About the Item
Kordansky Gallery celebrates L.A.-based artist Jonas Wood’s newest works in three of its galleries. Like the spaces they occupy, the canvases are vast, most floating at around 100” tall x 100” wide. Created with oil and acrylic, these paintings depict spaces from Wood’s own life – as well as places belonging to those he knows – and scenes from cartoons and movies that have been embedded in his memory.
Alongside representations of kitchens and bedrooms, works like Basement on Pigeon Hill represent the inside world. Others, including Romancing the Stone, a green-hued hillside view, explore the natural outside world. There are also paintings that keenly combine the two atmospheres: The scenes are at once both indoors and in nature, with Jungle Kitchen and Exterior with Hanging Plants fine exemplars.
The large scale of Wood’s paintings invites the viewer to step into the frame, a portal to a world more vibrant than our own. The scenes depict people living within those spaces, with objects such as boxes and clothing frequently dispersed throughout the images. People, on the other hand, are frequently left out of the paintings, injecting a more spatially-aware tone than an emotional one throughout these works.
Those paintings that do feature people – coyly, as it were – include Blackwelder Self– Portrait, in which the artist stands still, like a statue in a flat plane, and Helen’s Room, wherein a cat appears on the bed much like an old bunched-up sweater.
Highly stylized, these paintings clearly do more than represent one man’s surrounding environments: They keep the people that dwell in those spaces alive through a window of memory. Bringing to mind the phrase “if these walls could talk,” the flatness of the forms is compromised by the way they vibrate with juxtaposed patterning. Though they are cartoonish interpretations that employ blocks of color, the works’ many lines lend them motion, an animated quality. Dots and lines embedded throughout the framework establish the spaces as whirling and spinning rather than stagnant.
Though Wood’s paintings are flat renderings of momentarily unoccupied spaces, they are not melancholic, but dazzle in their brightness.
By dint of scale, color, use of line and detail, and an awareness of the human world, these works are emblematic of Wood’s ability to at once aestheticize the world and capture its many feelings, while simultaneously blurring the lines between the natural and the artificial.

- Shepard Fairey Evolve Devolve Print Signed Contemporary Street Art Obey GiantBy Shepard FaireyLocated in Draper, UTFrank Shepard Fairey was born February 15, 1970 in Charleston, South Carolina, USA. Fairey's adolescence was shaped by the influences of punk-rock and skateboarding. In his teens, he began creating his own bootlegged clothing and skateboard decals featuring bands and brands he liked. Fairey’s early bootlegs were created because his generally conservative parents would not purchase the clothing he wanted. In 1986, he stumbled upon the Andre the Giant image for which he has become famous for, in a local newspaper. The image was selected when Fairey demonstrated to a friend how to make a stencil; it was modified slightly to include the meaningless caption “Andre the Giant has a Posse” and made into a sticker. The sticker was reproduced en masse and began to appear around Charleston as it spread through the skateboarding community. While the sticker had no inherent meaning, the public response varied from disregard to curiosity to out-right fear. Civic groups editorialized and theorized that the Andre image was affiliated with everything from a band to a hate group. Nevertheless, the stickers were considered vandalism and in time, Fairey would face numerous charges for defacing public property. Fairey's record includes 15 arrests as of March 2009, for defacing property as a result of his so called bombing campaigns. Fairey affixed the stickers on municipal properties nearly everywhere he went, and the Andre sticker was being seen in Boston and New York City, soon others procured the image and were encouraged to spread the campaign worldwide in the form of stickers, stencils and wheat-paste posters. Following high school, Fairey was accepted to the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), where, with an interest in screen printing, he majored in illustration. In 1992, while still attending RISD, Fairey started Alternate Graphics, a mail order catalog business through which he could merchandise his own t-shirts, skateboards, posters and stickers. He also took small commercial illustration jobs to help supplement his income. Shortly thereafter, the Andre the Giant Has a Posse logo was shortened simply to Obey Giant. The Obey, for which Fairey has also become synonymous, is derived from the 1988 John Carpenter film They Live. In the film, aliens who appear as human, rule the governments and economies of the world while the humans are reduced to an unwitting, hypnotized slave-class. Themes from the film continue to appear in Fairey’s work. Over time, the Andre the Giant face was modified into a more simplified and streamlined appearance, reminiscent of Russian Constructivist/Rodchenko style Soviet propaganda posters of the 20th Century. In 1994, filmmaker Helen Stickler featured Fairey and his sticker phenomenon in her documentary: Andre the Giant has a Posse. The following year, Fairey started Subliminal Projects with the late Blaize Blouin, his friend and pro-skateboarder. Subliminal Projects created and released several Obey-Giant themed posters and skateboard decks. Fairey directed a short skateboarding film featuring some of his friends through Subliminal Projects and Alternate Graphics titled A.D.D.(Attention Deficit Disorder). In 1996, Fairey moved to San Diego, California to create Giant Distribution with partner Andy Howell. Later, with Howell, Phillip De Wolff, Dave Kinsey, he formed First Bureau of Imagery (FBI), a branding, marketing and design firm established to focus on the increasingly lucrative sports market. FBI was closed in 1999 and Fairey, along with De Wolff and Kinsey created BLK/MRKT, similar to FBI. At this time, Fairey met and began working with Amanda Alaya, whom he would later marry. BLK/MRKT moved to Los Angeles in 2001. Here, they could expand and were able to incorporate a small gallery. Fairey and Kinsey eventually bought out De Wolff’s share of the partnership and by then had set up offices in the Pellissier Building (home of the historic Wiltern Theater), in the Koreatown section of Downtown Los Angeles. In December 2001, Fairey and Alaya were married in Charleston, South Carolina, Amanda has occasionally been the model for Fairey's prints (see: Commanda, 2007). Additionally, Amanda Fairey works in the capacity as publicist, agent and representative of her husband. In 2003, Kinsey and Fairey split. Kinsey retained the BLK/MRKT name and gallery, which he relocated to Culver City, California. Fairey retained the offices and most of the employees to create Studio Number One and the gallery was renamed Subliminal Projects. Studio No. 1 has since gone on to produce numerous memorable album covers, concert and film posters. In 2004, Fairey created the magazine Swindle with his old friend Roger Gastman. Swindle is a quarterly publication that features fashion, art, music and other pop-culture elements. During the 2004 presidential election, Fairey teamed up with artists Mear One...Category
