Sightseeing

Before posting pictures of Art Whino Gallery's main exhibition during Art Basel 2009 I wanted to share some of the highlights from several of my favorite art fairs, exhibitions, and events. Below you will see pictures from Stages, the Scope art fair, the Aqua art fair and finally Buff Monster and Tara McPherson's live painting session in Miami. There was such a high quality of art at so many locations that it was a dream come true to see it in person.
Catch more images below.

Stages
Os Gemeos painting. This painting has not received much attention but it is one of my favorites of the entire show.
Dzine's beautiful bike. You can't tell in the picture but the bike is on top of glass which has been broken due to all of the people trying to get a deeper look into the detail of the bike.
First real Kaws painting I have had the pleasure of viewing in person. Extremely sharp.
Off to Scope art fair
As soon as you walk into both Scope and Aqua you are greated by Aj Fozik's work.

Jeff Soto water colors. Very nice details and colors in these small pieces.
This women is not checking out trash but a sound/beat installation by David Ellis.
Loved Nunca's piece at the Carmichael Gallery booth.
Two personal favorites of the entire fair. Doze Green above and Calma's piece below.

Kids were going crazy over this. The mold has a projected face that makes you feel like you are actually staring at a real person. Very good concept.
Tes One mural.
Off to Aqua art fair.
Love the quality of work at the Thinkspace booth

2nd Aj Fozik's piece greating people as they walk into Aqua
Nice to see two of Megg's pieces at the fair. Super talented and just overall well rounded artist.
After Aqua it was time to grab some nacho's with Joka and hang out until Buff Monster and Tara McPherson got to work on their live painting collaboration.
They both worked so well together and you could tell that there was such a high level of comfort between them. They deserve all of the success and much more to come.
