This March LeBasse Projects opens a solo show for Greek artist Alexandros Vasmoulakis but that’s not the only thing keeping us busy. The LBP artists are keeping busy worldwide…

Edwin Ushiro (pictured) opens his first NY solo show with Sloan Fine Art on the 24th. Nate Frizzell also has a solo show, his debut in the UK at Bo.Lee Gallery in Bath. From what I hear, both are already selling their shows on preview so better reach out to the galleries now. Eric Fortune just sold out his mini-show at the High Fructose curated exhibit as well…so better get on the list for his next show with us in October.

Join us in LA this Saturday for:

Next week we open our first pop-up exhibition with “Go East” in New York November 7th. The gallery will be taking over a space in the Lower East Side for a 3 day exhibition featuring Yoskay Yamamoto, Nate Frizzell, Edwin Ushiro, Tessar Lo, Mia, Joao Ruas and Eric Fortune.

We received a few amazing paintings from Eric Fortune just in time to pack them in the crate and take care of some print editions which will debut in NY. The gallery will be producing and releasing new prints from several artists including Yoskay Yamamoto, Nate Frizzell, Joao Ruas, Mia and Eric Fortune.

We hope to see you there. Details on our website or Facebook.

Last Saturday, October 17 a great crowd came out to see Nate Frizzell’s solo show at LeBasse Projects. “Lost in The Thicket” features 15 pieces by the Los Angeles based artist, including both paintings and graphite studies. Frizzell’s work explores the idea of searching for one’s own identity, and in turn, each painting becomes a metaphor for choosing different paths in life. This new body of work really showcases Frizzell’s ability to push himself, both in terms of technical skill and subject matter. For more info on Nate be sure to check out his blog. And take a look at pictures from the show after the jump!

Our friends at Modus Films just sent us this great preview/trailer for Nate Frizzell’s upcoming show this weekend. You can get a few glimpse’s of whats going on as we setup the show and installation earlier this week.

The preview of the show is online already, but you will have to come to the gallery to see all the pieces as we are saving some for those who attend the opening.

After a busy weekend at Beyond Eden we are getting ready for Nate Frizzell’s solo show at the gallery. Frizzell is working on a pretty ambitious install…at least in terms of size…but it fits in nicely with the shows paintings. Hope to see you this Saturday for the opening. We also have the final show in The Kids are Alright tour of young artists. More details on our site…

Bipolar

After Mike Shinoda’s show at JANM we swung over to Tony Alva’s Exhibit A Gallery to see a group show that included work from Tim Biskup, Sas Christian and our own Nate Frizzell and Melissa Haslam.

The gallery has a raucous crowd out back waiting to hear the band play. Not sure of their name, but it was like a young Motley Crue…circa Shout at the Devil era. We spent some time in the offices/vip area as the band teased their hair and put on makeup.

As for the artwork it was certainly an interesting show as artists were asked to do work unlike their usual style. One would hardly recognize most of the work.

LBP artist Nate Frizzell has been popping up a bit in the news. Check out a recent feature on Lifelounge and another quick bit on the LA Times’ new Brand X online. He also just sold another piece at Exhibit A Gallery’s ode to skate legend Tony Alva.

Join us this Saturday at the “Seasonal Change” group exhibition to see a new piece of his as well.

There is a show quietly sneaking up on us here in LA featuring some great artists and based on two legends. Tony Alva is the original bad boy of Venice’s Dogtown and a godfather of skateboarding, Wynn Miller was the man who photographed him from Day 1.

The Detournements of Wynn Miller is a tribute to both by some of art’s best including the always present Shepard Fairey, Shawn Barber, Greg Gossel, Nate Frizzell and a host more. Each artist will be painting their version of a Wynn Miller photograph. Should be very interesting to see what they come up with.

Plus Fairey, Miller and Alva will all be signing new Obey prints for the show. Get one while they are hot.
