Juxtapoz decided to take an impromptu trip down the coast to Los Angeles this weekend. Amongst the gallery visits and exhibit openings, we also stopped by to check out Audrey Kawasaki’s latest work. We absolutely love the new and (literally) darker direction Kawasaki’s painting is taking. These two pieces were just finished as part of a 15-piece series she’s working on for her first international solo show in Rome later this year! See more on the amazing Kawasaki at www.audrey-kawasaki.com.

In case you haven’t noticed, the incredibly talented Audrey Kawasaki has recently updated her website. Complete with a new array of her delicate paintings, doodles, some personal photos of her studio, and of course, the obligatory store section, we could happily fall right in to Kawasaki’s world for hours, blissfully brosing through her signature painted wood panel creations. Dive in at www.audrey-kawasaki.com.

Audrey Kawasaki just posted a process blog on a recent oil on canvas painting she did. Audrey, known for incorporating the bare wood grain of panels into the imagery of her work, is just lately exploring working on canvas.

Audrey Kawasaki went to one of Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School drawing salons in Los Angeles at M Bar. She shares some of her sketches from the event and a few Polaroids on her blog i-seldom-do.livejournal.com. {moscomment}

Wow, that was fast. Audrey Kawasaki put up a post last night about pre-orders for her new prints, and already both runs of the smaller, less expensive prints are gone, sayonara... She seems to still have some of the bigger one, "Oiran", a giclée print on archival paper, 18"x25" printed on a 20"X28" sheet, signed and numbered limited edition of 150. She's got more coming in July, but if you want one of these, visit her blog for details, i-seldom-do.livejournal.com. {moscomment}

Audrey Kawasaki posted some in-process photos of a new painting she's working on. Like a too-long Haiku, she writes, "i like her best in the first few minutes of painting her. when she's just barely there. like a ghost, slowly creeping up to surface." Be sure to look over the rest of her blog. Lots of beautiful images including her piece for the Venus group show that opens on June 8th at Roq La Rue in Seattle, and her exquisuite central piece, titled "Oiran", that she contributed to Smitten, which just wrapped up at Thinkspace in LA.
