Turn the Page Closes at the Crocker Art Museum

The third and final rendition of "Turn the Page: The First 10 Years of Hi-Fructose" closed at the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento this week. The exhibit, organized by the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art and made possible by the City of Virginia Beach, collected the work of 51 contemporary artists and in this version, featured an exclusive installation from artist Mark Dean Veca.

The Surreal Sculptures of Carlos Tardez

Carlos Tardez has a talent for portraiture across two- and three-dimensional forms. Yet, it’s in his sculptures that the surreal nature of his works becomes visceral, whether evoking laughter, intrigue, or both. These small figures are often paired with normal-sized, found objects. These interactions create strange narratives.

Mark Dean Veca’s Installation for Turn the Page: The First Ten Years of Hi-Fructose

Hi-Fructose Vol. 23 featured artist Mark Dean Veca's colorful, dynamic paintings pop off the page in bright red, orange, and turquoise hues, with curvaceous lines inspired by the underground comic world. His work incorporates everything from pop culture references like Tony the Tiger and Scrooge McDuck to Americana elements like the Lincoln Memorial to the American Flag, to religious iconography including skulls, Buddhas, and Ganeshas - all filtered through his own gaze. The Los Angeles based artist is now in Virginia, where we've invited him to create special installation for the Turn the Page: The First Ten Years of Hi-Fructose, opening tonight at Virginia MOCA.
