KRK Ryden, who has been featured in Juxtapoz before, has a new exhibition, The Ultra Glob Show, opening at WWA Gallery in Culver City this Friday night (Feb 25). If you remember, Mr KRK worked with the band DEVO back in the day. Back Talk after the jump . . .

Anthony Clarkson, who will be showing A Time To Forget at Thinkspace Gallery's Project Roon on February 5, is also a profiled artist in the February issue of Juxtapoz. We catch up with the artist and take a look at his gloomy, surreal works on the eve of his solo show. Back Talk after the jump . . . 

Kelly Vivanco, who will be opening her first Los Angeles solo exhibition, Springs To Mind, on February 5, is the subject of this edition of Back Talk. Springs will showcase over two-dozen new acrylic paintings on both canvas and wood panel, including Vivanco’s largest paintings to date alongside several works that incorporate moving parts.

Let's hear from Paul Barnes, who will be showing in the Project Room at Thinkspace starting this Saturday, January 8th: "I guess my closeness to nature and the slight isolation of growing up in the rural north of Scotland, along with my fascination of its ancient traditions rich in folklore and legend no doubt forms the basis of my work, no matter how much I try to escape it. It’s this inspiration, from a very early age, that fuels a big part of my imagination today." More after the jump . . .

Another good way to end the year. Thinkspace Gallery has shown a strong program this year in Culver City, and we close 2010's Back Talks with Seth Armstrong, who is showing with Adam Caldwell and Brett Amory in There It Is, opening at Thinkspace next Saturday night, January 8, 2011. Feels good to write 2011. Back Talk after the jump . . .

We continue our Back Talks in conjunction with Thinkspace Gallery's upcoming There It Is exhibition featuring the work of Adam Caldwell, Seth Armstrong, and Brett Amory. Today, we speak with increasingly popular fine artist Brett Amory, who continues to have strong showings in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Back Talk after the jump . . .

We appreciate an artist who takes the Back Talk and just goes for it. Adam Caldwell goes for it. We are hoping the work at his show in Thinkspace Gallery, opening January 8, 2011, will also feature work that goes for it. The show, There It Is, features the work of Caldwell, Brett Amory, and Seth Armstrong. Read about Caldwell after the jump . . .
