Jordan Seiler Solo at Vincent Michael Gallery

Yesterday, Abztract had the pleasure of joining artist Jordan Seiler on a trip to Philadelphia where Jordan is going to have his first solo show in over 5 years titled "Taken From The Tip Jar".

New works will include 16 multimedia drawings, a small video installation, and a few street pieces. Anyone familiar with Jordan's work (on Public Ad Campaign) knows that some sort of outdoor advertising has to be challenged with anything he does and this show is no exception. All of the drawings are framed in phonebooth advertising structures procured from the streets of NY over the past few months. While Abztract knows many of you will not be able to make it down to Philadelphia, the entire catalogue will be available online in the next few days and any inquiries can be directed to the Vincent Michael Gallery.

Here are photos from our exclusive trip with Jordan as he got his work up to Philly at VMG:

JOSH KEYES X SAELEE OH X DOZE GREEN

We try to promote art events in local cities that we think are worth getting out of the house for. While we don't know of EVERY event, we occasionally come across an event we really get excited to attend. This weekend marks one of these.

On Jan. 16th in NYC, the Jonathan Levine Gallery will have its opening reception for the opening featuring work by Josh Keyes, Saelee Oh and Doze Green. We are big big fans of all three and really excited to see them combined into one event.

If you are in NYC this weekend, this will be worth putting down that snuggy you got from Grandma for x-mas and putting on some layers and heading out to JLG. Abztract will be in attendance (with our snuggy on or not, have not decided yet).

PANDEMIC GALLERY X ABZTRACT ARTIST COLLECTIVE : OPENING NIGHT

Heelbruise Love and Guts Artshow

Saturday night, Abztract hit up the Heelbruise Love and Guts artshow presented by Crewest Gallery in downtown Los Angeles. We had the pleasure of attending the event alongside Lance Mountain, Steve Caballero, Craig Stecyk, Jeff Ho, a bunch of Z Boys.... and Daryl Hannah (WTF was our initial thought too).

Was definatley fun to be out in Downtown LA with all those cats in one room. The event was rad and featured some great work by some amazing talents. We had a really good time (plus, who doesn't love Daryl Hannah? The chick was a sword wielding pirate woman in KILL BILL for Christ sake!)

Enjoy some photos from the event
