José Rodolfo Loaiza Ontiveros "Disasterland"
Disasterland is Mexican artist Rodolfo Loaiza's tribute to pop culture, way, animation, horror films and the undeniable attraction of glory. The stage is set for fantasy to collapse and surrender to the inevitable apocalypse of 21st century Hollywood. Fairytale characters continue to boss his latest projection –this time caught in the headlines of our favorite tabloid stars.
Continuing his penchant for cleverly depicting the "uncouth" customs of our dichotomous society, Rodolfo explores what would happen to our fables if they were flesh and blood and confronted with the frenetic and excessive earth of fame. Who among them would prove susceptible to the excesses of drugs, booze, harassment or vanity?
With his abrupt and characteristic black sense of humor Loaiza captures images once morbidly circulated by the media, and proposes a novel manner of reviewing them. In Disasterland, heterosexual happy endings have been discarded; outdated. In this story, discriminated minorities will finally achieve the resolution they've yearned for, beyond whatever bias or phobia.
Behold an apple infused with truth; behold a mirror in which we tin can truly see our reflection. This is our magical world of disaster.
What are nosotros waiting for? Permit's enjoy it!

Christopher Bales "Arc of Time"
The process involved in assemblage art forces Christopher Bales to make unexpected connections betwixt objects and images, helping to root out what seems to be hidden in the undisclosed corners of his subconscious heed. There is ever a mystery to be discovered equally he finds the significant while the art work is beingness constructed. The pieces he has created for "Arc of Time" seem to be reaching across time and infinite, as well as touching on more earthbound and personal problems. The artist hopes that the viewer volition be moved, intrigued, or at least curious about what his procedure yields and make some sort of individual connectedness to the art.
Anthony Purcell "The Sepia Evidence"
In The Sepia Show, the collected works of Anthony Purcell (hereby presented for your visual pleasure) are the culmination of an enduring artistic exploit into an industrial yesteryear. This series of portraits endeavors in the glamour of old, informed by the appearance of aged photography prints. The subjects of the paintings, whether infamous or anonymous in their time, are portrayed amidst a intermission of surreal, absurd, and realistic elements whilst symbolic motifs recur throughout series. As per Victorian decree that i "leave no space unfilled," the crisply detailed wallpaper patterns which adorn each painted room, embody the lauded virtue of a life which is busied, notwithstanding orderly. In ornate and formal couture, these figures pose for their moment of preservation, staring eternally through yellowing years to a mechanized modernity. These pieces, the words for which are a lesser currency than the visual delights to be obtained from their viewing, wait you lot!
Richard Meyer "Animals"
While the animate being portrait has a time-honored, symbolic resonance, Richard Meyer conceives each dog, cat, and monkey as a fully articulated private. Under the fur, idiosyncraciess are drawn from plant and life models. The paradigm of the anomalous critter presents a sympathetic identification both fearful and empathetic.
Ave Rose "Watchbot Urban center ii"
Just a few years ago, Ave Rose was known mainly for her horror persona. As an writer, actress, and vocalist, this scream queen represented all that was dark and macabre. In the Autumn of 2010 against a backdrop of traumatizing events, she distracted herself by making clockwork miniature robots (chosen watchbots) and produced a series of mechanical environments to house them as well. The corporeality of concentration and patience required to create these exquisite, fragile pieces became a grade of meditation and therapy. Creating her get-go watchbot collections helped Ave to cope with the chaos of her situation that year, bur at present that the storm has passed, Miss Rose continues in her artistic endeavors, honing her craftsmanship and skill to create fantastical, miniature worlds of order and peace. Watchbot World is the physical representation of Ave'southward fast-paced, mind-reaching moments of stability and harmony amongst the decay and disarray.
With her multiple career tracks, and with so much time spent in the company of other creative people, this former muse has developed an inspiration of her ain with an attention to detail that is both impressive and enduring. She recently produced a custom Watchbot Urban center for Israeli jewelry designer Maor Cohen, and her listing of of import patrons grows farther with her offset feature exhibition at La Luz de Jesus Gallery.
Click Mort "Nonstalgia"
Nostalgia is petty more than confabulation pasted into a scrapbook. Our attraction to the past rests primarily on inaccurate memories and near-total fabrications: more authentic simply less highly-seasoned recollections are either buffed to an unnaturally high gloss or discarded in favor of some more appealing fiction.
Click Mort's current show, Nonstalgia, reflects his fascination with creating the cloth equivalents to these reconstructed memories. His pieces combine elements of authentic vintage porcelain figurines, painstakingly disassembled and reassembled to produce an bamboozlement where incoherent objectivities are made to appear non only coherent, but familiar. They are souvenirs of a time and identify that never existed and nothing more than nonstalgia.
Mr. Mort is a Los Angeles native with a lifelong enthusiasm for things that delight the senses and scramble the brain. His formal training consists of a loftier school ceramics form during which his pieces had a tendency to explode in the kiln. Given this unfortunate history with raw clay, he has since opted to work only with pre-fired materials.
D.W. Marino "Bombardment"
D.W. Marino has elaborated on the theme he tackled earlier this year in Laluzapalooza via his ongoing serial titled Bombardment which uses bombs to deliver messages about civilisation, theology, consumerism and the military industrial complex. These are mounted in brandish boxes which requite further context to the themes of the bombs. Derek spares no venom for gross polluters, global warming naysayers, and future Super Fund alumni who put profit over environmental catastrophe then effort to explicate it all away as their legal obligation to the company, either. It sounds bleak and sullen but the end results tend to look light-hearted and comical –specially considering issues that are no laughing matter at all.
Byung Min "Fauna Militaristic"
Byung is a retired officer who served over twenty years in the U.Southward. Ground forces. He creates art based on his military experiences. Rather than produce a show argument, Byung has produced statements for the individual piece, which (where bachelor) can exist accessed past clicking the epitome in each box.
Heather O'Shaughnessy "Oh Sorrows"
Heather O'Shaughnessy's new collection "Oh Sorrows" is inspired by fables and cautionary folk tales that speak of vigilance, amende and vengeance. The wax vignettes could be considered labor intensive. Drawing upon techniques used past 18th century Italian anatomical sculptors, her pieces are outset rendered in clay, a plaster mold is fabricated so a casting in beeswax. Each piece is then re-carved, painted in oils, gold leaf and Mop & Glo.
