Tonight at La Luz de Jesus: Laurie Lipton and Jessica Joslin

Tonight marks the opening of a double-header art exhibition featuring the insanely detailed drawings of Laurie Lipton and the unusual and creepy hybrid sculpts of Jessica Joslin at La Luz de Jesus Gallery in East Hollwood  / Los Feliz, CA. The show remains up until November 28.

“Motoring” – Charcoal and graphite on paper, framed  39.5″ x 29.25″

“This show was inspired by the Steampunk movement that is sweeping Britain. Instead of steam, however, my devices are mostly run by electricity and madness. I was vacuuming one day and noticed the amount of plugs and cables on the floor… a veritable wasp’s nest of wires and sockets connecting a hoard of gadgets and doo-dads intertwining around the house and my life. I was trapped like a fly in an electrical web. What had happened? Were these things making my life easier or more complex? I began with The Steam Punk Pocket Watch, an absurd idea of a time piece too huge & complex for anyone’s pocket, and went whirling on from there. These machines are designed to hinder, control and/or give the illusion of technology. I had a tremendous amount of fun creating the images and think that this show will touch anyone who has ever become entwined, up to the eyebrows, in the Technological Age.” – Laurie Lipton

Inspired by the religious paintings of the Flemish School, Lipton tried to teach herself how to paint in the style of the 16th century Dutch Masters and failed. When traveling around Europe as a student, she began developing her very own peculiar drawing technique building up tone with thousands of fine cross-hatching lines like an egg tempera painting. “It’s an insane way to draw”, she says, “but the resulting detail and luminosity is worth the amount of effort. My drawings take longer to create than a painting of equal size and detail.”

“Illusion of Control Tower” Charcoal and graphite on paper, framed, 59″ x 21.75″

“Stardust”

Jessica Joslin’s “Hybrids” is a circus of oddities, a mixed-media menagerie of unexpected creatures. A whimsical cat in a red leather harness harness pulls his polycephalic partner along on a wooden cart, blue and brown eyes gleaming mischievously. An exquisite two headed tropical bird with lush brass plumage preens on it’s perch. A troupe of monkey-cat hybrids engage in mysterious shenanigans, and truncated half-creatures preside over the festivities.

The creatures that populate Joslin’s world are intricate fusions of bone, brass, antique hardware and other bits and bobs. Sparkling glass eyes are inset in kid leather, giving these fanciful hybrids the illusion of life and animation. They seem ready to spring up and play, just as soon as no one is watching. In her work, Joslin celebrates wit, whimsy, ingenuity, insightful curiosity and skill. The finely wrought craftsmanship renders the hand of the maker at once visible (the miniature bolts, springs and joints which comprise anatomical structures are readily discerned) and invisible (there is a keen sense of their unique personalities, and as such, the illusion that they are not constructions, but rather living beings.)

“Clio and Loci”

Joslin grew up collecting flies off the windowsill to look at under her microscope. Ever since, she has been enchanted with collecting a magpie’s array of remnants from the natural world. The collection gradually grew to include obsolete bits of antique mechanical mechanisms, hardware and other oddball artifacts. In 1992, she began building the first beasts of this menagerie, using objects sent in a care package from her father, the same pieces that she’d collected as a child.

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!

Over 3000 at Beyond Eden opening – Robert Williams honored

BEYOND EDEN: Over 3,000 attend opening – Robert Williams honored – opening night pictures

“…I’ve been coming to this place for 47 years and believe me, 10 years ago you couldn’t have this kind of art in this venue. Abstract expressionism, Conceptualism ruled here until right up until recently. If you come here and you take this for granted you are making a big mistake, cause a lot had to change in this country to have a show like this. I just want to thank all of you people and I’m just, overwhelmed, absolutely overwhelmed. “
-Robert Williams upon receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award at Beyond Eden 2010


“We’re honoring one of the world’s most foremost artists of today. Not only is he a great storyteller, but a great painter.”
– Billy Shire on Robert Williams at Beyond Eden 2010


From Andrew Hosner / Beyond Eden event organizer:
BEYOND EDEN 2010 opened with a blast this past weekend drawing  nearly 4,000 people total over the weekend to the beautiful grounds of Barnsdall Park and the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery.

We would like to thank everyone who came out to support the artists and to extend our gratitude to the staff at LAMAG for making the event possible and nurturing it into such an overwhelming success. Saturday night’s opening reception alone drew well over  3,000 people and the energy in the air was palpable.

At 8pm when the time came to present the one and only Robert Williams with a Lifetime Achievement award, the venue was simply packed with a crowd of friends and revelers that stretched outside into the municipal gallery’s courtyard. Robert Williams, ever a gentleman, was gracious and ribald during the well received presentation.

