PROJECT welcomes Jeremiah Kille: Fragile Empire




Transpire

--> PROJECT Gallery is proud to welcome painter Jeremiah Kille in his first Los Angeles Gallery exhibit entitled Fragile Empire. Jeremiah’s work is both inspired by and investigative of finality. Exploring themes of nature and coexistence,  he employs a multitude of stylistic approaches which range from loosely abstracted to highly rendered objects. These differing image styles are generally coexisting in a single piece thus creating a juxtaposition of reality and surrealism. He is best known for his narrative work that depicts themes of disenfranchised circus elephants, yet this is only a portion of his already developed, and collected, body of work. Twenty pieces including five brand new works of his abstract series will comprise this exhibition.

Jeremiah Kille is a native of Santa Cruz, CA who began his career as a custom surfboard builder with strong communal ties to surf & skate culture. An opportunity working alongside renowned artist Thomas Campbell would profoundly impact Jeremiah, exposing him to the endless creative avenues of artistic expression that can exist in the world. He would go on to receive a BFA from San Jose State and currently pursues painting at his studio full time. He has exhibited and displayed work extensively in Northern California including a featured exhibit at Whitewalls Gallery in San Francisco in 2012. 

Opening reception: April 25; 7p-10p
Show runs through May 26

What's new with Brandon and Janette?

We've been ALL about the Stones, not gonna lie. It's hard not to be with the exhibit
at PROJECT and all the announcements around them these days!!

That said, there are indeed other things going on in the Art Duet world!!

In very exciting and impressive news, Janette Beckman went to Caracas
last month where she photographed the hip-hop community at a school that teaches a new kind of break dance and music called Tuki, which mixes street styles, pop culture, house, and techno. None other than THE NEW YORKER blogged about it. How cool (and well deserved!) is that?!
 
Next on everyone's mind is what's cooking with Brandon. All we can say is that there is a A LOT that's going to happen this summer. Please stay tuned, and get extremely excited in the mean time!

CARTHWEEL Pop Up at PROJECT Gallery!!!



We are very excited for our very first event at PROJECT with our friends at CARTWHEEL! The 4 day pop up which opens on March 21 is like it's own little art fair and all are welcome!

Here is some "official" info: 
 
LA’s most forward-thinking art venture, CARTWHEEL, announces its second annual pop-up art exhibition at Hollywood’s new gallery space, PROJECT Gallery.  CARTWHEEL’s pop-up will feature eight artists, comprised of street, outsider, surf, and new contemporary artists from around the U.S., most from the national art fair circuit, many of whom have never shown in Los Angeles before, selected by CARTWHEEL founder Cindy Schwarzstein. This is an opportunity for collectors and art enthusiasts to immerse themselves in current art and connect with the artists and the larger creative community. By combing fresh, bold art with daily interactive events, CARTWHEEL creates a mini-art fair-like environment at PROJECT Gallery space. This four-day art event consisting of installations, performances, and artist meet-and-greets will commence with an open-to-the-public exhibit on Thursday, March 21, from 7pm to 10pm.
