A really good looking show of original paintings and prints by Chris Reccardi is opening at M Modern in Palm Springs from November 17th to December 14th
Preview here
Chris says “COSMOPOLLUS” is a plurealistic glimpse into a (not so) fictional world whose inhabitants have been seduced, and eventually betrayed by their own technology. The hegemony of machine and man is played out in a colorful dystopian vision of humanity’s glorious future.

A joint show from Stella Im Hultberg and Amy Sol at Lineage Gallery in Philadelphia from November 16th to December 23rd
In life there are moments that are meant to be shared and then there are moments that are meant to be spent alone. In these reflective moments alone we spend time searching for the answers that can only come from within. These moments are often in quiet, somber, special and secluded places that are far away from the outside world. This show explores those moments.

Shag has a brand new show with all new paintings at Billy Shire Fine Art
Artist Statement:
Conspicuous Consumption is a collection of paintings intended to clarify one of the central themes running through my work: the acquisition of beautiful, frivolous, aesthetically pleasing and status -advancing objects is not an affliction on society. Art, jewelry, fine clothing and lavish dwellings have been a part of human existence since our cave -dwelling ancestors first realized that natural materials could be rearranged into new and beautiful things. These appealing objects have added to wealth and culture of civilizations for thousands of years.
In addition, the consumption of food and drink, and the practice of pleasurable activities, contribute to the meaning, importance, and singularity of human existence. Although irony plays a large part in my art, I hope that it won’t detract from my sincere belief that an ascetic life is missing a substantial part of what makes one’s time on this planet worthwhile.
Exhibition: September 15 - October 20, 2007
Opening Reception: Saturday, September 15th, 7-10 pm

Baby Tattooville is a weekend-long “Limited Edition Retreat” for art collectors. The 100 attendees will spend the weekend with the event’s featured artists and special guests, receive surprise collectible items, Friday and Saturday night hotel accommodations, a Friday night party with a no host bar, panels and presentations, a Saturday night merchandise event and a Sunday brunch buffet.
Participating artists are: Gary Baseman, Tim Biskup, Gris Grimly, James Jean, Frank Kozik, Tara McPherson, Ragnar, Jeffery Scott (1019), Jeff Soto and Amanda Visell.
Baby Tattooville provides a unique opportunity for a small group of celebrated artists and serious collectors to spend time together in a relaxed yet creatively stimulating environment. Without the time constraints of a typical personal appearance, or the crowd control issues of a high profile art event, artists and collectors will have a weekend-long opportunity to discuss and explore their mutual interests. Think of Baby Tattooville as an innovative and exclusive community built around the lifestyle of the artist and the artistry of the collector.
