Brett Douglas Hunter: A “Do It Yourself” Artist

Brett Douglas Hunter is a “do-it-yourself guy.” In fact, he admits to missing this interview because he was working on his car. “I can’t stand to take it anywhere to get fixed,” he says. “I’ll fix it myself.” Read Liz Ohanesian's full article on the artist by clicking above!

Shane Pierce Probes the Unseen with “Eerie Musings”

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.

bG Gallery Presents “No Particular Night or Morning” by Allois

Painter and illustrator Allois has said that she wants her paintings to reach her viewer's "deep inside"- a place that "will feel familiar, but it won't be." The title of her new series, "No Particular Night or Morning", hints at the surreal world that inspires her, the place where our dreams and nightmares live. Her moody seascapes are populated by "The Keepers", humanoid creatures covered with fur. Dressed like royalty, "The Keepers" pose for portraits. Disturbingly seductive, they gaze at the viewer with golden eyes. Allois' most cheerful paintings depict the least human figures; pale, amorphous blobs with slender limbs wear enlightened smiles. The artist's journey through the unconscious ultimately reveals themes of beauty, desire and the path to happiness.

Clive Barker’s Painted Curiosities Head to Copro Gallery for ‘Wunderkammer’

Clive Barker, the British artist, film director, and author, comes to the Copro Gallery in Santa Monica with a new show. “Wunderkammer,” running Aug. 6-27, focuses on the artist’s neo-expressionist paintings. Like Barker’s work in other mediums, the subject matter leans toward fantasy and horror imagery. But as the title suggests (translated to mean the “Cabinet of Curiosities” of the Renaissance), there’s both a playful and mysterious nature to this body of work.

Rick Baker Takes On Death and Monsters In First Solo Art Show

The Peripheral Path: Paintings By Jean-Pierre Roy

Talk with Jean-Pierre Roy for long enough and you begin to get the sense that, with the right amount of imaginative discernment, the boundaries between what many perceive to be high and low art are frequently not boundaries at all, but rather intricate, furtive passageways.
