If you're in LA this weekend, join me at the opening reception for a very cool show of graphic and digital pop art. Sean Bonner says the show includes hundreds of postcard-sized prints, and he e-mails us these details:
We have an amazing opening scheduled for Saturday, July 19 by a
Canadian duo, Kenn Sakurai (ESM Artificial ) and Dave O'Regan (Poplab).
With an emphasis on text, this show of mass-produced and one-of-a-kind silk-screened pieces (postcards, posters, stickers) along with painted work will touch upon some of the best and the worst aspects of popular culture that often include models, cars, rock stars, song lyrics, the 80s, and television personalities. Their work also delves into other universal themes such as heartbreak and high school. ESM and Poplab utilize familiar images, subjects, and sayings that are always humorous, poignant, and thoughtful.
"Modern Thought" opening reception is from 7-10pm at sixspace 549 west 23rd, LA 90027.
