Joe Sorren, an old favorite of mine, paints and sculpts dramatic characters and scenes. If you happen to be near the Los Angeles area, you may be able to catch Joe Sorren’s opening this weekend, Saturday, November 6.

Ekundayo is a painter originally from Honolulu, Hawaii and his painting are rich with color, texture and movement; each telling a unique story.
Morning Breath is a creative duo, Doug Cunningham and Jason Noto, working in both art and advertising. These two passions are so well integrated that, at first glance, it can be difficult to know if a piece is art or an advertisement. This is one of my favorite things about their work.
The sculpture of Andrew Lewicki is playful and transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. Ordinary cinderblocks are replaced with giant concrete lego blocks. An ordinary manhole cover becomes a delicious, iconic cookie.
In complete contrast from yesterday’s post, Leopold van de Ven creates sculpture with minimal color drawing attention to the construction of the object.
Chris Trueman delivers an explosion of color, line and texture in his most recent paintings. I first featured Chris Trueman’s work in 2008 when his style was more geometric and controlled. While Trueman’s current style still includes geometric elements, the paint is more fluid and energetic.
I absolutely love the artwork of REMED and I have to thank RQM for showing this to me. RQM is a talented Berlin MC that collaborated with REMED on COLORS FADE, LIGHT GOES ON to create a great mosaic piece made up of 84 7″ records. REMED feels like an art superstar, slinging out amazing artwork regularly, on the street and in the gallery.
Henrique Oliveira uses recycled “Tapumes” (sidings made of plywood in english) to create his sculpture and installations. Full of texture, color and movement, these pieces reflect a work path he chose while in school.
Dennis Feddersen thinks big and his sculpture truly invades the space it occupies. Indoors or outside, his sculpture installations force their way into view as they overtake the surrounding environment. There is an uncomfortable beauty that I find in these installations as they seem playfully dangerous.
