Hi!

I was delighted to learn that the show I am participating in called "Jest in Time: The Phylogenesis of Clowns" at Distinction Gallery was featured on the Hi-Fructose Site! Check it out here!

Distinction Gallery and curator Dio Sumagaysay recently joined forces to put together a fundraiser show benefiting ArtHatch, a non-profit youth art organization. Entitled "Jest In Time: The Phylogenesis of Clowns", the show features not only an interesting theme (clowns!) but also puts a twist on the traditional gallery sales structure by offering all works at a potentially discounted auction-style format or through the standard buy it now retail price. View selected works from the show, as well as a couple opening night pictures, below.

The need around the world is huge; this event couldn’t happen at a more appropriate time.”

New Solo Show at CoproNason by Tiffany Liu entitled Gold Dust

2009-12-07T12:39:00.000-08:00

Hi Everyone!

I hope all of you can make it out to see my new solo show, this Saturday the 12th at CoproNason at the Bergamont Station. Also joining me in the other two rooms in the gallery will be a lovely Holiday Group Show entitled Saturnalia and Chris Peters.

Opening Reception: 8:00 pm til 11
Live Music: "The Black Widow", "Livingstons"

Press Release

Tiffany Liu's new body of work entitled Gold dust explores that nature of Gold and how it is percieved by the world. Whimsical in nature, her theme takes you on a journey through a magical and mysterious realm filled with mysterious unassuming characters.
This is Tiffany's second solo show with CoproGallery and her work keeps developing and getting better. A graduate of Art Center College of Design in Pasadena she has been teaching art to small children for several years. They have given her great insight into the narration of her paintings and become her greatest inspiration. "When they draw it is a big rainstorm of thoughts, emotions and ideas." Taking fears and making them affable, creating characters that speak to her and making art that allows viewers to feel as though they have stepped into her dream world is Tiffanys vision.

2009-08-25T14:54:00.000-07:00

I just completed a piece that I did for my sister for a wedding present. Its of her and my future brother in law, Paul. Apologies for the poor quality of the picture. The frame and some details are done with gold and copper paint.

Genki Snipping and A Golden Shower make their debut.

2009-08-13T02:23:00.000-07:00

These are two pieces I did for an upcoming show at Gallery Nucleus called Sweet Streets. I got the idea from old paper dolls I would make when I was little. As I was making the pieces, I felt a real connection to the people of the street fashion world. I feel like each of these individuals are simply seeking new ways to express themselves and in a sense become what they want to be by transforming what they see in the mirror. If you are in the area, be sure not to miss this show.

Show Goes from August 29, 2009 to September 14, 2009

Swing Girls.

2009-05-22T23:54:00.000-07:00

I just watched this cute little movie. One of my neighbors with this amazing dvd collection gave me a copy of it saying that it was one of his favorite movies. I liked it alot! It was really cute and reminds me of simpler more innocent days. If you get the chance, check out this movie.

Synposis:

A group of school girls in northern Japan are stuck in class for the summer, where they find nothing interesting. One girl Tomoko encourages her classmate to deliver the lunches for the school brass band cheering for their school baseball team, thereby getting out of the class for a day. Tomoko and her friends realize helping Takuos plan to fight the next big game could get an opportunity for them to skip the math class all summer. Takuo not having enough members to form a brass band decides to make the girls into a big band swing group. Tomoko buys a saxophone and starts to learn on her own. With the help of Takuo, she makes the other girls involved. They start to practice and slowly learn how to play.

Gessoing

2009-05-22T23:47:00.000-07:00

I spent some time on the roof of my loft last week. It was a lovely breezy night. Gessoing is usually the part I dread most about starting a painting! I got this great sanding block from Home Depot so the job of sanding was easy as pie!

This is an unfinished sketch of the piece I'm working on now. This little monster is really full and pretty much a beached whale in a very empty peaceful beach. He's really full cause he ate most of the world.

Did you know that the Hulk has been arrested for wreckless endangerment? Aquaman did some time for fishing in international waters without permits, and the Wonder Twins were still awaiting trial for public indecency. It just reminds us that even though they are super, they are still human (some of them anyways). Join us during Comic Con weekend at Subtext, and see for yourself what infractions your favorite heroes have been hiding under their capes.

Art Schooling.

2009-04-13T20:08:00.000-07:00

I was raised in a pretty artistic environment. My parents owned art galleries and art schools around LA. So I spent a large portion of my life surrounded by everything that is art. It is pretty much the only life that I know. I started drawing very early on (My favorite topics then included mostly unicorns and buddha princesses.)
My parents started their art school when I was 8 and I started taking class there since then until I graduated high school. Almost everyday, I would be picked up from school and taken to the art school, where I would spend hours drawing and painting. I became an art instructor assistant there, helping my mentor Ann Phong with her classes. I began teaching my own classes before I graduated from Art Center. I still teach there now. It has become one of the most inspiring and influential things in my life and part of my strong motivation to make art. I feel really fortunate to be able to help my young students and also learn and grow through them.

Kamikazee Girls

2009-02-18T17:30:00.000-08:00

I just watched this fun Japanese comedy called Kamikaze Girl yesterday, based on a novel by Novala Takemoto. I enjoyed how surreal and creative the movie was. Like the character, I've also wished that I was born in Europe during the Rococo times. It was light and fun and I very much enjoyed it!

