The Adverts Through LA’s Eyes

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 13:33:47 GMT

The Adverts Through LA’s Eyes: It’s one of those things, isn’t it. This band is being billed as T.V. Smith’s Adverts, due to the fact that Smith is the one Advert left and his band is filled with “a crack team of Houston musicians especially formed for this project.”That’s drawn some criticism, but it’s not really his fault. Beloved former bass player Gaye Advert is an artist now, creating wonderful stained glass amongst other things. The rest of the band switched around between their two albums anyway, and Howard Pickup sand Tim Cross are sadly no longer with us.So this version of the Adverts, touring the States for the first time and playing songs from those two classic albums — Crossing the Red Sea with the Adverts and Cast of Thousands — is as good as we can hope for in 2023. As it turns out, it’s more than good enough.At Zebulon, a wonderful place to see a show with its large corner stage, the band was phenomenal...

Meet Plastic Problems Painter Constance Mallinson

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 13:33:47 GMT

With a taste for the sumptuous detail and prismatic colors of 17th-century Dutch still life painting, and an equal love for picturesque landscape and the random plastic garbage she collects on her daily walks, Constance Mallinson blends classic modes of art history with a critique of modern hyper-consumerism. Like Rauschenberg on his one-block-radius hunt for his Combine series’ sculptural materials, she accumulates and hoards all manner of found objects—toys, food wrappers, containers, ribbons, balloons, figurines, accessories, electronics, grooming tools, giftwrap, bubble wrap, styrofoam, tape, tokens, bags, dolls, straws, novelties, baby stuff, stress balls—before arranging them into compositions, and rendering their kaleidoscopes of clutter in photorealist, 1:1 scale.Constance Mallinson: Playing With Sea Animals, Oil on Canvas, 18 x 24 inches, 2023 (Courtesy of rdfa)Evoking surprise, delight, disgust, nostalgia, whimsy, humor, horror, and shame, Mallinson’s prismatic paintings a...
