Paul Insect – Triptease Revue Opens at Post No Bills

As RJ mentioned a bit ago, Paul Insect has a new show in Los Angeles. A lot of care went into hanging and lighting this one, with the bulk of the work focusing on thematically-appropriate low light and dedicated spots on the pieces to highlight Insect’s bold colors. That being said, the darkest part of the gallery seemed to be the biggest draw, as visitors lingered around the Peep Show Box located in the middle of the room for a chance to peek through the lens. “Triptease Review” runs through December 1st at Post No Bills: 1103 Abbot Kinney Boulevard, Venice, CA 90291.

Paul Insect – Triptease Revue at Post No Bills

The UK’s Paul Insect has a show, Triptease Revue, opening next month at Post No Bills in LA. While he might be best known in some circles for reportedly selling a boatload of art to Damien Hirst, Paul Insect has had a presence on the street on and off for years, even collaborating with Sweet Toof on a number of occasions recently. Paul Insect is one of those artists that I’m constantly going back and forth about. I’ll see one piece and love it, and then see another and thing it’s way too obvious, but at least that means he is constantly changing his style up and not getting stuck into one thing. I’m curious to see just what he’s come up with for Triptease Revue. Here are a few teaser shots:

Triptease Revue opens on November 2nd and runs through December 1st.

Ron English round-up

Ron English has been busy with projects in LA recently. Here’s some of what he’s been up to:

His English 101 show opened at Post No Bills. Arrested Motion has photos and the Post No Bills webstore has plenty of work from the show available for sale (including posters for just $20).
Ron did a pretty substantial wheat paste on LA’s famous Barracuda shop facade.
A shop in Venice has been loaded up with some of Ron’s parody cereal boxes.
Over in New York, Ron will be at a signing on October 14th at the New York Comic Con. He’ll be at the Dynomighty Booth (booth 778 in the Cultyard Section) from noon to 1pm.

Interestingly, Ron recently had a solo show of original works at Lazarides in London (Steve Lazarides is a co-owner of Post No Bills), he’ll have this show of limited edition works at Post No Bills and then he has a solo show of original works next month at LA’s Corey Helford Gallery.
