Todd Slater was recently asked to participate in Gallery 1988′s yearly Crazy for Cult Show.  Artists from all over are commissioned to illustrate their favorite scene from a number of films.  The small text on the bottom of Todd’s “Rushmore print reads: “Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can’t buy backbone”.  In addition to the regular run there is a beautiful metallic copper variant signed and numbered to 20 copies.  These are very limited so I doubt they will last till morning.  Pick one up at Todd’s site if you like.

Vincent Michael Gallery is pleased to present fullyLOADED, an exhibition featuring a diverse range of both emerging and seasoned artists from across the U.S.  The exhibition is set to run from Friday, August 6th to Saturday August 28th.  In celebration of our featured artists, Vincent Michael Gallery is hosting an opening reception Friday, August 6th from 6pm-9pm with a special installation from artist Morgan Thomas.

The fullyLOADED Exhibition presents an array of artists who continue to push boundaries in contemporary art. Over the last few years, the world of contemporary art has experienced a surge of artistic production and originality. fullyLOADED aims to present these multiple currents of creative production in contemporary art and examine the impact these diverse artists and styles are having on the Contemporary Art movement and pop culture.

As a result, we’re pleased to feature Philadelphia’s own Thomas Buildmore and Morgan Thomas of OverKill Studios, Philadelphia. Special for fullyLOADED, Thomas Buiildmore has produced a Limited Edition Embellished Print featuring his signature and iconic ‘Big Boy’ painting. Morgan Thomas, artist extraordinaire, will create a one of a kind installation piece specifically for the opening reception of fullyLOADED.

In addition, Vincent Michael Gallery is honored to showcase new works by New York City based artist Shawn Bishop Leo who describes her work as multi-layered paintings “oscillating between the coy and the fierce, a sort of parlay between dominance and submission.  She has exhibited her work extensively both in New York City, L.A., Miami and now Philadelphia.

Rounding out our robust lineup is New York City based artist Scott Chasse and OverKill Boston member Kenji Nakayama who continue to defy contemporary boundaries with Chasse’s pop culture references and Nakayama’s intricate hand-made stencils.  We’re also delighted to feature the illustrative works of artists Edward Robin-Coronel, Jim Bradshaw and Michele Melcher.
