ViperA great way to start off a Monday is another progress image from Phil Noto’s “Full Disclosure”.

This is still a work in progress from Phil, but it already has his amazing style flowing through it. The beautiful female face is coupled with a haunting expression and longing gaze. For the time being, we know this is called “Viper”, but we shall see the finished work this Friday when “Full Disclosure” opens at Stranger Factory.

Phil Noto’s “Full Disclosure”  run February 7th – March 2nd, with an opening reception on Friday, February 7th from 6 – 9 PM. Phil be attending the opening.

Phil Noto’s elegant beauties

ChargerWe have been anxiously waiting images from Phil Noto’s “Full Disclosure” coming to Stranger Factory next week, and we finally got our hands on some of his work in progress.

Once again, Phil blissfully creates masterful works. This comic book artist and painter is a true master at capturing expressions and form with minute details. The world he creates in the elegant expressions of his renowned female portraits open up an endless back story to what you are viewing. What is she thinking, why does she look sad, and what got her to this point in her life are all thought provoking questions that come to mind. And, this is just seeing his work unfinished! We will see more soon.

February Exhibits – Phil Noto and Jim Mahfood

Stranger Factory – February Exhibits

New works by Phil Noto and Jim Mahfood

Stranger Factory is thrilled to present two new exhibits for February from artists Phil Noto and Jim Mahfood.

Phil Noto’s “Full Disclosure” finds Noto’s signature style in top form, as the artist deftly brings beautiful new characters to life. Few artists are able to capture the subtleties of human expressions like Noto, and it’s impossible to look at his works without being drawn in immediately. Beautiful understatement is the name of the game with Noto’s work, from a slightly raised eyebrow to the tiniest of smirks. We are huge fans of Noto’s paintings, and thrilled to be able to present another solo show by this modern master.

In the Project Room we have the frenetic illustration style of Jim Mahfood. His new exhibit, “Perfect Machine”, brings to Stranger Factory an exploration of sense and sensuality couched in his trademark chaotic style…heaps of black ink seem to explode within and around his subjects as they struggle for a handhold in an unsure world. Mahfood’s illustration style is dense and rich, and carries an intense load of sex, comedy, and violence.

 

Please contact our Press Manager with any additional requests for artist information or show images.

Both exhibits run February 7th – March 2nd, with an opening reception on Friday, February 7th from 6 – 9 PM.
