hernan bas

this is not the type of artwork i typically post about, but WOW, i'm totally into these paintings by hernan bas. i discovered his work when i was checking out the miami-based fredric snitzer gallery website-- and i was checking out THEIR website because i was alerted to this amazing sounding new TV show that will showcase emerging visual artists creating and competing on Bravo. Seriously, you ask? Yes, seriously! They are having open casting calls RIGHT NOW, so if you are in chicago, new york, or miami, you may just want to get your butt over there and show 'em your stuff- click here for the full details.

but back to the artwork-- aren't these paintings incredible? you can see more of hernan's work at the fredric snitzer gallery in miami, lehmann maupin gallery in new york, sandroni.rey gallery in los angeles, and the victoria miro gallery in london.

and did i mention he's just 2 years older than me? sigh.
