I have a piece in this upcoming group show in LA.  All artists have worked on a special multiplane painting consisting of two planes of glass and an mdf backing so three layers combine to make one composition. For more info / times and dates visit Corey Helford Gallery

Clouded Apollo

I’ve been in hiding the last month or so finishing the paintings for my new solo show Clouded Apollo at Stolen Space Gallery. Thanks to everyone who came last Thursday, the show runs until the 29th November –  more pics to follow soon. In the meantime you can visit Ian Cox Flickr for more photos (thanks Ian)

Also my beau has his latest solo – Headless Heroes running at Lazarides Gallery. To see the pics of his amazing new paintings check out conorsaysboom

New Print Release/Chloe Early/Conor Harrington

The print of my painting “Airbourne” that was exhibited in LA in April is being released on the 10th September through BLK MRKT gallery. On the same day Conor’s “Trapped by Language” print will also be available.

Hoop La La

I spent yesterday photographing Jessie Walters, aerial performer and hoola hooper extraordinaire from Hoop La La. It was my first time working with a model and despite feeling very unfit I’m now super excited to use these images in my work. Thanks Jessie

Demise of a Red Rose

Elizabeth Peyton

I recently caught this show on at Whitechapel Gallery. Elizabeth Peyton comes in for alot of criticism for painting celebrities and pursuing what some refer to as an adolescent subject matter and style, but I along with lots of others love her work. There is something beautiful and jewel like about these paintings, a fragile minature beauty.

Radical Nature

I recently saw the Radical Nature on at the Barbican, the show as a whole didn’t do much for me but my highlights were Mark Dion’s Mobile wilderness unit -  pictured above, it reminded me of the paintings of Josh Keyes which I love. The photos of Agnes Denes project in 1982 where she dug, planted and harvested a 2 acre wheat field in downtown Manhattan were breathtaking. The idea was re appropriated to coincide with the Radical Nature exhibition by a group of artists at Dalston Mill near where we live. I’m not sure if the harvest had quite the same yield but it was great to sit outside on a warm summer evening in Dalston under the stars. Stars and fields usually seem a million miles from this busy intersection that I’ve called home for the last two years. Sadly the mill is closed now which is just aswell really, as the summer starts to draw to a close I’m becoming increasingly aware that I have a show coming soon – less star gazing and more painting for me.
