Kim West
My newest work is rooted in the visuals of mass migrations and the linked
and largely unexplained instinctual drive that obligate the animals/insects to move.
Specific migrations that fascinate are those of wildebeests, zebras,
passenger pigeons and monarch butterflies.

Ian O'Phelan
“I think of my artwork as a meandering study and description of natural objects. My portfolio, an ever growing Wunderkammer, is a collection of the ironic and the sentimental. It provides a means of reconciling a bubbling unconscious spiritualism with the mundanities of daily life.”

The paintings and photos of Mr. Ward and Daniel Louis Rivas
THE ART OF MR. WARD AND DANIEL LOUIS RIVAS is a culmination of emotions, experiences and places.
Things that once were and things that will never be again.
Passing moments and uncertain futures.
Looking inward and looking to the vast surrounding of their changing universe. The parallels of these two artists are that they met and collaborated at the crossroads of their journey to express thy self. Be it photography or painting. The things they have in common and the things that distinguish them separately.
Questioning authority and questioning themselves.
Why?
To be an artist, to live out loud.

Tofer Chin, Dallas Clayton, and Vanessa Prager
It started as a tree. It got chopped and shredded, chipped and shipped, wrapped in a package and then sold. It was in a car, in a trunk, on a shelf, by itself, sitting blank-faced in a house. Until one day a person had a thought, and wanted to share it, behold it, and own it, on paper.
It got inked or got torn or cut up in pieces. Maybe run through a machine, or sprayed with matte sheen. Or doodled and scribbled or carefully assembled. Or colored or crinkled or drawn on, then glittered.
A thought took a form, and a form took its place, and then it was done.
It was a work on paper.

Matt Bilfield
The upcoming show, entitled 8teen,000 is the collection of 18,000 meticulously placed wooden pegs distributed amongst a number of works. The show explores the spontaneity of romantic 50's comic emotion within a medium that is anything but spontaneous. With this show the artist wanted to fit the organic imagery of the human face into a methodical and mathematical medium. Further, the artist wanted to allow the spectator to dictate the movement within the pieces by viewing them from different perspectives and creating their own ideal vantage point.

Ryan Graeff and Restitution Press
From bombing the streets of this nation with a wheat paste icon named Bandit to hand silkscreening over a dozen volumes of urban-coated, texture-saturated, color-enriched newspapers called The Restitution Press, Graeff gets around. Based in his warehouse studio in downtown L.A., Graeff is a full time artist by day, and a slave to bombing the streets by night.
With his Bandit image, a band called The 1990s, the newest pop craze out of London, has worn Graeffs latest t-shirt line. His art is featured on the big screen in Will Smiths film, Hancock. Graeff is loved by collectors, fellow artists, and celebrities alike.

"This show is all about human nature and how varied the human experience can be. I wanted to explore everything from searching for love to heartache, from birth, to death, sexuality, drug use, suicide, self image, insecurities, fears, hopes, and dreams. This is the most figurative and personal show I have done. I have used images of people I know, personal experiences and even myself to try and portray all these aspects." --Joshua Roman, Artist

Stephen Holman
British-born painter and performance artist, Stephen Holman’s irreverent, multi-media work bridges the gap between hi-brow and low-brow, combining bio-science and political satire with messy, surreal comedy, demon whisks, dancing toilets and cheese-slice propulsion machines. His work has been called “a wildly inventive treat” by the LA Times and “performance art at its finest, with the guts to go beyond the boundaries” by the LA Weekly. Included in this exhibition of his paintings will be a kinetic sculpture project made in collaboration with machine sound artist Matt Heckert.

Andy Suriano
Originally docked in Detroit, Michigan, the artist hooked up with a circus-type, comedy/magic show when he was 18. He traveled the world performing for the next 7 years. Andy’s specialty: walking on his hands as a two foot tall Elvis. The mythology and imagery the artist uses of circus performers, children and sailors are infused with pop elements. Thus combining not only his experiences traveling on the road and overseas, but also his current endeavors of animation and cartoons. The tongue and cheek, yet intentionally “overtly dramatic”, staged compositions poke fun at the seriousness of the underlying tone and theme of an endangered childhood and innocence lost.

The “Space Between” all began on the porches I used to sit on as a kid when I lived on the east coast. The porch was a space between indoors and outdoors. You could be outside yet inside when it rained and gain all the benefits of the weather show without the consequences of inclemency on your skin. I quickly realized that there were “spaces between” in life all the time. Being in that “space between” is the central theme of the show. You wait for the doctor, for tickets, for seats at the movies, for the buffet table, or you wait at your table for a meal. Is this time any less important than the time you get to do your actual activity or business? As two people get to know each other there is the “space between” phone calls or between dates where lots of assumptions and thoughts grow and blossom or not. And then there is the space after – like the space after the doctor visit or the space after the show that you stood in line for which is really again the “space between” because the space after can give way to waiting in a taxi line or waiting in the car at a light or waiting to go to the doctor again. I am exploring the “space between” because I observed that these times are often considered less significant than the real activities or events that surround them. But that is not true. Here we sit in a life that is the “Space Between” birth and death. In fact, I see life as string of betweens.

always been Xlarge's chosen form of comment...and they are sticking to it,
so expect to see some funny icon based graphic prints as well as a few silly
surprises. In addition to the in house crew featuring Eli Bonerz, Rory
