[ad_1] A spur-of-the-moment excursion, a day trip involves little planning but much possibility.

Juxtapoz Magazine – Kevin Christy: A Step Up the Ghost Ladder
[ad_1] So how many preparatory sketches do you do before you start painting? The truth is, lately, I don’t do a ton of drawings. I usually text myself an idea so I don’t forget it. I think about it for a while. I almost compose it in my head, and then lately, mostly because…

Juxtapoz Magazine – Lee Quinoñes: In Graffiti We Trust
[ad_1] Your paintings often incorporate poetic text. How did words become part of your composition? Visually, going back to the subway era, an entire 52’ long car painted is so out of the box, out of the norm, that when it comes, it takes you hostage in a way. I think people were very…

Juxtapoz Magazine – Barry McGee and the “OLDE IFFY” Feeling Goes to Tokyo
[ad_1] The thing about Barry McGee is that through all his career in graffiti and maintaing a sense of street-centric amalgamy in his fine art works and presentations, he looks quite good in a white cube. The edges can be rougher, the chaos more noticeable, the energy more palpable. For his newest presentation, OLDE IFFY, on…

Juxtapoz Magazine – Eric White Broadcasts “Local Programming” in Exquisite New Show
[ad_1] For decades, Eric White has vividly interpreted pop-culture with oil paint. No matter the size of the canvas, the scenes are drenchingly submersible, a sort of play within a play where viewers can watch a scene evolve just beyond their vantage point. It’s been four years since White’s last solo show, Local Programming, and…

Juxtapoz Magazine – The Host, The Thief, The Wives, and Their Lovers: Erin Wright’s New Still-Lifes in Los Angeles
[ad_1] Capturing stillness is a classic skill, but one that we still continue to be in awe of when it’s done so well. Painting in 2024, and over the past decade, has juxtaposed between artists who are dedicated to movement and mixed-media explorations and those who are challenging what we know about still-life work.
