Subliminal Projects has a new show coming up with new works from Andres Guerrero and Albert Reyes.  These longtime friends have come together for this new show which opens on February 6th.

These two artists have contrasting bodies of work, Reyes’ works often consist of pencil and pen line drawings, while Guerrero paints with bright colors and layers of paint.  Guerrero describes his skull imagery as “symbolic self-portrait representation… a descriptive means of living through death.”  Reyes, work reflects on his experiences in regard to living in Los Angeles, “My view is through the L.A. media, taking in the culture, the people, the vastness of L.A.  No one can escape the Hollywood impact.”

Go check out this show, February 6th- March 6th

“Family First” is a group show that just opened at the White Walls Gallery in San Francisco. Work by artists the gallery has shown and supported over the past few years can be seen; Shepard Fairey, Richard Colman, Henry Lewis, Sylvia Ji, Shawn Barber, Ian Francis, Mike Giant and many others. The show has a killer lineup, and was an opportunity for me to see Shawn Barber and Ian Francis’ work in person for the first time.
