SEAN TINER

(Tom VP) (Lisa Pearl) (Bobby Trendy) Andy Warhol opened society’s eyes with portrait art, but I desire to revolutionize portraiture for the new millennium. Last weekend, I enjoyed exhibiting a selection of my portraits at the LA Mart and establishing new connections in Los Angeles. Historically portraits were reserved for royalty and religious figures, but I want to continue the paradigm shift. Using strong color, abstract form and unique design, I try to capture the essence of a personality with each portrait. I look forward to sharing more work in future entries.

The La Mart temporaries start tomorrow and I'm excited to exhibit a diverse selection of my portrait series. The temporaries run from July 18-21 and is open to retailers and interior designers. Booth: #2-413 Address: 1933 S. Broadway, Los Angeles, CA 90007 I'll post more pictures from the show, next week.

(Andy Warhol, portrait by Tiner). Warhol once remarked,"doing something the wrong way, always opens doors." From questioning the meaning of art to exploring various media, Warhol enjoyed challenging tradition. In less then one month, I'm going to have an exhibit at the LA Mart . I've taken a complete 180 from displaying my coastal imagery and plan on exhibiting something fresh, unique and original that has never been publicly displayed ...because "doing something the wrong way, always opens doors."

Special thanks to my friends at Sony Pictures for the email and expressing interest to see my artwork and product line this summer at the LA Mart (July 18-20, 2008). I look forward to seeing you then. :)

I’m excited to announce that I will have my own space at the LA Mart this summer. The LA Mart is the West Coast’s pre-eminent shopping destination for retailers and designers and the largest permanent wholesale mart in the Western US. I look forward to participating in the temporary show, which runs July 18-21. Prepare to see something differen. (photo courtesy of LA Mart)
