John Dunivant

I can’t believe we’ve been posting on Michigan artists for almost three years and have yet to post on the amazing work of John Dunivant. Most Detroiters know John as the head of Theatre Bizarre, a yearly circus themed party formerly held at the abandoned Michigan Fair Grounds, and now taking place at the Masonic Temple. John, also one of the 2011 Kresge Art Fellowship winers, designed and painted the stages, sets, and signage for Theatre Bizarre.

Bayo

I really dig these black and white drawing and paintings by Mexican, and now Austin resident Bayo (Eduardo Flores).

Tom Thewes Solo at 323 East 10/9/10

I remember when I first saw the work of Tom Thewes hanging on the walls of CPop Gallery.
My first two thoughts were a) Is this a digital work? and b) If not, how did he do it? Tom’s pieces are extensively layered airbrush and spray paint pieces that have incredible depth and extremely clean lines. Tom opens his first solo show in nine years at Royal Oak’s 323 East this Saturday, October 9th at 6:00pm.

The show runs through November 4th and any unsold pieces will be on display at this years Dirty Show.

Elizabeth Levesque

I really like the work Elizabeth Levesque, wife of the incredibly talented illustrator Jason Levesque. Currently living in Norfolk, VA Elizabeth has been part of many shows locally and nationally most recently the Friendly Ghosts & Pretty Gross group show at Jarrod Fergeson Gallery.

Elizabeth will be a part of a group show at The Art Gallery in Norfolk in June of next year and also sells work through her Etsy shop.
