Cristian Gheorghiu’s (aka ‘SMEAR’) ‘Run with the Hunted’ is a tribute to Charles Bukowski (see the poem that inspired the title at the end of this post). From the press materials:
RUN WITH THE HUNTED refers to Bukowski’s poem “My Doom Smiles At Me.” Gheorghiu’s visceral, highly personal style of painting emulates the messy workings of the total-information age, layering forms and images with powerful, slashing brush strokes of rhythmic, unifying admixtures and improvised, frenzied lines of brilliant color. Wrestling with ways to make a mark despite the dismaying potency of mediated imagery, Gheorghiu paints in two or more styles at once — often in the same painting, denying the absolute rightness of any canon of beauty or truth, scavenging and mingling imagery as promiscuously as the media. Picking and adding elements from his environment, Gheorghiu works the surfaces over with paint in the spontaneous gestural language of action painting.
Os Gêmeos, the Brazilian twins Gustavo and Otavio Pandolfo, are best known for their fantastical and
expansive large-scale installations and murals. The main influence of their work comes from the
surroundings in which they grew up. They began to experiment at age twelve on the walls, objects and
materials in the megalopolis of São Paulo. This helped shape their aesthetic vernacular into a distinct and
recognizable style. Os Gêmeos work as one unit in every aspect of their creative process, from the paintings
to the more recent animation videos they incorporate into their installation environments
Brought out my old Polaroid camera with my last expired box of Polaroid 600. The camera was passed around to family and friends during the Taco de Lomography Photo show at Lomography Los Angles in West Hollywood. The event celebrated the use of film photography and using a Lomo LC-A during each photographer’s daily taco lifestyle in Los Angeles.
