Sour Harvest

We’re excited to welcome Damon Soule to Los Angeles this coming week. ‘Modus Alone’ will be the artist’s first solo show in Los Angeles following successful solo shows in SF and NYC. Soule’s paintings and drawings have been featured in group and solo exhibitions in such established galleries as Joshua Liner Gallery (NY), 111 Minna Gallery (SF), White Walls (SF), Dorothy Circus Gallery (Rome), Fecal Face Gallery (SF), Robert Berman Gallery (Santa Monica), Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (SF), and BLVD. Gallery (Seattle).

Please check out a recent interview with Damon Soule that Juxtapoz just posted:

Damon Soule‘s most recent body of work for ‘Modus Alone’ continues his exploration of geometry, color and space. What makes this work different from previous showings however, is its focus on the metaphysical aspects of these perceptions rather than the material. As an extremely pragmatic and empirically minded person Damon’s work most often centers on scientific themes, choosing to reflect on the complexity of technological, political, and social life in our modern times, rather than the esoteric nature of consciousness. In many ways these new works are more personal, as Soule, through the use of geometry attempts to gain a better understanding of the ethereal.

Linnea Strid - 'Hotel Room Anxiety'

Linnea Strid and Jacub Gagnon are two of the featured artists in our upcoming ‘Fresh’ exhibition. ‘Fresh’ is a showcase of emerging artists that we will be exhibiting in various group shows and special events in the year ahead. We’re excited about their work and wanted to give them a platform to help launch the year that lay ahead.

Please check out a recent interview with Linnea Strid that Juxtapoz just posted:
http://www.juxtapoz.com/Features/back-talk-with-linnea-strid

Linnea Strid was born in 1983 in a small Swedish village where she lived until she was 16, when her family decided to move to Fuengirola in Southern Spain. She lived there during her teens and it was here that she started up her artistic career with several exhibitions. In 2004 she moved back to Sweden and attended art schools for four years. Strid now lives in Uppsala, Sweden, and is working as an artist full-time. She knew when she was a small child that some day she would become an artist, since the need to express herself with paint and in other creative ways has always been fundamental to her. Strid likes to paint in a photo realistic style, but always with the strong desire to convey an odd feeling, a forgotten memory, or maybe just something that is typical of her own little world.

Jacub Gagnon - 'The Great Deception'

Click below to check out Juxtapoz‘ interview with Jacub Gagnon as well:
http://www.juxtapoz.com/Current/back-talk-with-jacub-gagnon

Jacub Gagnon is one of Toronto’s most promising young artists in the new contemporary movement. He graduated in 2009 with a BFA in Drawing & Painting from the Ontario College of Art and Design (OCAD) in Toronto, Canada. His most recent body of work titled ‘String Theory’ is one that brings viewers into a whimsical, bizarre, and curious world that is loosely based on the leading scientific theory that everything is connected.

Thinkspace – five years strong and just getting started.

This past weekend Dabs Myla finished up a collaborative mural with Seventh Letter members Augor, Witnes, and Persue. Here’s a lil’ recap of the action – check out the finished mural below.

Look for the duo to take part in ‘Fresh’ next Friday at Thinkspace. ‘Fresh’ is a showcase of emerging artists that we will be exhibiting in various group shows and special events in the year ahead.
