On Saturday, the Bergamot Station Arts Complex flooded with heavy foot traffic headed straight for Copro Nason Gallery, where strange sea creatures, aliens, robots and mutants anxiously waited on the walls and floor displays. It was opening night for the second installment of Chet Zar’s Conjoined, The Sequel – In 3D exhibit, and the art-hungry masses were fired up.
Conjoined – a superdimensional art show curated by supreme monster painter, Chet Zar, is currently up at Copro Nason gallery, and it is not to be missed.
Conjoined is a collection of work from the cream of the pop surrealism and lowbrow crops, alongside rare work by renowned special effects creators, some of whom have never exhibited in a gallery setting before.
On July 11th, Copro Nason gallery hosted the opening reception of Monster? – a group exhibit curated by creature painter extraordinaire Travis Louie. The chief premise of this show is to give production design professionals a chance to show off their skills in a fine art environment. Ghouly beauties, scary beasties and several cephalopods greeted visitors from the walls of the fashionable alternative art gallery. Come to think of it, sexy beasts were to be seen on the walls as well as out on the floor in equal parts – among them flame-haired LA sweetheart Lenora Claire and Doctor Sketchy’s creator Molly Crabapple, who had a piece in the exhibit.
