We just came across some nice images of the Peter Gronquist Solo Show, “The Revolution Will Be Fabulous: A Weapons of Mass Designer Show”, that is going down at Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles.
The artist presents blinged out faux-designer weaponry such as Paul Smith rockets, Louis Vuitton electric chairs and Pacman bombs. Some pieces look really nice and are well fabricated, such as the Louis Vuitton chair, others came off a little cheap, which does not really work if you enter this kind of art. Since he is working with high fashion branding, the pieces also have to look that way. Images via Notcot.

Here are some pictures of the “Skate Life: Skateboard Inspired Sculptures and Paintings” by J. Shea and Freddi C. exhibition, that is currently going down at the Gallery 1988 in San Francisco.
The artworks and sculptures look great and the amount of detail is very impressive. Also these works are especially refreshing in comparison to all the vinyl toys and sculptures that we see these past years. Pics via Notcot.
