“Art, Music, Life, Repeat,” the solo exhibition of Fred Tieken

Royse Contemporary presents “Art, Music, Life, Repeat,” the solo exhibition of Fred Tieken. This exhibition will feature a selection of his latest mixed media and digital works,  showcasing the expressionistic and painterly in style, love of color and line, diverse subject matter, all blended with his poignant commentary. “Painting is like baring my soul to the world,” states Tieken, whose level of emotional commitment is beautifully and vividly demonstrated in his work.
 
After a daunting 2018 filled with medical battles, Tieken has returned in full force to his art, producing two exciting new bodies of work, the “ER” and “Brainstorm” series. “Tieken’s work highlights personal subjects and shares experiences with his viewer through irony and wit,” states curator Nicole Royse. His art offers wry social observations and smart symbolism, as well as a brief glimpse into his fascinating world, fueled by his passion for life, art, and music.
 
Working from his two studios in Paradise Valley, Arizona and Venice Beach, California, Tieken’s work has been featured in more than 60 juried exhibitions and one-person shows from coast-to-coast. He also has shown in major art fairs including Aqua Art Miami, XContemporary, Spectrum Miami, LA Art Show and Palm Springs Fine Art Fair. Next up, Tieken is excited to be returning to the LA Art Show in February 2020.

Tieken Gallery presents New Works by Fred Tieken and Sabine Meyer Zu Reckendorf

Fred Tieken returns to Tieken Gallery with two series of work that chronicle his return to good health after recent issues – 25 pieces in all. Much of this new work is introspective and abstract, and a departure from his well-known style. Look closely and you will see photography, collage, ai in the form of digital manipulation and a few strokes of acrylic here and there.

With this show, we also are welcoming Los Angeles – based artist Sabine Meyer Zu Reckendorf to Arizona for the first time. She is best known for her playful sculptures made from industrial surplus materials. She formerly worked in the Hollywood movie industry as a special effects technician, prop maker and miniature builder.

Is it October already?

Is it October already?

Ever since Gail and I visited a Chinatown gallery opening a few years ago, this urban gem in downtown Los Angeles has held a special place in our hearts. Its history is interwoven with the city itself and its present incarnation as a hip home for artists, galleries, photographers, musicians and one-of-a-kind shops makes it a regular stop for a night out on the town.

The pedestrian walkway of Chung King Road provides an unparalleled opportunity for city-dwellers to forget about traffic and stroll the area at leisure. And, it’s not unusual on any given Saturday night to be entertained by one or more live bands.

So, when our friend Mat Gleason from Coagula Curatorial called and said he knew of an available space just a few steps from his gallery, we had to take a look.

And that is how Tieken Gallery LA came about. Our grand opening is scheduled for October 21, 2017 with a solo show of my new paintings along with my newest installation, Killer bees attack MAR-A-LAGOPlease come see my new work and experience a perfect autumn evening in Chinatown.

I’m off to LA Art Show!

We barely had time to catch our breath from the Miami shows when we threw all of our energy into preparing for the upcoming LA Art Show, January 11 – 15, 2017 in the Los Angeles Convention Center West Hall.

I will be introducing UNO’S GMO Beach Party installation and will be painting a mural directly on the show wall as part of the installation. I also will be showing my new “famous artists portrait series” and other new work under the Coagula Curatorial banner just inside the show entrance at exhibition space #113.

The LA Art Show is entering its third decade as one of the world’s largest and longest running events with 150,000 square feet of exhibition space and close to 70,000 attendees last year. While dedicated to maintaining their commitment to technique and integrity, the show’s principals continue to further refine their curatorial vision by presenting innovative galleries and artist performances that showcase premier Modern and Contemporary work. Please check their web site for show times and directions.

Before I go, I also want to thank Phoenix New Times and arts writer Lynn Trimble for the in-depth studio interview.

Hope to see you at the show!
