Joshua Petker, Between Butterflies
April 17th, 2010 (7-10pm)

Corey Helford Gallery
8522 Washington Boulevard
Culver City, CA 90232

“This is my first solo show in over a year and I am really proud of these new paintings. If you are in the Los Angeles area I welcome and encourage you to stop by the show as some of the paintings really need to be seen in person to properly see them. Juxtapoz Magazine listed my exhibition as one of their ‘must-see Showstopper’ shows for April 2010 in the April issue of the magazine. I am very proud of this exhibition and truly hope to share it with you in person on Saturday night. Please come!”

PCP will be attending the show so if you are unable to attend the show,  look for pictures on Monday.

Lazarides Gallery is pleased to announce David Choe’s exhibition, Nothing to Declare. The extremely prolific Choe has been hard at work creating new paintings, drawings, and sculptures for the 8,000 sq ft space in Beverly Hills.

Driven by an unquenchable thirst for life, Choe saps every possible drop of experience – good or bad – out of his tremendous adventures. From incarceration in a Tokyo jail to hitchhiking down the Mississippi River via paddleboat, freight train hopping city to city and hunting for dinosaurs in the Congo jungle, David weaves these encounters into his work projecting a dramatic and fantastical, often sexually explicit, vision of the world.

As one of the most technically proficient artists around today, no media is left untouched.  Utilizing a combination of spray paint, oil, acrylic, watercolor, gouache and urine, Choe works his magic on wood, cardboard, polyurethane and canvas.  From the artist who first exhibited in an ice-cream parlor, expect no less than a sensory melting pot of life seen through his eyes.

“I will take all my love all my hate all my pain all my rage, all my suffering and all my skills and experience I’ve collected over the years everything I’ve learned in every medium from watercolors to oils to spray paint I’m gonna express everything I feel about this city and what it is to live and die and be born again in the city of angels…”          David Choe 2010

More about Amanda Visell’s show this Friday night…

April 7, 2010 – 7:43 PM

From Amanda…

Primeval Love is my first self-invested and self-produced art show. Without official gallery representation in Los Angeles, I believe that I’m in a great position to push this art movement forward towards a more independent artist-driven community.

I created Primeval Love when I started thinking about being a tiny spec in the history of the world, how humans have barely been here, and that the destruction of one civilization is birth for another. This show is one of the possible paths life may have taken on Earth and traces of it can be found in our lives today. This world is void of oppression by men and the female characters are the stewards of natural order.

I have been hands-on in every aspect of this exhibition; there is no middleman translating my art to make it more palatable buyers. I built my career by being accessible to my collectors; and I know that it is 100% because of them that I can spend my days and nights making art.

I chose the Natural History Museum for this exhibition because, while it is a museum of actual creatures that lived on the same spot we are now, it’s easy to become awestruck and think of their world as mythical and something from dreams.
