Tim Kerr’s What Does Color Have to Do with Education!?!
Here’s a piece by Austin artist Tim Kerr who will be in Los Angeles, January 28th for Rich Jacob’s upcoming solo show at New Image Art Gallery as well as to paint some murals at an elementary school, which has no official art program right now, in Watts. They currently have one teacher who is teaching kids art, which the school isn’t offering. Big props to Eric Caruso. I’ll be bringing some pictures of that mural!

NECK FACE & FUCK THIS LIFE AT NEW IMAGE ART
HOLLYWOOD, CA: New Image Art is proud to announce the coming together of artist Neck Face and New York based “FUCK THIS LIFE”. This union is a recipe for disaster of the most curiously illuminating kind, collaboratively commentating on the harsh and the veiled, the outlawed and the unthinkable.
NECK FACE & FUCK THIS LIFE
NEW IMAGE ART
7-10 PM OPENING RECEPTION | SEPT. 18TH 2011
7908 SANTA MONICA BLVD
LOS ANGELES, CA
Neck Face recently exhibited alongside those considered most influential in American street art culture in MOCA’s Art in the Streets exhibition. The event reintroduced the performer in Neck Face, whose portrayal of a down and out alley dweller brought him the first mention in the New York Times review of the graffiti and street art retrospective. His Halloween show openings have become notable charades celebrating the lurid and the ghastly complete with a haunted house entrance staged along with his family. Neck Face’s aptitude for multi-media has also been seen in the production of metal masks, paper-maché sculptures and film. For this unique character and international figure of street culture, the true triumph lies in the pure harmony between his examination of the villain, the rogue and the nightmare and his unfaltering wit and fresh approach. This time in Amerika’s 2 Most Wanted, Neck Face’s unmistakable illustrative style is maintained in the expansion of his medium to charcoal drawings. Also exhibiting his brilliantly colored guache and ink paintings, these works begin their development with scrawls on napkins with a bar maid’s breast-pocket pen - parody’s of his own tailoring, drawn from cartoons to current events of all denominations.
FUCK THIS LIFE has participated in The New York Art Book Fair at MoMA PS1 with his well-known street culture ‘zine. Several published anthologies deep - FUCK THIS LIFE also has a haphazard initiation of his own process – collecting discarded remains of newspapers (and other less savory publications) off the ground and scouring them for applicable images. The ensuing collages reveal themes of fate, tragedy, brutality and the human condition. In spite of the staggering trauma, main-stream hypocrisy and sensationalism represented in FUCK THIS LIFE’s socially analytical work, there is a stillness and commanding refinement to its assembly. New Image Art is honored to exhibit these full color original images for the first time.
A coalescence of eerie irony and macabre humor underpin this duo’s social interpretation.
Judith Supine @ New Image Art
Artist and designer Kime Buzzelli recently went to check out Judith Supine’s show, Ladyboy, at New Image Art Gallery in Los Angeles, CA. Brooklyn-based artist Judith Supine is known for his use of “ hyperactive imagination to merge images of people, pornography and design elements. He describes his materials as “free or at least really cheap”: X-Acto knife, glue sticks, low-cost paint, thrown-out books, and magazines — whether sourced from the trash, the public library, the dentist’s office, or bankrupt porn shops.”
Read and see the rest of the photos from the opening on Kime’s blog, The Molly Dolly.
