Pop Surrealism Magazine Issue # 2 on the web now!

Richard Kalisher loves art – so much that he publishes a magazine called American Contemporary Art through his American Contemporary Magazine Group. Since moving to Los Angeles from New York, Richard has become a fan of Southern California’s New Contemporary Art and started up a publication called Pop Surrealism Magazine which is dedicated to supporting  artists and galleries in the New Contemporary Art Scene. Richard can be found attending art openings all over Los Angeles, checking out the works and chatting with the artists.

He has just released the second issue for Fall 2010 on the web and a print version will be available in a few days. We will hopefully be selling the magazine via Dionysus Mail Order as well!

Get Directions

THE DICK AND JANE FAMILY ORCHESTRA
Featuring buxom high priestess of splendor, one of LA’s first 100 punks, Miss Jane Cantillon and her husband Richard Ross’ memorable audience participation provoking LA-centric original compositions,  The Dick and Jane Family Orchestra also perform favorites by Dylan and Leonard Cohen along with acoustified Jaynettes, Jimi Hendrix and Captain Beefheart songs. Dionysus Records’ Lee Joseph plays bass and Michael Peffer, formerly with Cleveland’s Biblical Proof of UFOs plays percussion.

RUTHANN FRIEDMAN
Ruthann Friedman is an enduring gem, a jewel in the headband of 60s culture. With a serious clutch of songs, she defines an exact space and time. Her smooth and undulating vocal line is combined with polished stone-washed lyrical poetry. Her legend starts with “Windy”– The Association took it on and pushed it to the top of the charts in 1967.  A former housemate of David Crosby and the Jefferson Airplane, her jazz-touched, melodically complex songs go beyond mere hippie confessions.

AZALIA SNAIL
Azalia Snail has been making her uniquely sweet, viscous, noise-inflected, tempo-bending psychedelia for over two decades, recording a dozen or so albums between 1990 and 2010 on labels including Dark Beloved Cloud and Powertool Records. The music has its share of discordant moments and harsh textures, but somehow these are enveloped in a softening sheen. She has toured the USA, Europe, Japan, and New Zealand.  She has jammed with Beck, The Black Heart Procession, The Grifters, Trumans Water, Low, and many other unique musical artists. Joining Azalia for this show will be sax player Emily St Amand Poliakoff.

CUT & STITCH (18″ x 24″) Acrylic + Ink 2010

Luke Chueh

Luke Chueh’s “Beginnings / Endings (And Other Worthless Epiphanies)” bears all the stylistic stamps Chueh’s fans have come to love. Employing minimal color schemes, simple animal characters, and a seemingly endless suite of ill-fated situations, Chueh balances cute with brute, perched on the fine line between comic and tragic.

Chueh studied graphic design at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obipso where he earned a BS in Art & Design (Graphic Design concentration). Employed by the Ernie Ball Company, he worked in-house as designer/illustrator creating award-winning designs, and was featured in the design annuals of Communication Arts and Print Magazine. As if this were not enough, Chueh also created, produced, wrote, designed, edited and published “E.X.P.”, a ‘zine dedicated to the “Intelligent Dance Music (IDM)” genre. In 2003, Chueh moved to Los Angeles to further pursue a career in design, only to join the ranks of the under-employed. He resorted to painting as a way to keep both his edge and his sanity. When the Los Angeles underground art show, Cannibal Flower, invited him to exhibit at their monthly events, Chueh began his ascent into the LA art scene. Chueh has since established himelf as the arbiter of disarmingly benign menace. Ever the designer, Chueh also has a new toy coming out through Munky King. www.lukechueh.com

DECADENCE

Mari Inukai “Decadence“

Mari Inukai works in oil on canvas, and graphite and charcoal on paper to create a world straddling childhood and adulthood, sexuality and decadence, “between the choices I’ve made and where life has put me,” states the artist.

She draws a contrast between sweet and bitter, soft and hard, the yummiest chocolate and the deadliest poison. “Riding that line – that edge between the two – between the yin and the yang,” states Inukai.

A native of Nagoya, Japan, Inuaki came to the United States in 1995 to study art. She has since amassed a long list of credits including work for Sanrio, Disney, Cartoon Network, and Nickelodeon, as well as clothing and ceramic figure design. Her animated short, Blue and Orange, was an official selection at Sundance 2003 and was the Japanese Gran Prix winner at the Short Shorts Film Festival EXPO 2005. www.mariinukai.com
