Showing now until March, The LVAN and Homebase are proud to present the art of Joseph Curwen.
I have known the artist known as Joseph Curwen for many years. He is very reclusive in his art and it a pleasure to host him, albeit, on a toned down scale from his usual extra dark creations. This only further shows his diversity as an artist. Stop in and see his display while its up. See a past show featured HERE
“A traveler from beyond, Joseph Curwen, representative of ancient forces and trapped in a human shell, journeys through mind altering explorations of natures chaos. From these wanderings come art forms of madness, doom, and strange prophecies”
I was given a chance to talk to Jon Lunger on SteelStacksLIVE.org about both my art and the LVAN. It was a great experience and hopefully helps promote the LVAN in future local events.
I displayed a LVAN solo show at Homebase that ran from November until January titled “Everything Cool Has Been Done”. I continued to push my series of Girls With Guns and some smaller works. I redisplayed a series of breakfast cereal inspired spraypaint cans that originated for the Cereal Killers show a couple years prior but have never been displayed on the East Coast. I also displayed smaller works and a classic photo as well as making and packaging 25 limited edition(and sold out) “Dime Bags” that are hand sewn felt versions of a long running tag. If you missed it here are some highlighs, Enjoy. Paintings still available if interested.
The mural that I painted for the More Serious Business show at the NCC building on 3rd st Bethlehem , ended up on the front cover of the Morning Call Newspaper last weekend. There was also a full picture of my wall on the cover of the Saturday section deeper inside. It was an honor considering all of the talented, highly educated artists included in the show. I had a great time painting it and being involved in More Serious Business. Once again, the Underground is not Unnoticed.
When is the last time you woke to a girl pointing a gun at you on the cover of the Morning Call?
“Josh Novak of Bethlehem is one of dozens of local artists featuring work in a large variety of mediums in’More Serious Business, Art of the Valley’, on display through Oct. 1″
“Homebase &Emerica proudly premiere “Stay Gold” to the 610 at the Bethlehem Skateplaz with the help of our friends at Stoketoberfest & Movies, Games & More* who will be providing a HUGE inflatable outdoor screen and sound system. We will be taking voluntary donations for the Bethlehem Skateplaza before the video plays so come wit ha few extra bucks to help us put money in the bank for Phase 2. ”
If you read skate mags (like any over the last 4 years) you know this team and this video are not to be missed. Consider this a cooler drive-in with out the cars, stale popcorn,and mandatory charge (but you will donate, right?) Its going to be Banger central between the Vid and the Best Trick Contest. All I can say is the usual ,Don’t miss it and see you there.
