Miss Van is one of my favorite artists and I’m excited to announce that she has a show opening with new works opening in Berlin. I’m so sad that I won’t be able to go! If you live in Berlin, or are traveling there soon, this is a definite must see! Here is a description of the Canto Negro y Brujerias:

Merry Karnowsky Gallery Berlin is proud to present Canto Negro y Brujerias, featuring the paintings of Barcelona-based artists Miss Van (France) and Victor Castillo (Chile). The two unfold their unique but harmonious iconographies in a pictorial exercise of intersecting ideas. These artists approach from their personal perspectives subjects like seduction, desire, enchantment, and the game of infantile cruelty. The title of the exhibition attempts to unite these proposals and at the same time, alludes to Spanish culture, superstition and witchcraft as basic context, and dark invocations of common ghosts.

Details and more sneaky peak of some works after the jump . . .

Wow - this is an amazing line up including my favorite artists Miss Van, Junko Mizuno and Aiko Nakagawa in a show called "Heart Throb." I may have to go down to LA just for the night to see this. The show opens Saturday, March 10th and runs through April 7th at the Merry Karnowsky Gallery. This is a must see - mark your calendars and prepare for your heart to skip a few beats . . .
