We’ll have special Guest Jeni Yang who’s currently showing along with Jesse Fillingham. We’ll draw, pass around pages, and keep drawing and see what happens. It’s BYOB if you want, but we’ll have tables and some chairs. Stop in, shop, and draw.

Clement Hanami at the Vincent Price Art Museum – ROUND TRIP: Eight East Los Angeles College Alumni Artists

Round Trip : 8 Alumni Artists. One of these persons might not belong by name, but Clement Hanami, from the Japanese American National Museum’s section is the most challenging and interesting.

I can’t tell you the exact title, but when you press a button, garbage comes out of the outhouse. The messages on the “shitter” tells you direct that the world is going to shit. We keep producing crap and we throw it away and then where does it go? Clements pieces are often kinetic and thought out conceptually. A pretty painting? He has some of those too.

These get confusing since they’re kinetic puppets. One in a beat up house and the next, a definitely beat up Japanese style house. Does it mean, the Latin Americans and the Japanese Americans are puppets for others? Could be. When they say dance, they dance? Are they also dressed up and portrayed how others want them to be? Perhaps.

The lowrider rickshaw. I know Clement has another, but this one is awesome. The hydraulics work.

Synthesis: The coming together of Jesse Fillingham and Jeni Yang!

Giant Robot welcomes the combined efforts of artists Jesse Filllingham and Jeni Yang for Synthesis at GR2! This new show features two amazing artists, presenting 23 pieces of original art work. Jeni Yang is an illustrator who is Taipei-born and living in Los Angeles. Her art brings out the relationships between musical instruments and both humans and animals and explores the effects that each one has on the other. Jeni experiments with a wide variety of materials and mediums, but all ten pieces of her art work for this show incorporate woodwork in order to provide a whimsical and surreal feel and pastels and soft wood stains in order to invoke nostalgia. Jesse Fillingham is a Los Angeles artist who explores themes from nature, mythology, and fantastic worlds. His work in this show addresses the relationship between people and nature by taking real-world practices (such as logging or building dams) and infusing them with personal mythologies and mysteries. Witness more of their work through the following link or click on the photo below! GR2 Synthesis – Jesse Fillingham and Jeni Yang!

GR2 Synthesis – Jeni Yang and Jesse Fillingham 5/14/11 – 6/8/11

[nggallery id=24] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Group art show opening Synthesis: New work by Jeni Yang and Jesse Fillingham May 14 – June 8, 2011 Reception: Saturday, May 14, 6:30 – 10:00 p.m. GR2 2062 Sawtelle Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90025 gr2.net (310) 445-9276 Giant Robot is proud to host Synthesis, a joint art show featuring new work by Jeni Yang and Jesse Fillingham. Originally from Taipei but now based in Los Angeles, Jeni Yang is an illustrator who experiments with a wide variety of materials and mediums. The incorporation of woodwork in her whimsical and surreal paintings adds a handcrafted feel; the use of pastels and soft wood stains, nostalgia. For the show, Yang says she is studying the effects and relationships of musical instruments with both humans and animals, and plans on making 12-15 small to medium-sized pieces on wood and wood veneers using acrylic paints and graphite. Jesse Fillingham is a Los Angeles artist who explores themes from nature, mythology, and fantastic worlds and whose interests include unicorns, fluorescents, textures, testosterone, and contradictions. His latest work addresses the relationship between people and nature by taking real-world practices (such as logging or building dams) and infusing them with personal mythologies and mysteries. In his new acrylic paintings on cradled wood panels, the results range from violent and destructive to peaceful and harmonious. Giant Robot was born as a Los Angeles-based magazine about Asian, Asian-American, and new hybrid culture in 1994, but has evolved into a full-service pop culture provider with a shop and gallery in Los Angeles, as well as an online equivalent. An opening reception for the artists will take place from 6:30 – 10:00 on Saturday, May 14.
