Australian artist, publisher, and curator Jon Beinart is the founder of the beinArt Surreal Art Collective, a group of international artists notable for their surreal and imaginative styles. 2014 marked the reinvention of this collective which at one point featured over 500 artists- many of them will come together in a special iteration of the “beinArt Surreal Art Show” at Copro Gallery in Los Angeles this February. We say special because the beinArt recently announced the beinArt Gallery and Shop, which will open in Melbourne, Australia in early 2016 thanks to raising over $67,000 earlier this month in a crowd-funded campaign. Featured here on our blog in previous years, February’s exhibition will debut new works from a roster that includes Greg “Craola” Simkins, Martin Wittfooth, Travis Louie, Marco Mazzoni, David Stoupakis, Chris Mars, Chet Zar, Dan May, Esao Andrews, Josh Keyes, Casey Weldon, Henrik Aa. Uldalen, Cam de Leon, John Brophy, Pamela Wilson, Naoto Hattori, Peter Gric, Kikyz1313, Brian Viveros, Scott G. Brooks, Jana Brike, Hannah Faith Yata, Jean Labourdette, Scott Scheidly, Matt Dangler, and many others. Get an early preview of the show below, courtesy of beinArt.

The “beinArt Surreal Art Show” will return to Corpo Gallery on February 20th, 2016 and will be on view through March 12th, 2016.

Preview: Chet Zar’s “All Hallows’ Eve” at Copro Gallery

With Halloween just around the corner, we're seeing many exhibitions exploring darker themes and subject matter inspired by the season- from new works by the Black Moon collective to "The 13th Hour" at Last Rites gallery, and even Yayoi Kusama's "Pumpkins". Among the spookiest is opening tonight at Copro Gallery; Chet Zar's "ALL HALLOWS' EVE", coinciding with their group show "Roadside Attractions" (previewed here). Lover of horror cinema, monsters, movie props and all things Halloween, Zar contributes a new body of work with some of the holiday's most popular images in his style. Glowing skulls, witches, ghosts and the mysterious unknown are all represented in these colorful 60s-inspired illustrations.

On View: “Conjoined V” Group Show at Copro Gallery

Last weekend, Santa Monica's Copro Gallery debuted their exhibition "Conjoined V," guest curated by artist Chet Zar. True to Zar's own dark, surreal aesthetic, the annual sculpture show features a variety of emerging and established artists with a penchant for all things creepy, curious, and bizarre. Kazu Tsuji's gigantic, silicone bust of Salvador Dali, Jessica Joslin's metal-adorned taxidermy animals, and surreal imaginings by Craig LaRotonda and Jim McKenzie are among the myriad of bold and pop culture-inspired works in the show. Take a look at some highlights from "Conjoined V" below and see it in person through February 14.

Preview: “BLAB!” Group Show and Yoko d’Holbachie’s “Genesis of Girls” at Copro Gallery

In its 9th year, the "BLAB!" group show comes to Copro Gallery in Santa Monica once again, featuring a selection of works by some well-known creators in the New Contemporary gallery scene. From Joe Sorren's soft, storybook-like works to Ryan Heshka's satirical, pulp-inspired scenes and Travis Lampe's maniacal cartoon characters, the artists cover a broad range of styles that stem from the low brow and Pop Surrealist movements. Curated by art director, designer and editor Monte Beauchamp, the exhibition coincides with release of his third art anthology, BLAB World 3, which features the work of the aforementioned artists and many more. The exhibition opens on September 13 alongside Yoko d'Holbachie's solo show "Genesis of Girls." Take a look at our preview of both shows below.
