TweetLamborghini unveil the roadster version of the Aventador. Its arrival comes just over a year after the introduction of the Aventador Coupe. The Aventador Roadster’s roof is made from solid carbon fiber and relatively simple to put up and take down. Weighing less than 6 kgs (13 lbs) in total, the two roof pieces can be stowed in the front luggage compartment when not in use.
The Roadster’s windows have chamfered edges in order to fit perfectly with the edges of the hard top. Moreover, its bodywork sports a two-tone paint, with the roof and the upper area up to the “fins” finished in gloss black.
The color palette has been increased by the addition of the new “Azzuro Thetis” light blue paint that, according to the company, harks back to the 1968 Miura Roadster. Finally, as far as the exterior is concerned, the Aventador Roadster is fitted with “Dione” forged alloy rims, which weigh 10 kg (22 pounds) less, and measure 20 and 21 inches in diameter front and rear respectively.”

Working largely in black and white, and often with signature images drawn from comics and popular culture, Pensato is an exuberant expressionist painter. A native Brooklynite, she has lived and worked in the borough for her entire career. Over the last ten years Pensato has slowly but surely garnered an international reputation for her darkly provocative and often poignant paintings.
In this exhibition Corbett vs. Dempsey will present a group of brand new paintings, including images of Groucho Marx and South Park Kenny, as well as a startling new batch of painting collages, a new facet of her oeuvre. These bold and explosive works often begin as splatters from her canvases, migrating onto other surfaces in her studio, which are grafted together into photographic assemblages featuring the likes of Muhammad Ali, Marlon Brando, and Al Pacino.
Opposite – Pineapple Bob, 2012
Exhibition runs through to November 24th, 2012

For Chester Arnold’s solo exhibition, the artist presents new paintings rooted in imagery of the west – grand landscapes scarred by the work of miners, stratified and marked by history: geological and human. Metaphorical narratives and occasions for contemplating the duality of the human journey unfold on the painting’s panoramic stages. The binary sides of our emotional experiences, dark and light, are present in each work.
The title of the exhibition, A Pilgrim’s Progress, references a Christian allegory written by John Bunyan and published in 1678, The Pilgrim’s Progress from This World to That Which Is to Come. It is regarded as one of the most significant works of religious English literature. The paintings in the exhibit convey the artist’s personal journey through what he calls “the disorganized religion of art.” “As the secular madman that I am, there is a constant, inescapable commentary staring back at me from the Judeo-Christian pollution in my early life. I love the stories, but deplore the dogma.” Arnold’s painted imagery also grapples with transitions and the passage of time (perhaps his own aging) through depictions of elderly men, skeletons, and the heavily chiseled chasms in the earth. Arnold’s tenebrous mood in the paintings is tempered by passages that are also humorous and light, providing visual reprieve and a bit of optimism in the ponderous, larger narratives.

LA conceptual artist Sayre Gomez will debut his innovative and challenging works in a major exhibition that will include painting, sculpture, drawing and installation. Through his iteration of imagery and subtle shifts in material and presentation, Gomez explores a very digital sensibility in relationship to image making in the 21st century, while updating tradtitions of oil painting and bronze sculpture. Recent shows at Las Cienegas Projects and a solo with Kavi Gupta in Chicago this year have shown Gomez to be a great new and critical voice in the young art scene.
