| — Josh Keyes is riding a tsunami wave of success. His work has appeared in multiple galleries over the past three years including David B. Smith gallery and Joshua Liner gallery, as well as on the covers of both Hi-Fructose and Juxtapoz within the past 8 months. At the heart of this success is a man focused on reconnecting with nature via his minimalist yet emotive new paintings featured in his solo show ‘Fragment’ at Jonathan LeVine gallery in NYC.The ten new works were created in Keyes’s signature style; acrylic on 30 x 40 inch wooden panels that show the joining of natural and man made landscapes, floating within blank white space. The diverse wildlife species are often depicted in a context that suggests the contradictions of apocalyptic threat and enlightened transformation. The realistic rendering of the animals serves, as a reminder of the future that these portraits suggest is possible; a world in which people no longer exist.

Super Wonderful(Gallery) will open Friday, February 12 at 1992 San Marco Boulevard, right next to the San Marco Theater. Super Wonderful was established by Kyle Lemstrom, local artist and manager of the San Marco Theater. The first show will run from February 12 – 26 and will feature local artist including: Matt Allison, Clay Doran, Barrett Fiser, Tonya Lee, Kyle Lemstrom, and Jen Morgan. With a name like Super Wonderful, it has to be great.
Pop-up galleries have been happening across the country as stores close and landlords look for inventive ways to get tenants in their empty spaces. Locally downtown has seen the rise of pop-up galleries like NullSpace and 229 Hogan. There have been whispers about the San Marco merchants starting an Art Walk. Maybe with the addition of Super Wonderful, those whispers will become a reality. Super Wonderful will bring a new vibrancy to the Square for 2010.-BG

Whats up everyone! Brian Gray here! If ya havent noticed I’ve been sort of slacking on the posts lately here at the OB. I’ve been working on a new series of paintings to celebrate the remake of Alice in Wonderland by Tim Burton. I’m super excited to see the film and am looking forward to the release in early March. I’ve decided to do a whole series of paintings based on my perception of the characters in Alice in Wonderland. The movie comes out in March and I’ll have a showing on the first Friday in April at Avondale Artworks here in Jax. I’m working on flyers, sketches,food, painting,drinks, and the usual stuff that goes into an art show. Ken at Avondale Artworks has been super cool and its really nice of him to give me some space to show my work. The show will be titled ”Malice in Wonderland”…has a nice ring to it. Really I’m surprised I have not attempted any art work based on Alice. The whole story and style of work fits me like a glove. I have a few basic sketches done up on my website now if ya care to take a peek. Keep an eye out on my site for updates on my progress and what nto. Check it out at www.bgrayart.com -PEACE OUT!-bg
