Joey Feldman Ptolemy Gallery Show Bottleneck

Life is about creation and destruction. The juxtaposition of discovery and revelation is critical to one’s success and awareness of self. It is with this in mind that LA based artist Joey Feldman invades NYC and Bottleneck Gallery to present for our viewing pleasure his upcoming show, Ptolemy.

Feldman’s eclectic style and emotional renderings demonstrate an artist’s journey of self-discovery in a truly unique presentation of his work. Much like Claudius Ptolemy presented his monumental arrangement of 48 Constellations with the Earth being at the center of his universe, Feldman presents us with 48 original works with his life at the focus. The 48 panels in full glory represent his journey; his origins and exploration of existence. Light to darkness, and for better or worse Joey shows us an incredibly personal and autobiographical arrangement of pieces.

Attendees should prepare themselves for a full range of emotional and intellectual stimulation. If you’ve ever wondered what it is like to be a fly on the wall in the world of Joey Feldman; this is the show for you. In addition to the 48 panels, there will be show specific prints and variants available to purchase. Each panel was photographed and digitally sewn together to make two sets of gorgeous prints.

Joey will be in attendance for folks to pick his brains and see what makes him tick. Plus, he will be around to doodle prints! The exhibition opens Friday, April 26th from 7P - 9P eastern. Admission and drinks are FREE.

Gallery is located at 60 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11249

Mark Dean Veca: Everlast Solo Show at Western Project Preview

Western Project is proud to present the third solo exhibition at the gallery by Los Angeles artist, Mark Dean Veca. His new body of work, EVERLAST, is comprised of seven new paintings and twelve works on paper. Veca grew up around the San Francisco Bay Area surrounded by words; words in the sky, words on the streets, words on the billboards, on trucks and grocery stores, liquor stores – everywhere – an environment of language, letters and images. For this work he writes:

Particular street signs and logos started to jump out at me as perfect combinations of subject matter and composition. I'm not picking words or images at random, but those that I find have some kind of resonance personally as well as universally, be they mundane or iconic, and are redolent of my 1970's California upbringing…

For years now I've been interested in the negative space in and around letterforms, particularly logos in a certain script, like the Fender logo. When I see these spaces I get an urge or compulsion to define and articulate them, to make them the figure, not the ground.

It is the atmosphere which seems to have won out as an undulating miasma or vapor, enveloping the signage from neighborhood stores (LIQUOR MART), to international corporate logos (EVERLAST and Zildjian). Perhaps they recall the brown smog atmosphere from the 1970’s in LA, along with the Pop culture explosion of the era; his paintings reek of immersion in a climate of billowing energy, a charged atmosphere where background shifts to and fro:

Duality seems to be a consistent theme in much of my work. In these word paintings the eye wants to flatten the text, especially from a distance, but upon closer inspection the forms flip. The atmospheric quality that fills the letter forms heightens the effect of creating depth and contrast to the crisp line work defining the biomorphic abstraction surrounding them.

The show opens this Saturday October 18 6-8pm and runs until November 29. 
Western Project is located at

Opening Reception: Friday, September 26th, 2014 • 7-10pm

Austin, Texas…the "Live Music Capital of the World." On any given night you can find live music playing up and down the streets of downtown Austin. Add to this the annual music festivals and rich history of the city's music scene and you begin to understand where Austin gets its well-deserved moniker. This fall, Guzu Gallery pays homage to its hometown's strong musical tradition with a sequel to last year's successful music-themed art show, Deep Cuts.

Guzu asked each artist to tribute a beloved music icon, cult hero or legend in the form of an album-sized screen printed poster. Each print will be sold for $25.

The opening reception will be on Friday, September 26th from 7 to 10pm and the artwork will remain up through October 20th. There will be live music by Austin dream pop trio, Yum, and indie rock quartet, Antiques, on opening night. Complimentary beverages will be provided by Hops & Grain and Pabst Blue Ribbon. Admission is free and all ages are welcome!

Guzu Gallery welcomes everyone to the show but if you can't make it out, the artwork will be available for purchase in their online store on Monday, September 29th around Noon CST.

Stay tuned to Guzu's social media outlets for more info and sneak previews as the days get closer to show time!

Spoiled Rotten Meggs Solo Gallery Show Covered

Friday night saw the opening of Australian artist Meggs first solo show at Inner State Gallery in Detroit, Michigan and the Inside the Rock Poster Street Team was on hand to cover the incredible show and bring you the pictures (Click them to enlarge).

The show of over 40 new paintings and multiples explores the wondrous decay of social morality stemming from modern society’s obsession with pop culture and overindulgent materialism, and continues MEGGS’ perpetual fascination with dualism and finding beauty in tragedy. The city of Detroit plays a major influence in MEGGS’ philosophy behind Spoiled Rotten, as he created an entirely new body of work during his five-week residency at Inner State Gallery and 1xRUN.

Among the many highlights of the show I think everyone's favorite was the interactive creation of art. Participates were given a slingshot and some paint balls to shoot at a wall about 10 feet wide and 15 feet high, see the picture above of Meggs standing in front of the wall. If they got 3 bulls-eyes they got a signed show flyer from Meggs. People had a lot of fun with this and through the night it transformed into it's own piece of art created by all those that attended.

The remaining art for sale is online at 1xRUN.com
