Previous Exhibition: Scott Caan
Scott Caan has soul. His photography reflects his celebrity experiences and his travels across the world. His work has a perspective that truly is rare air – most of us will not be shoulder to shoulder with Brad Pitt, George Clooney or Lake Bell for that matter, but to limit Scott’s work to just his celebrity images would be to miss his perspective on landscapes, cityscapes, ordinary people and situations that he captures ohh so well.
Previous Exhibitions: Wolfgang Bloch
No. 16
Wolfgang Bloch was introduced to us by a good friend of the store (Brett Coates from Stussy) who said we would love his work and we took to wolfgang’s work immediately. Wolfgang is a man of few words who is very satisfied to let his unique work speak for itself.
Previous Exhibitions: Roni Stretch
Shan Buddha,titanium white,ivory.oil on canvas 50x60 inches, '08
To describe what Roni Stretch does with his art is difficult to put into words. What I can tell you is that when Canvas was a dream nearing completion, Roni Stretch looked at our dry-walled concept in the making, trusted our vision and committed to being a part of it. Roni Stretch was one of the first artist to show at Canvas in our art debut, and we were blessed by his work.
Stretch’s paintings are meditational exercises. Their perfectionism is at once spiritual and technical: the realization of perfect consciousness–and all art is ultimately about states of consciousness–and the seamless integration of figure and ground that symbolizes it.
Previous Exhibitions: Markku Lahdesmaki
ROBOCALL
Markku Lahdesmaki began his photographic journey around the neighborhoods of his hometown of Tampere, Finland. This quiet industrial city supplied Markku with inspiration and passion. And together with these forces of creativity in hand, Markku began harvesting the world for images.
Previous Exhibitions: Victoria Nodiff . A Journey’s Worth
Untitled
Victoria Nodiff is an extremely talented artist and local Malibu resident. The realism of her painted image has caused many who have viewed her work at Canvas to inquire if the images were actually photographs shopped together to create the work. Obviously this is not the case and having had the opportunity to visit Victoria in her studio, we have witnessed firsthand the amount of time, talent and love that she draws upon to give life and spirit to each of her pieces. Pieces are gouache, acrylic and metal leaf on paper.
