  • Exit Through the Gift Shop
    Exit Through the Gift Shop
    When British stencil artist Banksy traveled to Los Angeles to work, he came across obscure French filmmaker Thierry Guetta and his badly organized collection of videotapes involving the activities of graffiti artists. Inspired, Banksy assembled them with new footage to create this talked-about documentary, and the result is a mind-boggling and odd film (so strange as to be thought a hoax by some) about outsider artists and the definition of art itself.
  • The Impressionists

Featured Artist Friday: David Sikes

DateFriday, April 20, 2012 at 4:00PM

David SikesDavid Sikes is a wonderful oil painter--as well as a novice printer--who lives in Pasadena, California.  David experimented with painting on canvas, paper, and metal before landing on his media of choice--Luan wood veneer. This foundation imbues his highly detailed and beautifully colored works with a wholly unique look--and the results are outstanding. He’s painted landscapes, polo matches, Springer Spaniels, Dory boat competitions and, most recently, flowers. The art featured here includes: “Encore! Flowers” and “Steps of Carmel”. David has been workshopping with me for several years now--and it’s always a pleasure to watch both his process--and his results! If you’re interested in acquiring art by David Sikes, please contact davesfile2@gmail.com.
