Gareth Stehr Hollywood Showing

By: Tom Morin

Gareth Stehr Hollywood Show
All around Tum Yeto mad man Gareth Stehr put his art on display this past Saturday night at the Good Form Salon in Hollywood. Yup, it was at a hair salon, so there were plenty of mirrors for all the Hollywood fashionistas to check themselves out in.

Gareth's art is influenced by skate graphics of the past, and pop culture icons like Morrissey and The Rolling Stones. One of the medians he uses is resin, giving his creations a very shiny appearance, which means they pop. That's one objective of a good artist, constantly trying to find a means to make their style more distinctive. Gareth seems to have found this with this series of eye catching works.

The one negative thing about this show is it seemed like a lot of the guests were there just to be seen, and socialize, which I know is a trait of a lot of art shows and Hollywood in general. So, I guess just like everyone in LA says, "It is what it is." It just sucked to see so much creative expression adorning the walls, and people no paying attention to it. Instead waiting in line for their free Pabst, standing around trying to look cool, talking with their backs to the art, and not thinking, which I thought is what art was supposed to make you do. Not to rant or anything. All and all I thought it was a cool showing with some good art.

Here's some photos all taken by MORINformed:


Jim Phillips-esque. Phillips meets the Rolling Stones, or Stoned Phillips.


Powell meets Morrissey, or Powellissey.

A good deal as far as Hollywood goes.

Here's Gareth's part in the Foundation video, Cataclysmic Abyss:
