Naughty or Nice – Andrew Hosner
“Naughty or Nice” was Thinkspace’s holiday group show featuring new works from 16 of the new contemporary art movement’s hottest young artists, including a large-scale installation from Los Angeles’ Jaime “Germs” Zacarias in our front gallery. Stepping into our space, you walk into Germs’ floor-to-ceiling mural installation to marvel at two large works that compliment the environment he created for this special show. The main gallery itself features the graffiti inspired works of Seattle’s 2H and Oahu’s Ekundayo alongside the delicate watercolor works of Los Angeles’ Brandi Milne and the softly alluring drawings from Sydney’s Lilly Piri, among many others. The works explore themes of innocence, beauty, femininity, loss, youth’s trials, and the evils that men do. The artists that make up this show are commonly grouped under the pop surrealism or low-brow banners, yet the vast array of artistic styles on display make it hard to categorize all the talent here under one umbrella term. “Naughty Or Nice” was put together to offer an overview of the artists that we will be working with and displaying over the course of the coming year and serves as an excellent introduction to this all-important new movement catching fire nationwide.
Our gallery exists as a catalyst for this rapidly expanding movement that is exploding forth from the streets and art schools in Los Angeles and the world over. We are here to help represent this new generation of artists, to provide them that home base and to aid them in building the right awareness and also the collector base necessary for long-term growth. “Naughty Or Nice” strives to spotlight the artists that we feel represent the best of the new contemporary art movement, along with artists still on the “come-up” that we admire and support.
