COOP painting show in Culver City

COOP's first solo show in three years opens this Friday, May 29, at the Corey Helford Gallery in Culver City, California. The exhibition features an original soundtrack composed by Mark Mothersbaugh! Pegged on the exhibition, Juxtapoz posted the first in a two-part interview with COOP. From Juxtapoz:

What can we expect from your new show?

A progression in what I have been doing since 2004, large-scale Pop Art. I’m a lot more interested in texture and color these days, as a result the paintings are becoming less purely figurative and representational, and moving towards abstraction. I’m also incorporating techniques and materials that I haven’t used previously, like stencils and spray paint, along with hand-painted replication of mechanical printing techniques like halftones.

Well, that devil reminds me of the cover Mothersbaugh did for Henry Rollins' book The First Five.

Looks like I'll need to rent a car or cop a ride over the hill on my next visit to LA.

I likes me the big paintings in person.

will there be a catalog? i'm assuming this will nothing less than awesome! i'm also saddened by the fact that i don't live near enough to see it in person...

I may have to check that out, given that it would take me about 2 minutes to walk there from where I live.

I'll be there! the postcard has been stuck on my bookshelf since I picked it up from the Gary Baseman show at CHG.
