Johnny B. Good

Tonight is our opening for Jonathan Bergeron's "The Ordinary Life Of Death," and seeing all of Johnny's work hanging in the gallery reminds me why he's one of my favorite artists. Check out these pieces from the show:

And because of that darn volcanic ash, the Lora Zombie pieces didn't make it to the gallery (it's stuck in London), but the pieces are all available and awesome. 

You can see the whole show by CLICKING HERE - http://nineteeneightyeight.com/index.php/la/bergeronzombie.html?limit=25&p=1

Hope to see some of you tonight at G1988:LA, 7-10 PM, as Canadian artist Johnny Bergeron will be here, and he brought some incredible limited edition fitted "Death" hats (just like the ones you see above in his painting). Cap your ass.

Walking Dead Volcano

The last day of the Kathie Olivas/Brandt Peters show has arrived and we're sad to see it go. It's really been a great feeling to be able to see this work, in all different types of mediums and shapes, around the gallery everyday. Farewell, awesome show!

But we get to say hello to a totally different, and awesome, show - "The Ordinary Life Of Death" - a solo show from artist Johnny Bergeron. This show will also feature new works from artist Lora Zombie, or at least we hope so. Because of the volcanic ash issue, we might not be getting the works in time for the opening reception, but our fingers are still crossed. In the meanwhile, as we pray, the least I can do is show you what you're praying about. Here are some previews of our favorite import from Russia since Cousin Balky.

So let's just keep with the good thoughts, because they all will eventually get to us. I just think it's up to our thoughts to get it here quicker. Ok, I don't really. Make sure to come to the opening reception, Tuesday, April 27th, 7-10 PM and see how it unfolds. We also just got word from Johnny Bergeron that he will be attending, so now you have to go.

Next upppp in LA

We're so excited to announce our next show at Gallery1988: Los Angeles, "The Ordinary Life Of Death," which is the debut LA solo show for Montreal native Johnny Bergeron (formerly the artist known as Johnny Crap). We're also proud to have new works on display from Russian native Lora Zombie, who will be showing her largest collection of works yet also.

This show will open Tuesday, April 27 with an opening reception from 7-10 PM and from the previews I've seen from both artists (soon to be seen here on the blog as well!), it's gonna be an impressive one.

This is the last week to check out the Kathie Olivas/Brandt Peters show as well, so swing by if you've been putting it off.

Lora Zombie

We are so thrilled to be putting together Lora Zombie's first ever art show at the Clandestine Industries Landmark Store in Chicago. It opens tonight at the Clandestine Holiday party, running from 6-10 PM. Russian born artist Lora Zombie is an incredible emerging talent who already has a Hollywood who's-who of buyers, and that's all been without even having a traditional gallery show. Luckily, you'll be seeing her a lot at Gallery1988 in the next year, so let's kick it off here in Chicago tonight! 

And you blog readers can preview, and purchase, the new Lora Zombie artwork at http://g1988lorazombie.blogspot.com/.

Some GREAT holiday gifts in there at affordable prices.

Hopefully see some of you tonight, as I'll be at the store from 6-10 PM as well bringing in the Holiday cheer. And being in snow for the 2nd time in life.

Best For Last

December 2009 / January 2010 is easily the most exciting 2 month span in Gallery1988 history. With SF opening Paper Pushers, 88point5 rolling out with 1988 fav Chris B. Murray and Los Angeles opening Vivisect Playset, The LOST Underground Art Show and our annual January Under The Influence show (more on that later in the week) -it's what many would call a busy time of the year. But December 2009 will also mark our first art show at the Clandestine Industries Landmark store in Chicago, Illinois. With Clandestine Industries owner Pete Wentz, Gallery1988 will be orchestrating and curating art shows every once in a while over in Chicago, hoping to bring some of our west coast flare out to the Midwest. And our first Clan Art Show will open December 19th, introducing Russian artist Lora Zombie, a promising name you'll be seeing a lot of at 1988 in the next few years.



Lora, who's work was recently seen as the iTunes art for Fall Out Boy's new single "Alpha Dog," is an extremely talented young artist making her US debut at the Clandestine Landmark store. Already creating quite the buzz on the Internet, Zombie is ready to breakout - and now is the time to pick up her work while it's still affordable. Here are a few examples...







Lora's art show will be part of the Clandestine Holiday party, which will also mark the first time clothes from the "Death of Neon" collection (which includes a Lora Zombie designed shirt) will be available in the store. Exclusive Clandestine jewelry and a new Lora Zombie Landmark exclusive shirt will be first available during the event as well. And I'll be visiting!

Stay tuned to the blog, and our website, for previews and ways to pick up Lora's artwork - as we'll be selling the work through our normal avenues. And those in Chicago, we'd love to see on December 19th.
