LONDON.- Pace announced the first solo exhibition in the UK—and largest to date—of works by Cuban artist Alejandro Piñeiro Bello. Titled Entre El Día Y La Noche (Between Day and Night), Piñeiro Bello’s exhibition will feature new paintings and works on paper that symbolically and formally explore cyclical journeys through time, and within the self. Alejandro Piñeiro Bello paints the sociocultural mystic splendor of Caribbean culture with a focus on Cuba and the surrounding island nations’ identities and histories. Using traditional materials, such as oil on raw linen or burlap, he creates striking dialogues between the deep beige of the canvas and an iridescent palette of jade greens, oranges, purples, and teals. Chromatic interplay in Piñeiro Bello’s work fortifies essential compositional structures, which often appear to revolve around an unseen center point. In these images, his fluidly handled paint forms endless landscapes that travel from dreamlike figuration to pure abstraction. Drawing inspiration from dreams and memories, Piñeiro Bello’s paintings describe fleeting, timeless feeling.

PARIS.- Some think it’s a cross between the Eiffel Tower and a beret. Others see it as a goofy, red French Smurf. Most people can’t even pronounce its name. It’s Phryge (pronounced freej), the official mascot of the Paris Olympics. Mocked by the French when it was unveiled, it has become the hottest-selling item in town — and a symbol of the transformation of France’s perception of the Games from an unwanted nuisance to an unqualified triumph.

Actor Jim Nabors was so popular with his portrayal of Gomer Pyle on TV's classic country sitcom, The Andy Griffith Show (CBS, 1960-68), that he was spun off into his own series, Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. (CBS, 1964-69). But when Nabors left the Griffith series, the void was filled by George Lindsay playing Goober Pyle, Gomer's cousin.

Nick Cave has opened up about the usage of artificial intelligence (AI) within music, saying that it is “unbelievably disturbing.”. In a new interview with The Australian, Cave discussed his fears about AI and its impact on the creative industries, sharing that he believes it will have a “humiliating effect” on them. “Its intent is to completely sidestep the sort of inconvenience of the artistic struggle, going straight to the commodity, which reflects on us, what we are, as human beings, which is just things that consume stuff. We don’t make things anymore. We just consume stuff. It’s frightening,” he said.

Hollywood child stardom has taken its toll on many actors through the decades. Lani O'Grady, for one, found fame in the 1970s on the TV family series, Eight is Enough. O'Grady followed in the footsteps of her brother, actor Don Grady, an original Mouseketeer and member of another popular TV family show: My Three Sons. Their mother, Mary B. Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.
