Mike Weiss Gallery is pleased to announce Runyon Canyon, our first exhibition featuring the work of Los Angeles based artist Christian Vincent. The exhibition will be on view through August 16, 2008. A new language for the artist, these works present a strong sense of expectation, dominating the overall atmosphere and  feature a motley cast of characters situated in uncanny vignettes. 

Mike Weiss Gallery is happy to announce that we now represent artists Graham Gillmore and Osvaldo Romberg. Graham Gillmore is a Canadian artist, living and working out of New York and British Columbia, primarily known for his large, text-based works presenting loaded, thought provoking messages with occasional dark undertones. He exhibits internationally with work in several permanent collections including the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Osvaldo Romberg is an Argentinean born artist and a Senior Curator at the Slought Foundation. His work confronts the viewer with questions regarding the examination, interpretation as well as the presentation of art and art history as a whole. Osvaldo Romberg's work has been widely exhibited with several institutions housing his work.

Amy Myers and Yigal Ozeri will be featured in an exhibition presented by the Morris Museum titled Timeless - An Exhibition of Drawings which will run from September 30th to December 31st. The exhibition will center on the ideas of the direct relationship between the artist and the medium which transfers a sense of spontaneity and risk to the act of drawing as well as the notion of drawing as a primitive means of artistic expression that continues to be practiced.

From October 19th to January 25th, the Weatherspoon Art Museum will present the Art on Paper 2008 biennial exhibition and will feature work by Amy Myers. This year marks the 40th anniversary of this exhibition that analyzes the state of contemporary drawing and other works on, or made out of paper.
