“... Along with co-curator Rodrigo Luff, we’ve asked artists from around the globe to create works of art on the pages of a Moleskine sketch book.

Each year, this continues to be one of our most anticipated shows of the year by both collectors and artists. We are blown away by the paintings, drawings, paper cuts and more that these artists created for this year’s exhibition and we know you will be, too.”

Arthur Brouthers Solo Show - Consciousness (Sweden)

Arthur Brouthers makes his Swedish debut at Anohaao Gallery with the solo show Consciousness!

Arthur Brouthers' signature acrylic pouring technique has been an influence for many aspiring artists around the world. In recent years he’s been developing his technique further, incorporating portrait photography, and using resin to create multi-layered figurative, yet other-worldly, artworks. Arthur's multidimensional work often speaks of inner worlds, which is reflected in the title of the exhibition; Consciousness.

Join us on the 8th of September for an opening in the artist’s presence. There will be two occasions on this day, one between 13-16 (1-4pm), and one between 19-21 (7-9pm). At 19.30 there will be a special music performance by a new group with members from Evil Astronaut and Mind Fox. The project is so new that they haven't even decided on a name yet, but nonetheless it's going to be a magical performance that you don't want to miss!

The exhibition runs through October 6th.

-------------- SWEDISH ---------------

Arthur Brouthers (USA) ställer för första gången ut i Sverige!

Arthur Brouthers karaktäristiska teknik, där han skapar abstrakta målningar genom att hälla akrylfärg på träpaneler (sk acrylic pouring), har varit en förebild och inspirationskälla för mängder av konstnärer världen runt. På senare år har han även börjat utveckla en mer figurativ stil, där han förenar porträttfotografi och måleri med hjälp av flera lager resin, vilket ger mångbottnade, vackra och på samma gång smått besynnerliga konstverk. Arthurs mångdimensionella verk talar ofta om inre världar, vilket även återspeglas i utställningens titel; Consciousness.

Utställningen pågår mellan 8 september - 6 oktober.

VERNISSAGE LÖRDAG 8 SEPTEMBER KL 13-16 OCH 19-21.

Kl 19.30 bjuds på ett speciellt liveframträdande av ett rykande färskt musikprojekt med medlemmar från bl a Evil Astronaut och Mind Fox. Gruppen är så pass ny att den inte ens har något namn än, men oavsett kommer det bli en magisk föreställning som du inte vill missa!

#28GRAMS Group show

#28GRAMS Group Show @FortWorksArt, FW Texas

This past weekend's journey to Fort Works Art in Texas exceeded my expectations by far. Who would've imagined Fort Worth had such a progressive and bustling art scene? #28GRAMS was an effort to bring a diverse handful of amazing artists together from all over the country. The friends made were worth the trip alone. Needless to say, there wasn't a dull moment from the time I stepped off the plane Friday morning to my departure on Sunday evening. I was truly sad to leave.

Just to highlight some of the awesome folks I spent most of time with over the weekend:

The first artist I was introduced to and immediately connected with, was the witty and charming Andre Veloux out of Princeton, NJ. If you haven’t seen what this chap can do with thousands of tiny legos, check him out. His pieces are amazing and take months to complete. (veloux.com) 

Shortly after, I stumbled across and soon became attached at the hips of Whisbe and Joseph Grazi, both from Brooklyn. Whisbe, super nice and personable dude, is known for his iconic gummy bear mugshots seen throughout New York. Grazi is a taxidermic-arranging-comedic-ninja. Both geniuses. Let’s just say we consumed an assload of Tacos. Hopefully be seeing these guys sooner than later. (whisbeworldwide.com & josephgrazi.net)

Chilean painter Alonsa Guevara, also based in NYC, is known for her portrait work incorporated with fruit. Her work is so realistic you have view at an angle to make sure it's actually 2D. Her use of light, color, composition and subject matter is crazy beautiful. Such a humble and engaging individual. (alonsaguevara.com)

One of my favs and Instagram/Basel bestie, Dan Lam, made a short but sweet appearance during the public opening Saturday. She's truly a sweet & inspiring human, and her work speaks for itself. I feel very fortunate to have her on my insta speed dial for all my art critiquing needs. (bydanlam.com)

Then there's Jessica Gordon, newish to painting, but you would never guess. Her dark yet sensual figurative works are jaw dropping. In my opinion she tops most realist painters I know who've been at it for decades. Come to find out, we live in the same city! Hoping to collaborate on a show of sorts in the coming months. (jessicaanngordon.com)

Drigo! I met this guy over my 4th meal of tacos. Another great Dallas based artist. This guys work literally pulls you in from across the room. His vivid color palette and Indigenous/cultural influenced characters are definitely worth checking out. (drigo.crevado.com)

If I've left anyone out, I apologize. My writing skills tend to struggle beyond an hour. All of the art was top notch and I wish I'd had the chance to connect with some of the others, but surely I'll be back for more tacos.

Special thanks to Fort Works Gallery Owner, Lauren Childs and Leigh Ann Williams for all the hospitality and fun times--also 2 lovely people and stellar artists. (laurenchilds.com & leighannwilliams.com)

Prayer hands and hearts,

Arthur Brouthers

Shifting Opus - 2015

Arthur Brouthers 12"x24"x2" - acrylic & resin on wood panel

Things are constantly shifting, growing, shrinking, breaking down or building up etc, at different rates. Some extremely slow over millions of years, others right before our eyes. This piece and the rest of the collection are inspired by these changes we and everything around us all experience constantly.
