Alex Gross's Discrepancies exhibit opens at Jonathan LeVine Gallery

Jonathan LeVine Gallery in New York is now showing the Discrepancies solo exhibition by our artist Alex Gross. As Alex stated in his exclusive Juxtapoz interview, "A discrepancy is a small but significant difference in two or more things that should be the same. The imagery that I paint appears realistic, and yet, there is almost always something a bit off, different." In conjunction with the show, Alex has also released a book of the same title, published by Gingko Press. Discrepancies is the product of two and a half years of work. The show contains nineteen paintings on canvas, panel and paper, as well as twenty-seven small mixed media pieces done directly upon antique photographs. It runs through October 9.

Heflinreps American Illustration 28 Winners

Our artists Alex Gross, Tatsuro Kiuchi, Paul Rogers, and Sonia Pulido have had artwork selected for the AI 28 annual book due out in November 2009. Miguel Gallardo also had pieces chosen for the website.

Alex Gross has a series of four mixed-media paintings on antique cabinet photos from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Two of them were also selected for Communications Arts 50, along with three other cabinet cards and two paintings.

Tatsuro Kiuchi has two works selected: an image from "The Sea, The Sea" by Iris Murdoch and "Kazuhiro Kiyohara, The Last Superstar," from Sports Graphic Number magazine. Tatsuro recently illustrated "The Sea, The Sea" for the Folio Society in the UK. "Kazuhiro Kiyohara" was also chosen for CA 50 this year.

Paul Rogers will have "Nobody Plays Handball Anymore" published in the annual, an image from his sketchbook. He was in Greenwich Village last year and saw this playground roller-hockey game, and the scene reminded him of the great playground scene by Ben Shahn called "Handball."

"Friends" is the title of Sonia Pulido's selected illustration from her personal work. Miguel Gallardo had two images chosen for the AI 28 website. Miguel's first chosen piece was "Melancholy," published in La Vanguardia's Sunday magazine. Miguel got his inspiration from Dali's soft watches and DeChirico's illustrations of sadness. His other chosen piece was "VIPs in Hollywood" published in LA Confidential magazine.
