New Work by Snaggs Le Merde & Scrappers at GRNY
This saturday, Giant Robot will present Mossy & Glossy, a group show featuring new works by artists from the Pacific Northwest with excellent nicknames: Justin “Scrappers” Morrison, Candi “Snaggs” Hibert, and Mike “Le Merde” Kelly.
According to a press release, “The art of Scrappers reflects the outdoorsy environment of Portland, OR and his new pieces will preview his upcoming book about a logging crew, feral scouts, beards, and mushrooms. Seattle-based Snaggs was inspired by stuffed Nauga Monsters from the ’60s to become a felt artist. Her rainbow-colored body of work, which includes “paintings,” dolls, and pillows, has a retro modern style that combines the handmade quality of craft with the sensibility of clean design. Le Merde has gained a rabid following in the limited-edition figure scene with his molten and oozing but cute style.”
A reception for Scrappers, Snaggs, and Le Merde will be held from 6:30 to 10:00 on Saturday, June 21.
Artwork will be available to view and purchase online next week.

Christopher Jernberg is a “Master of Any Situation”
Imagine yourself as James Bond, MacGyver, Houdini, James Dean; people who lived their lives with adventure, love, struggle and strength. We have heroes, role models and rare individuals that inspire the inner navigator to become something great. For Christopher Jernberg this is one aspect that drives his passion for life. With his next collection of pieces entitled Master of Any Situation, Jernberg opens a portal into his complex state of being.
Born into a life similar to that of a Hollywood movie, and then later dumped into harsh reality with loss of money, respect, and ability to find fulfillment, Jernberg had to create a new existence. In his text-paintings words of inspiration and qualities like: enlightened and able, concepts like: improvise, modify, adapt, and overcome and entities such as Jason Bourne, Andy Warhol, and Bruce Lee create a unique autobiographical mosaic. Jernberg explains the “goal in mind of being a better navigator in any situation, internally and externally, redefining my identity and activities; studying nutrition, philosophy, history, wilderness and urban survival, martial arts… mostly anything that made sense in regard to getting a grip on What Is and How-To.”
His art is not only a visually appealing and thought-provoking message but represents a philosophy of life. The pieces are direct, harmonized and lucid in Helvetica and Old English font. Each letter seems to bleed into the other with intentional connectedness, brush strokes stretching to the edge of the canvas creating obscurity in each frame. Often combining different pieces of art creating a collage of imagery the whole then becomes greater than the sum of its parts.
Master of Any Situation opens at Gallery Three Annex/DA Arts in San Francisco on Saturday, June 7th and will show through July 19th. Details at www.shootingallerysf.com/gallerythree.

Carlos Ramos’ “Natural History” Solo Exhibition
Los Angeles artist Carlos Ramos has a solo exhibition of new work titled Natural History Museum Part I coming up at Corey Helford Gallery. For his first solo show in LA, Ramos replicates the natural history museum experience for his audience, fusing the natural world with the art world.
A series of twenty-four large-scale paintings based on classic grand dioramas and a special installation of skeletal structures will transform the gallery into an epicenter of flora and fauna. The concept of the exhibition is based on Ramos’ childhood fascination with natural history museums and the “authoritative” impression they made on him growing up.
Developing a show around a cohesive theme as well as expanding the size and scale of his work mark an exciting new direction for the artist, which has allowed him to explore environments and characters more freely than in the past.
Natural History Museum Part I will open on Saturday, June 28th and will be on view until July 16th. More info at coreyhelfordgallery.com.
