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.

Anthony Ausgang’s Trippy Cats Get Trippier in “Catascopes”

Los Angeles based artist Anthony Ausgang, coined a "godfather of Lowbrow," has made a career of depicting his own struggles in his kaleidoscopic cat paintings. Colorful and intensely surreal, his playful images portraying cartoon cats in unusual scenarios are loosely inspired by reality. Ausgang makes no secret of his experimentation with psychedelics, and these experiences have carved their way into his hallucinatory visions and bright palette. In his upcoming solo exhibition "Catascopes", opening May 30th at Copro Gallery, Ausgang's trippy paintings of cats get even trippier.

Sketch Party: Studio Visit & Interview with Ken Garduno

Ken Garduno (Vol. 29) is an artist who sketches tirelessly for the pure enjoyment and therapeutic nature of creating. His collection of sketchbooks boasts hundreds of drawings that he never shows. Since we featured his drawings on our blog over a year ago, he’s retreated to his Los Angeles studio to develop an exciting new style of work. His mid-century inspired paintings previously addressed themes of romance, sexual desire, and modern relationships with vibrant intensity. Recently, Garduno has taken a hint from Calder and Kandinsky, while employing tribal-like patterns to create a new narrative. We visited his studio to talk about his new inspiration in this exclusive interview.

Preview: “Chris Mars & Friends” at Copro Gallery

Chris Mars's paintings engross viewers in a dark and macabre world where exaggerated humanoid characters of different colors and sizes find themselves in a dark inferno. Mars's painting style has a sculptural quality to it. The forms he paints appear so convincingly 3D, it's easy to suspend disbelief and immerse oneself in the scenes he depicts. On March 21, Copro Gallery will debut "Chris Mars & Friends," which features a selection of Mars's new paintings as well as work by Dan Quintana, Dan May, menton3, and Erik Alos. Based on disturbing events Mars witnessed while visiting a relative at a mental hospital, his new work explores the dark crevices of the mind, approaching this classic horror trope with sensitivity and nuance.