We can’t stress enough what a huge honor it was to have Robert–the progenitor of contemporary West Coast art–there and to be able to present him with this award in front of all his friends and family. It was truly the crowning moment of an already amazing night that saw so many new people exposed to the thriving New Contemporary Art Movement. Long ignored by the mainstream, this movement continues to gain momentum and supporters all the while further breaking down the doors at institutions and museums the world over.  A new generation of artists and art enthusiasts is rewriting the rule books and we are excited that BEYOND EDEN can serve as a vehicle of enlightenment and change.

Check out pictures from the opening night reception here:

Thank you all again for the magnificent support of BEYOND EDEN 2010 – we look forward to seeing you all again next year!!!

Beyond Eden Award Presentation Ceremony For Artist Robert Williams:

At 8pm on Saturday, October 10, the organizers of Beyond Eden along with Billy Shire and Matt Kennedy of La Luz de Jesus Gallery will present a lifetime achievement award to artist Robert Williams.

Williams is a painter, cartoonist, and founder of Juxtapoz Art & Culture Magazine. Williams is one of the originators of Kustom Kulture and in the late 1960s – early 1970s, was part of the Zap Collective, along with other underground cartoonists such as Robert Crumb and Gilbert Shelton. His mix of California car culture, cinematic apocalypticism, and film noir helped to create a new genre of psychedelic imagery. Williams’s first ground breaking book, “The Lowbrow Art of Robt. Williams” released in 1979 gave name to a new “movement” which has stuck to this day. The title of the book was meant as a statement on the current “Highbrow” tone of the Art world and how Williams’ work did not fit in with this idealism. In the 1980s Williams caught the frenzied vibe of the punk rock movement and found his next audience. IN 1994, Williams began the magazine JUXTAPOZ which propelled to fame many new artists and rose to become one of the highest circulated art magazines. Williams consistently remains vital to the new contemporary art scene and his works, shows and appearances are highly sought after and attended. http://www.robtwilliamsstudio.com

“My paintings are not designed to entertain you, they are meant to trap you, to hold you before them while you try to rationalize what elements of the picture are making you stand there.” Robert Williams

“Williams’ influence on alternative art is immeasurable” Barrett S. Bingham

Beyond Eden 2010 will be screening the film “New Brow”

“New Brow” is a feature film presented by Humble Pictures in association with the Shooting Gallery, San Francisco. The film documents first hand accounts from the artists, galleries and collectors who started and continue the new American art movement and includes interviews with artists Adam 5100 – Anthony Ausgang – Van Arno – Gary Baseman – Shawn Barber – Glenn Barr – Tim Biskup – Kim Cogan – Joe Coleman – Curve – Mike Davis – Ewik – Natalia Fabia – Sherpard Fairey – Jeremy Fish – Helen Garber – Camille Rose Garcia – Mike Giant – John John Jessie – Eric Joyner – David Choong Lee – Mars-1 – Liz Mcgrath – Niagara – Anne Faith Nicholls – Shag – Todd Schorr – Isabelle Samaras – The Pizz – Mark Ryden – Robert Williams, spotlights galleries Copro Nason Gallery – La Luz de Jesus – Merry Karnowsky Gallery – Roq La Rue – Shooting Gallery – Thinkspace Gallery – White Walls – Varnish Gallery and features publications 9mm Books – Juxtapoz – Hi-Fructose – Fecal Face – Raw Vision – Weirdo Deluxe and many more. www.newbrowfilm.com

Lowbrow Tarot Website

Preview the show on the La Luz de Jesus site

“There are 22 cards in the Major Arcana, each showing some aspect of the human experience. The cards of the Major Arcana are focused on three themes: the realm of the material world, the realm of the intuitive mind, and the realm of change.”

The Lowbrow Tarot Project will showcase 23 artists who will use their creative and unique styles to take on the tarot 22 Major Arcana and original card back totaling 23 new works of art in the rugged glow of the lowbrow art movement to be displayed in an exhibition at La Luz de Jesus on October 1, 2010.

The group exhibition will feature 23 new and original works by renowned and accomplished artists Carrie Ann Baade, Christopher Ulrich, Edith Lebeau, Cate Rangel, Kris Kuksi, Chris Mars, Christopher Umana, Chris Conn, Brian M. Viveros, Claudia Drake, Heather Watts, Molly Crabapple, David Stoupakis, Laurie Lipton, Patrick “Star 27″ Deignan, Chet Zar, Jessica Joslin, Danni Shinya Luo, Jennybird Alcantara, Angie Mason, Scott G. Brooks, Aunia Kahn and Daniel Martin Diaz.

Curator and artist Aunia Kahn developed the project after the completion of her own 78 card Silver Era Tarot deck and believed most artists would enjoy the exploration of divination without the commitment to a larger, overwhelming project. In addition, a hardcover tabletop book and full color tarot card deck of the work will be produced.
