I recently caught the latest show of artist Josh Agle--who works under the pseudonym "Shag"(which I just realized while typing comes from joSH AGle...clever). The show was called "Autumn's Come Undone" and showed at the Corey Helford Gallery (a great space) in Culver City. The show was really enjoyable. It reminded me (and pardon me for sounding like a philistine) of a giant Where's Waldo book. Each of the prints (about 4 feet by 6 feet) was a scene with similar characters in a different color. There were themes that persisted throughout many of the paintings (whales, musicians, objects suspended from high above the border, things disappearing into the ground, people generating power, and so on) and even things that connected between prints next to one another (e.g. a rollercoaster that spanned three of them). I had a hard time making sense of any of it, if it was trying to say something, but it was plenty fun just to experience on a purely visual level. His website is here and you'll see work from some other shows as well as the page where I lifted these photos from.
As for other great art, you need to see this as well.
