El Mac is the latest artist to grace the walls of the Montana Paint compound in Barcelona Spain. Montana, considered by many to be the premier brand of spray paint, has recently had it’s walls adorned with work from the likes of Os Gemeos. Mac threw up a beautiful monochromatic piece in his usual style with the circular textured detailing. More looks, after the fold.

Abominations takes up universal questions, such as speculating on the existence of God and what it means to be moral. In the large work The Immortal, an elk with an impressive rack is pinned by a tree branch into a peculiar, torture-like pose against a white background. On and about him are smaller creatures—hummingbirds and rats —that appear to relish in the great beast’s suffering. Or perhaps they’re merely rubbernecking, taking in the tragic fall of the mighty with relief but also a little schadenfreude.

Last Thursday, Chloe Early opened her exhibit “Feathers and Wax” at the Joshua Liner Gallery.

Working in oils on linen and aluminum panel, Chloe Early has developed a unique style that is simultaneously lush and raw. The romantic and the gritty meet in her paintings, which tease out a distinctively poetic worldview through the juxtaposition of extremes. At their core is a sensitivity to lyrical feelings and themes—love, beauty, innocence, softness—which collide with more worldly symbols of aggression and degradation, such as bullets, bombs, urban refuse, and ruins.

New York based painter Lori Blados is currently exhibiting at the Diane Birdsall Gallery.

Lori Blados’ new work, illustrated on board and in acrylic, is a brightly rendered and playful meditation on environments both real and imagined. Birds twitter about as they peek inside their birdhouses–simple, triangular shaped structures reminiscent of something a child might draw. It is in her quirky style that Blados plays with the concepts of reality and fantasy. The birds are peering into a world that is curiously human, curiously askew. The objects of our everyday become spectacles.
