amazing tattoo artist, nor an actress of note, and that she never really aspired towards the performing arts in that respect. She also said that it felt some...

An Artist's Quest to Reviving Antique Mirrors

Thu, 15 Mar 2012 00:36:41 -0500

Reviving a vanishing art form has become a passion and a business for Leucadia artist Roderick Treece, owner of RLT Custom Glass Signs and Mirrors in Leucadia, California. Utilizing both nineteenth century techniques and modern technology Roderick creates one-of-a-kind antique mirrors. Part of what makes each piece unique is that the artwork is in the mirror, it's not just a mirror in an elaborate frame. Indeed, his custom mirrors feature a broad range of textures, colors and finishes. "I can make a mirror look as if it has been passed down for generations." The wonders of history and travel have always inspired artists. Travels to Portugal, Latin America, Italy and Indonesia clearly influence Rod''s ability to creating unique antique mirror designs. The back painted glass of the Caf Florin in Venice, the guilded signs of the Ponte Vecchio in Florence, and the glass art of Bali, compelled Rod to research and revive these glass techniques that were in danger of becoming obsolete...

Scam Artist or Ethical Stock Broker?--How You Can Tell the Difference

Mon, 12 Mar 2012 09:19:02 -0500

The quickest way to tell if your stock broker is a scam artist, using your account for broker profits rather than yours, is to look for evidence of "churning." Say you have just opened a stock brokerage account and your broker puts you into Fast Buck Industries as your very first "investment." You get your first statement and see that she has traded Fast Buck three times. You also note several stocks listed that you had not discussed. It's only unethical or illegal if you get caught, is often the rationale.You ask a few knowledgeable people, who know a little something about the stock brokerage business as well as stock scams, and they feel that your new broker is a scam artist who is "churning," buying and selling for your account--frequently--in order to generate more income for herself through increased commissions. A shark is the only fish that can blink with both eyes, you might note, as you try to fit applicability to scam artists.This practice--"churning"--occurs more often ...

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 00:11:21 -0600

Born in Seattle in , Stockholder grew up in Vancouver, British Columbia. She studied in the s with sculptor Mowry Baden, whose architectural constructions from that period suggest bridges or passageways and other spaces through which the spectator moves. Baden's commitment to physically involve the viewer in articulated arrangements of materials in space had a lasting influence on Stockholder. Originally a painter, she progressed from unstretched canvases to painted reliefs of cloth, wood and other materials before making her first large-scale installation in . She received an MFA from Yale University in and lived in Brooklyn from until . She is currently director of graduate studies in sculpture at Yale.Stockholder's works consistently encourage movement around them and entice the spectator to peer behind them.

German Artist David Noonan at The Saatchi Gallery

Thu, 16 Feb 2012 08:10:13 -0600

David Kordansky Gallery is pleased to present the first Los Angeles solo exhibition by the London based, Australian born artist David Noonan. Historical imaginations, invented memories, bohemianism and late th century British theatre inspire David Noonan's installation of large-scale screen prints, collages and bronze sculptures.David Noonan brings together an eclectic array of found imagery - sourced from film stills, books, magazines, and archive photos - to create dramatic scenes that suggest surreal narratives. These collages are then photographed and turned into large-scale screen prints, a technique remarkable for its sumptuous finish that relates to both artistic authenticity and mass media. Printed in harsh contrast black and white, Noonan's images encapsulate the romanticism of golden age cinema, and its associations to memory, fiction, and modern mythology.Noonan presents a fabricated vision that is awesome in its complexity. Using the liturgy of art itself as a departure ...

German Artist Thomas Helbig at The Saatchi Gallery

Sun, 05 Feb 2012 03:00:48 -0600

Thomas Helbig's paintings are often derived from images and methodologies gleaned from instructional art books. Half-completing the lessons, Helbig omits the final stages: his canvases, suggestive of landscapes or portraits, become longing abstractions based equally in aesthetic impression and subversive formulation. Braun Welle depicts a virgin land evoking the sublime engagement with nature found in The Hudson School's new world paintings. Devoid of picturesque detail, Helbig envisions a barren terrain, offering dystopian promise.Thomas Helbig's paintings approach abstraction with a quirky intimacy. Set in wonky hand-made frames, his canvases exude a contemplative authority, broaching high culture with folk craft. Reminiscent of the black forms of Robert Motherwell or Franz Kline, Maschine resurrects modernist principles of artistic autonomy, creating a unique platform in which Helbig engages with art and history in a personal way. Expressionistically rendered in chalky tones, Maschi...

