Jacub Gagnon 'Cakes and Ladders' - acrylic on canvas
Arrested Motion just posted their in-depth interview with emerging Canadian artistJacub Gagnon as he prepares to make the trip down to LA for his big ‘Elements and Oddities‘ show which opens this Saturday alongside new works from Japan’s Yosuke Ueno.
“I feel as though there is more to life than we know and this will always be so. I think there are connections and streams of consciousness tying us together in unimaginable ways. In my paintings I try to make these ‘unlikely’ connections, the unimaginable, imaginable, bringing what might seem like unconnected or unlikely paths of life together under a new light.”– Jacub Gagnon
‘…Away From The Things Of Man’ featuring new works and an installation from Kathleen Lolley + ‘A Brief History’ from Allison Sommers & ‘Inner Myth Pt. 1’ from Joao Ruas in our project room. All current exhibits are on view through June 5th.

This is gonna be one amazing art happening with costumed Baseman characters, masks, music, dancing, lanterns & banners from Thailand, carnival lights, hula hoops on fire… everything you’ve heard about and more…. and this is just the outdoor festival taking up the entire parking lot next to Corey Helford.
Inside the gallery, Gary’s newest works and an amazing installation with participation from artists from around the world will be on view. I can’t think of anyone that has stepped out and done anything like this in a long time, so come on out and have some fun! The festival opens at 6:30 – don’t miss this!!!
View a great studio visit with Baseman from the fine folks at Arrested Motionhere.

Gary Baseman
“La Noche de la Fusion”
Opening Reception: Sat, May 2nd 7-10PM
(outdoor Carnivaleque festival kicks off at 6:30PM)
The piece comes from WTM‘s third UK solo show with Stolenspace, ‘Lost For Words’, that took place this past March. Perfect mix of both his styles and works on many levels, love it.
170 South La Brea Ave. in Los Angeles / 323.933.4408
Schorr’s astonishing, highly polished realism, (inspired by Bosch, Brueghel and Dali), sets him apart from his best-known peers such as Camille Rose Garcia, Gary Baseman, and Mark Ryden. This is his first solo show in many years, and we couldn’t be more amped to see the new works in person this Saturday.
The good folks over at Arrested Motion and Modus Films also just posted a great lil’ teaser video. Check it out below.
If that wasn’t enough, mark your calendars now… we first posted this months ago, but here’s a reminder to make plans now to head north to San Jose for Schorr’s big 25-year retrospective exhibit that will open on June 27th at the San Jose Museum Of Art. His new book, American Surreal, will be released in conjunction with his retrospective in San Jose. More on both as we get closer…