Also if your in LA go check out Royal Tea House in Culver city. Have lunch or go for afternoon tea and crumpits. The ladies in the cafe dress in cute french maid costumes. Then look around the gallery and the the little shop there. My friend Teri took me and I instantly fell in love! Sometimes they hold different themed events where people get together all dressed up and frolic around.

My piece for Nobody Walks in LA

2009-02-06T02:29:00.000-08:00

Recently, I have been thinking about money a lot. The way the economy is going now a days, there is no questioning why. Like any good consumer, I need it, and desire it. My days are spent hunting for bargains, paying bills, and waiting for checks to come in. Money has given me a roof over my head, food in my mouth and most importantly, security. I honor money for its ability to make my life more convenient. On the flip side, it has also become something that I abhor. It has given me countless days of anxiety, depression, and suffering. It has hurt my friends and my family. It has done a lot of bad things to me. Money is my steadfast friend, but also my steadfast enemy. I can't rid myself of it nor do I want to because honestly, it makes me feel invincible. Money today has become power. With money, man has elevated to the position of super hero-dom. Putting out fires, saving lives, and solving problems in daily life is nothing with the great power of old Benji Franky by ones side. As with most great stories of super heros though, this seemingly invincible and powerful exterior is not without its weaknesses and dangers. There is not one super hero that I know of that doesn't have kryptonites and villains that could potentially lead them to ruins. However, one big difference between super heros and some of the very rich is that Mr. Money man's ruin has a higher likely hood of ruining everything else. The idea that these pieces of paper and round metal objects could hold such power really intrigues me and sort of scares me.

I love stop motion!

2009-02-06T02:16:00.000-08:00

I ran across this wonderous animation the other day via a friend of mine. Which lead me to search out the person that did the animation. Her name is Kirsten Lepore. Visit her website, I love her energy. She also has a fun an interesting blog. Go visit her at www.kirstenlepore.com.

Here is another nice stop motion piece I found on her blog. Fun stuff!

It will take place on January 23 in Barcelona Spain at Atticus Gallery :) and continue on display for about a month. If you are in the city, you should check it out!

'Nobody Walks in LA' opens this Friday
curated by DailyduJour

Los Angeles is starting to be referred to as the new center of the art world. In the emerging contemporary art scene, LA certainly is making a claim for that title. With some of the most talked about artists, and some of the most exciting art enclaves - the city that was known for being devoid of culture is now flourishing like never before.

With that in mind, DailyD is curating its first show, and taking it on the road to Barcelona! With over 25 artists including:

Joe Ledbetter, Amanda Visell, Yoskay Yamamoto, KMNDZ, Mike Shinoda, David Flores and more.

You can view the work online at Atticus Gallery

DailyduJour is your portal to the best of what's happening in Los Angeles. Gallery openings, artist interviews, events, product launches and anything in between. If it is culturally relevant you can count on finding it on DailyduJour.

With daily posts, guest blogs from some of LA's favorite artists and a members forum – everything you need to know about Los Angeles' contemporary art scene is right here.

Welcome to the D.

New Exclusive Release

2008-11-23T09:47:00.001-08:00

Hi Everyone!

I am excited to release a new print with apapertiger.com. The piece is a special one from my recent solo show at Corey Helford Gallery.

The image is about two people in love that live on opposite sides of an island. Much of their different worlds are the same, but somethings are a little different. Their dream is to live together in one place.

Fly me to Austria.

2007-09-24T03:47:00.001-07:00

Oh Austria. Oh memories. Oh love. I went to Europe during the summer and had a great time. One of my favorite places was Austria. Me and my bf stayed in a cute little bed and breakfast in the town of Salzburg, where Mozart was born and where part of the Sound of Music was filmed. Whenever I think about my trip and think about heaven, I think about those three days I spent there. I was in love in one of the most beautiful places I had ever seen. Theres this feeling that I can't figure out, but that I can't forget. Its' very specific. I've gotten that feeling both times I've gone to Europe. Maybe its freedom, whatever it is it makes me want to fly.

Corey Helford Gallery "Paint By Number's"

2007-04-06T00:29:00.002-07:00

This is a piece I did for this cool show. I loved working on it. I remember paint by number kits from when I was a kid. It was exciting to add my thoughts to this piece. The piece is based obviously around the title, "California". I thought of the idea after watching the news on how it had snowed in Malibu. The people were collecting snow and keeping it as if snow was some new fangled idea. The random oddity of the situation really did it for me. I didnt really have a set plan of action. I just went with what I felt. I like to tackle pieces in that way, I feel like a kid!

Mute Girl

2007-03-14T13:48:00.000-07:00

I have a little 6 year old student in my class named Yvonne. In all the time that I've known her she has never uttered a syllable to me. There are shy people, but Yvonne isn't one of them. Her actions are rough and some would call her a little mean or socially inapt. She can speak, but refuses to use her real voice with anyone, but her immediate family. She intrigues me. My mom was a mute 'til she was 7. She never said a word either. It made me wonder how it would be like to live in their world. How their lack of speech would affect their development and the way they were forced to interact with people. Communication is a really interesting topic to me. I wonder how it would be like if everyone lost the ability to communicate, verbally or physically. I don't think we could survive. I couldn't even begin to think of the mass chaos that would come to pass.
I didn't speak much at all early on in elementary school and was put into ESL (sheltered class). Some stupid ladies decided that the reason I had to be in there was because I couldn't speak english well enough. WRONG, they wasted a year of my schooling. I spent much of my ESL times doing other kid's english homework. It was miscommunication Miscommunicationg or lack of communication messes things up.
