Menton 3
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. Clive Barker offers colorful yet bone-chilling imagery while balancing horror with humor. Others, such as David Stoupakis and Menton3, created haunting figurative works that combine visuals of beauty with dark themes. To rephrase an old saying, horror is most certainly in the eye of the beholder. Take a look at more images from “Roadside Attractions” below, on view at Copro Gallery in Los Angeles until Halloween night, October 31st.
