Song of the Sirens

Much as many pop surrealist paintings of big eyed girls are oftentimes themselves painted by big eyed girls, so too does the genre of "dark arts" seem to sway more often than not to a gender specific side of the spectrum, albeit it the less fair. Last Rites Gallery looks to reverse this stereotype with their latest group offering "Song of the Sirens", an all female lineup of artists working, practicing and dabbling in the mostly male dominated dark arts world. With sirens such as Dan ah Kim, Lilly Piri, Miso, Allison Sommers, Danni Shinya Luo, Leslie Ditto, and Tara McPherson involved, expect this to be one show that won't be easy to resist.

Artist and animation director Joe Vaux paints what he likes. His personal work is teeming with impish demons.