German Artist Jorg Immendorff at The Saatchi Gallery

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 00:07:07 -0600

Born in , Immendorff was of the generation that experienced post-war disillusionment that politicized every waking moment. As a student in the s, he faced the task of examining Germany's tragic history and its fraught relationship with modernity. This forced him to devise a balancing act between eras.Jrg Immendorff's large canvases are often fraught with the imagery of a literal theatre of decadence. His stage-set compositions allude to the illusionary aspects of art, presenting a script of personal mythology that is often poignant, humorous, scathing and prophetic.Myth-making is at the core of Jorg Immendorff's work. Political iconography, such as the German eagle, Soviet sickle and Socialist Worker's fist, mix quite literally with his ever expanding cast of characters, including both politicians and artist friends. At the heart is a rewriting of history - both political and artistic - where personal positioning and moral reconciliation are at the forefront.Jorg Immendorff'...

About Kevin Appel - A German Artist

Sun, 29 Jan 2012 00:05:30 -0600

Kevin Appel transformed the main gallery space at Angles into an airy, light-filled modern domestic interior through the magic of traditional paint on canvas and linear perspective. Four paintings all , one on each of the gallery's four walls, depict views from a skylit interior courtyard of an imaginary house designed by the artist and resembling the Case Study houses built in Los Angeles in the s and 's. Representing views toward the north, south, east and west, the paintings were hung on walls corresponding to these directions. The gallery space doubled as the courtyard, and the perspectival vistas were consistent with one another, especially as the viewer stood in the center of the gallery, pivoting to face each painting. Perspective, of course, is contingent upon the eye of the beholder; and this is painting that clearly takes respectful account of its viewers.With a pale, cool palette of blues, greens, creams and white, Appel delineates crisp spaces articulated by box...

About Eva Rothschild - A German Artist

Sat, 21 Jan 2012 00:13:26 -0600

The Irish artist Eva Rothschild b. , lives and works in London has attracted attention over the past few years with objects made out of such materials as leather, paper and Plexiglas, indicating a "renewed" preoccupation on the part of a young generation of artists with the three-dimensional object. Last year the Whitechapel Art Gallery launched what they called a new generation of British sculptors.Through the renegotiation and expansion of familiar artistic idioms and materials, these works re-accentuate the three-dimensional object by elaborating on the formal vocabulary of s art in particular, and "recharging" the third dimension with the transcultural, transmedial codes of contemporary content.Eva Rothschild explores the apprehensive relationship between objective form and new-age spiritualism. Rothschild approaches art as tantamount to a numinous belief system, where functionless objects become receptacles for immaterial sentiment, both inciting and emitting their own m...

Collection of Artist Feng Zhengjie Paintings and Exhibitions

Tue, 17 Jan 2012 00:21:46 -0600

Feng Zhengjie paints striking contemporary women. With their colored hair, richly hued clothes and luscious, expressive lips, the women appear irresistibly dazzling. And yet, the wandering expressions in their eyes render them elusive and enigmatic. In response to the new issues confronting China, Feng Zhengjie decided to take inspiration from the popular images he had grown up with in rural Sichuan. Critics are unanimous in placing Feng's paintings in the realm of the critique of contemporary consumer society this was especially clear in the "Romantic Trip" series, which pictured young couples in the expensive wedding ceremonies now fashionable amongst certain sections of Chinese society.These strange, unknowable eyes have become Feng's signature style. Feng studied to MA level at the Fine Art education department of the Sichuan Academy of Fine Art between and . After , Feng rejected both socialist realism and Western academic art, turning instead to the questions raised...

About Artist Paula Rego History and his Art Work at the Saatchi-Gallery

Thu, 12 Jan 2012 00:14:52 -0600

Paula Rego paints a world of dark fairy tale where childhood stories are thin guises for psycho-sexual intrigue and taboo, where magical realism rules, where nothing is certain except the witchy powers of feminism, and the underlying notion that nothing is as it seems.Paula Rego recalls that after the Second World War, German refugees turned up in Estoril in Portugal looking for work. Olga was taken on by a Portugese family to teach her native language to their daughter. They suspected that she had something to hide, but her secret was safe with them.Drawing from her own childhood memories, Paula Rego's work illustrates corrupted folklore, where fairytale and horror converge to portray feminine experience. Recalling childhood visits to the movies with her father, Rego's Snow White series appropriates the Disney story with unnerving fictional and autobiographical twists. In Snow White Playing With Her Father's Trophies, Rego uses the allegory of female vanity to underlie a familial pol...
