This year’s BEYOND EDEN has come together just amazingly well so far. I must say I’m very eager for all to share in the goodness this weekend and all the hard work putting this beast together has been well worth it. Front to back the place is packed with great work. As for our portion of BEYOND EDEN, we’ve put together a strong show consisting of almost all new works from a vast array of talent on our roster including a massive installation from Craig “Skibs” Barker that begs to be viewed in person.

If that wasn’t enough we’ve also teamed up with local artist Euth to shine a light on some of the most intriguing artists currently gracing the streets of Los Angeles with their work.

“Creator / Spectator”
Presented by Thinkspsace and curated by Euth

The artists chosen to participate in “Creator / Spectator” represent the outside circle of underground art in Los Angeles. These are individuals exploring concepts deeply rooted in their own personal history and that are not looking to follow in the footsteps of those who came before them. Each artist was selected because their work is not simply about a name and a product, but more so about who he or she is as a individual – this is not a group working towards a common title or theme like “street art” but instead a group of individuals who have found common ground in a medium that promotes the individuality of each component explored.

This exhibit looks to explore beyond the mentality that the medium is the message. This is about a path of life chosen by these artists that constitutes the very nature of who they are. Each artist involved in this show offers something unique to the city of Los Angeles, a personal message to which they are both creator and spectator.

Featuring works from:
Cat Cult
Corrina Corina
CRYPTIK
Duart JDI
Euth
Line Line Dot
NOMADE
Smog City

Curated by Euth

Works will be available THIS SAT at Beyond Eden and we’ll try to get a web PDF together by this Saturday afternoon to share with those of you that won’t be able to make the event.

New canvas print from Jacub Gagnon to be released at BEYOND EDEN via Thinkspace

September 27th, 2011 Comments off

We’re excited to be issuing our first canvas print with Toronto, Ontario based artist Jacub Gagnon. His piece entitled ‘Best Laid Plans‘ from this past April’s ‘Elements and Oddities‘ show at Thinkspace is the work we’ve chosen due to the great reaction it received. The print is the same size as the original painting by Gagnon – 14×11 inches (36×28 cm) – and is wrapped on a 1.5 inch stretcher bar so the finished piece really resembles the original in a big way.

Jacub Gagnon
‘Best Laid Plans’
Edition of 10 (plus 2 APs)
Giclee print on Museo Anastazi Canvas
Hand-signed and numbered by the artist
14x11x1.5 inches
