For those readers not nerdy enough to identify Titan’s Revenge as a ceremonial javelin from the online Dungeons and Dragons-esque site Diabloii.net, have no fear; Dave Choi’s sculpture of the same name undoubtedly references what you’d expect: Greek mythology. Opening Saturday at Hogar Collection, Name No One Man by Michael Behle and Dave Choi, promises a fine exhibition of sculpture and paintings. Admittedly, new comer Behle represents a bit of a blank spot on the Art Fag City radar having not seen his work before (UPDATE: Opps. I have seen it,) but we certainly like what we’ve witnessed from Mr. Choi. Diamonds Cut Diamonds, an excellent group show curated by Johnston Foster at Rare Gallery, won us over in 2006, the artist contributing a number of weird free standing and wall mounted creatures including this giant flowered piranha. Choi went on to show this similarly hilarious monster of plastic greedily holding on to a mannequin’s leg at Red Dot last year. From the looks of things, we’ll be seeing a few more of these guys Saturday.

UPDATE:  The opening for this exhibition was originally listed incorrectly as Friday.  We apologize if you made the trip out in vein.  We did too.

Hi, Paddy. You have seen some of Michael Behle’s work in our collection. We have works on paper by him in the south bedroom. Here’s a blog post with images:
