Brian M. Viveros 'Samur-Rising' - 30x40" - Oil, acrylic and airbrush on maple panel - one of Brian's largest paintings ever - see it yourself in person this Sat, Oct. 2nd at Thinkspace in Culver City

“The Dirtyland theme is revolved around my own inner world of strong kick ass women of power, my own smoking army. It is a show that I have envisioned for the past 3 years and has now come to fruition.

The theme takes you through different realms and time periods in my life, elements from my childhood, as well as elements from the present. There will be an amazing installation, a new short film loop, new paintings, drawings, sculptures; I am giving it my all. This exhibition will also feature my two largest paintings to date ʻSAMUR-RIZINGʼ and ʻBLEED FOR MEʼ. Iʼm very exited to share these with the public.” - Brian M. Viveros

HOW TO PURCHASE / HOW THIS PREVIEW WILL UNFOLD:
We will be contacting people for purchases in the order in which they were added to Brian’s waiting list. Speed of response to this preview does not factor in. We’ll give the preview a couple days to circulate to help ensure that all on Brian’s waiting list have had the chance to view the preview and get back to us with their top choices.

Please e-mail your top choices to: contact@thinkspacegallery.com and please be sure to include your best contact number during daytime hours. Due to the demand for this show, it would be very helpful if you can send us your top pick as well as any secondary choices. Hopefully we’re able to connect as many people as possible on the show’s waiting list. We will begin reaching out and selling works from the preview starting on Mon, Sept. 27th. Until then, if you have any questions or would like a larger file of any image, please drop me a line and I’ll get right back to you. Enjoy the show!

We will also be publishing 3 new giclee print editions to be released during the opening reception (to follow on-line the Monday following the Saturday reception). Full details on prints to follow soon. There will be no out-of-state print pre-sales before opening night, sorry.
