looking forward to seeing more!

Thank you for posting that...
It's just a short bike ride from home, so we'll be going...

I knew Kris in college. It was obvious back then he'd be a successful artist. Super talented fellow.

Man, I wish I could go to this show. What a great match-up.

Ahh. Wish I could get to this show.

This sounds like a great excuse for a weekend trip to Seattle!

I soooo wish there wasn't such a big gap between their last show and this one otherwise I would have planned a seattle trip to see them. Chris Berens, Jeremy Geddes, Travis Louie and Kris Kuksi are probably my top 4 artists who's work I haven't seen in person (well, i've seen travis' sketches but not his paintings). That would have been great to be able to see them all at once!

"We are getting really excited for this show. Travis will be exhibiting a series based on "People and their pets" as well as some Lovecraftian entities, and Kris will be showing an array of his sculptural works as well as a few of his incredible, intricate drawings. Here is a teaser of a drawing in the works!" - RoqLaRue



how effin incredible is THIS?!.. I actually never knew he did drawings..

damn, it would be fantastic seeing this show in person....

found these images that look like they would fit this show quite nicely:

nice find...and very interesting.

that bear looks like he's WINNING!

looks like Travis' preview images leaked out, so I thought I might share them here as well:

I really enjoy these.. I like how Travis is playing with proportions, making both creatures and the entire images look even weirder... plus, Im especially happy to see that the drawing I purchased recently turned into a WICKED painting for this show!!! ..

Ah, man. those all look so fantastic!

The squid is outstanding. I really like the skin pattern and eyes.

Ditto!

These are so great!

all Kuksi pieces are now SOLD!.. sadly, no drawings made it to the show:
"We had planned to have a drawing also but that has been postponed due to the sheer time these 4 pieces have taken to complete ("Andromedia" for example, features thousands of components!)."
