A pretty extensive collection, being featured across the Moca Grand Avenue, and the Geffen Contemporary in Little Tokyo. It featured so many artists work ranging from Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Sam Francis, Jeff Koons, Edward Ruscha, Jean-Michel Basquiat and the list goes on and on.
Here are some of my favorites, I'm a little bias towards Rauschenberg because he's my favorite...
Just checked this out on Trendland, artwork by French artist Thomas Lelu.
I'm really liking this artwork, here's the description listed on Trendland of Thomas:

For those painting, Thomas used acrylic paints on some vintage erotic magazines – And if you are in Paris you can go check the exhibit at the Fiat gallery [11am to 7pm - 16, rue des Coutures Saint-Gervais 75003 Paris].
Stopped by Marco Bollinger's art show, LA vs TOKYO, this past Friday in Santa Monica, CA.
Marco is responsible for the shooting of all the latest Five Four campaigns + look books. Check out his photography show, comparing LA & Tokyo. We wish him the best of luck on his big move to Tokyo to pursue photography, for the next couple of months.
Hopefully Five Four can come visit there in the next few months!
This week's look of the week is Jeremy Corbell. Jeremy is a LA based mixed media artist, that recently put together an art show in LA called ICON. As stated on his website, ICON is a multi-media experience honoring the style and life of Sharon Tate launching on the 40th anniversary of her passing, initiating a new body of work by mixed media artist Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell. This art & fashion based exhibition showcases the never before revealed wardrobe of the late Sharon Tate.
I had the chance to go to the premiere of his show, as well as sit down with him last week and chat about art, life and his martial arts career. Yup, you read it right. Jeremy is a Sensei in Jujitsu, pretty damn crazy. Check out the video I posted below of his jujitsu. Jeremy definitely has some crazy stories, it's always refreshing to sit down with other creative types and share stories. His story of the Prague jail in relation to his "Sunglasses" show is NUTS! Anyways, here is Mr. Corbell.
If you want to see more on the ICON Sharon Tate show, click on this link here it is definitely worth a watch. Great show!

Born in a small city of Northern India known as Kurukshetra, I did my schooling from there and then moved to Chandigarh for college and to play cricket professionally. But a shoulder injury ruined my career as a cricketer and I came back to my home city and took addmission in LL.B. Coming from a city like Chandigarh I didn’t have anything much to do in Kurukshetra (which is a very small town in comparison), So I bought a Digital Camera (Canon 350D) and got hooked to Photography, as luck had it I won Digital Camera Magazine’s “Photographer of the Year” competition. The fact that I am able to capture a moment in time that is never going to come again is simply very exciting for me….. and the fact that nobody can ever replicate it… No matter what…
Now, Me and My Camera are inseparable……Some of my hobbies include Playing Cricket, Watching Movies (Not Mainstream), Listening to Music and of course Photography (which has become a passion now)…
