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.

Enjoy

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.

Black Holes: Art Basel 2009 Miami

While in Miami during Art Basel 2009, I had the opportunity to do some new outdoor "Black Holes" which I have been wanting to do more of for quite some time now. During the process this club owner across from the street we were painting came out and said "You guys are finally painting here. Thank god. " That felt nice to hear. Catch more photos below of PaperMonster, Scotch, Demer, Rain, Tara McPherson, and Gaia all on the streets of Miami.

Photos: Live Painting @ Art Basel at Urbanite Bistro

As soon as we landed in Miami we headed over to get all of the painting supplies for the live painting session at Urbanite Bistro as part of Art Whino Gallery's exhibition schedule at Art Basel. The Miami heat was on full blast and it was time to get to work. It was my first time meeting some of the artists including stencil artists Dave Lowell and it was nice to see some good friends there like Adam Russell, Leon Rainbow, Demer, and even Joka from Philadelphia was there to check out the painting session. The day ended with a huge party at Urbanite Bistro with all of the finished live paintings on display. Check out more images below of the entire day. Enjoy
