We will be opening a new show on September 11th by artist and painter Jim Blanchard.
Jim is probably one of artists we have shown the longest, in fact he was in Roq La Rue's very first exhibition in 1998! We are pleased to welcome him back again for his solo show, "Personality Parade", featuring his trademark dynamic portraits of off kilter pop icons and on-point idols of true hipness and bad assery. These paintings are so tightly rendered that they look like silkscreen images but are in fact painted by hand.
Fans of underground comics may know Jim for his stint as an inker on Pete Bagge's legendary "Hate" comics and his work as art director at Fantagraphics. |
