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.

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.
Do you recall the disappointed feeling from childhood, when someone told you the imaginary creations of your pretend games were not real? Painter Mark Elliott seems to be one of the fortunate ones who never stopped pretending. The paintings in his latest series for his upcoming show at Copro Gallery with Genevive Zacconi and Kelly Eden are a sort of validation of these youthful day dreams. Often focused on young characters, the pieces exhibit fantastical scenarios that affirm feelings of playfulness and joy.
Explaining an image could break the illusive spell on a viewer with preconceived notions, or at the very least be a distraction to a genuine experience. Nevertheless, it’s a job of a publication like ours to try to probe a bit further, to unearth subtle intentions or points of discussion. So let’s ask Shane Pearce about his ten new paintings, entitled “Eerie Musings”, which goes on view at Copro Gallery in Santa Monica this Saturday.

With Halloween just around the corner, it's time for Copro Gallery's spooky group exhibition of "Roadside Attractions". Previously covered here on our blog, the exhibit is an extravaganza of the macabre, guest curated by Cris Velasco, who is well known for his moody film and video game scores. This year's installment coincides with joint solo exhibitions, Mark Garro's "Corpus Callosum" and Matt Dangler's "Sanctify". Artists have served up their interpretation of all things Halloween-related, and by that we mean from the scary to the darkly romantic, and even a little funny.
