Harmony turned me onto this collective from Belgium recently. Everything I’ve seen them do is sincere. I’m into it. See more here.
Noah Davis
Jan 25 2011 / by al moran
I was fortunate enough to spend some time with a talented young painter named Noah Davis in his studio yesterday. There’s so much energy in LA right now that I’m getting tempted to switch coasts. You’ll be seeing more of Noah, soon.
Baxter Finley

Spent some time with some friends at Baxter Finley today and was totally blown away by these chairs from the early 1900s. Next time you’re in LA do yourself a favor and pass by even if it’s just to see the space. Very cool.

Good recap of my Art Basel Island project here. I’m really glad people enjoyed this project. It was a memorable experience for all those that made it out there. The sculptures pictured above were Terence’s contribution titled Two Lovers.

I was turned on to Nick’s work this year and instantly became a huge fan. What he’s doing with sculpture is inventive and feels very fresh. His use and choice of materials is intelligent and well thought out. Nick is definitely an artist to keep your eye on. See more of his work here.

DIRTY OLD TOWN

If you’re in London around the 27th and 28th don’t miss the screenings of Captured and Dirty Old Town by director Dan Levin. Both films are beautifully made and both are true DIY independent films.
NECK FACE - JUST IN
Oct 13 2010 / by al moran
Just saw the final Neck Face watercolors for his LA show. I’ve been laughing for the past half hour. Really solid and witty work. These are two images from a comic strip painting containing a total of six images. You have to see all six to get the whole story but these two images give you some insight into the work. Can’t wait for Hallowen night.
