Artspace Warehouse artworks on CBS television shows "2 Broke Girls" and "How to be a gentleman"
Hollywood is known by its excellence in film and television. Hollywood, to be precise Warner Bros and CBS, have discovered and used artworks exhibited at Los Angeles gallery Artspace Warehouse.
- (1888PressRelease) October 19, 2011 - CBS television show 2 Broke Girls, in search of trendy, original and better background imagery, repeatedly visited Artspace Warehouse to purchase and rent out a wide range of international artworks. Shortly after, CBS show "How To Be A Gentleman" also selected a large number of artworks for their set. The artworks were incorporated in scenes that ranged from a stylish NY condo, a trendy restaurant, and office and contemporary art gallery.
The museum-quality of the works lends itself as just the most fitting background to these television shows. The producers and set designers eagerly hand-picked the artworks out of thousands of artists and images they had at their disposal. But the quality and affordability of original pieces is found only at Artspace Warehouse. The artworks had the right price and ultimate quality the two shows of national caliber on CBS required. The artists whose pieces were on loan at CBS show "2 Broke Girls" and "How to be a gentleman" are LA-based Hilary Bond, Berlin-based Carl Smith, German artist Christian Manss, LA artist Johnny Taylor and Barcelona-born and Los Angeles artist Raul de la Torre.
The works are part of the current show COLORS, currently on view at Artspace Warehouse.
COLORS, like features, follow the changes of the emotions. - Picasso
Hilary Bond was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. After attending the Baltimore School for the Arts she went to The Cooper Union and received a BFA. Hilary now lives in Los Angeles with her husband and dog. Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, American culture, and childhood influence Bond's choices in color, brush work, material, and composition.
Carl Smith was born in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It was there where he was exposed to art early on at his parent's gallery. Since 2001 he has lived and worked in Berlin. His has exhibited his work in France, Germany, Norway, Holland, USA and England, either in solo shows or as a member of a four man team called TABI (Tesuque Art Barn International).
He combines his own photographic material with drawings and other fragments of narrative imagery. He works with several layout combinations before creating a finished image. From this image, he selects and transmits specific parts onto a canvas in a screen printing process and further completes his works with oil paint.
Christian Manss was born in 1978 in Eisenach and studied in Leipzig, Germany. He lived in Zurich early 2000 and since 2010 in Dresden, Germany.
The focus of his paintings is on animal boundaries, the marking of zones, surfaces and signs in the urban landscape. In a mixture of photography, collages, graphics and painting, he puts together existing natural conditions to form a new painting collage. The result is the "Urban Zoo".
He has exhibited in Switzerland and Germany. His artwork has been acquired by the Weisman Art Foundation and Museum.
Born on September 26, 1971, in Helena, Arkansas, Johnny Taylor grew up in and around Memphis, Tennessee. Early inspirations were MAD Magazine, Star Wars, and the rock band KISS-an art/film/music troika of influences that would remain consistent.
Taylor began painting as a student at the University of Memphis (BFA, Art History, 1996). Showing paintings regularly, he has not strayed far from the hard-edged cartoon style that marked his initial efforts. Primarily painted in acrylics, Taylor's output has tapered somewhat from his earlier, dizzyingly prolific period.
Raul de la Torre was born in Barcelona, Spain and currently resides in Los Angeles. Experimentation with different materials, textures and techniques in each of the paintings has been a point of discovery and a major part of his artwork.
The major motivation for the idea behind his recent series CIUTATS was his city of origin, Barcelona, its infrastructure and architecture which is unique among the cities of the world and easily recognizable. His attraction to the great cities of the world and the urban life was the incentive to portray other cities such as Tokyo and Paris. His artworks portray the different aspects of the cities as a human creation with their different levels of physical and social existence.
