I haven't seen Donnie Molls around in a while because he has been hard at work creating a fabulous new body of work including pieces made from car pistons. The show is titled "Disposable Culture" and is on view until August 25th at Edward Cella Art + Architecture in Los Angeles.

If you are in the Orlando area be sure to stop by Twelve 21 Gallery for Brandon McLean's current solo show titled "In Bloom". The show features all new pieces and exploration of new themes. Brandon's work has a thoughtful narrative and a beautiful collaging technique that has become more perfected with each body of work that he produces. These works delicately balance paint and collage utilizing patterns of stars, repeated stripes, and flower motifs to create depth. I am a huge fan of Brandon's work and it is always nice to see his newest creations.

Robert Mars’ artwork chronicles an evolving fascination with the Golden Age of American popular culture and celebrates the icons of the 1950’s and 60’s
by taking inspiration from this culture long past. Through the application of a rich color palette and tongue-in-cheek attitude, Mars’ paintings evoke a
vintage quality of design and pay homage to the idealized age of growth and hopefulness that was prevalent in the USA at the end of the Depression.
A time before the internet and mobile technology, where information was not instantly available to millions and there was no such thing as instant internet
celebrities, and instead people lived with the myth of the unique, untouchable and unforgettable personalities of Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, James
Dean, Audrey Hepburn and Elvis Presley.
Mars’ work is exhibited with the likes of Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst, and Robert Rauschenberg,
and has been shown worldwide including galleries in Munich, Tokyo, Amsterdam, London, Australia, Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Laguna Beach, Paris, Aspen, and Bulgaria.
