A place where all the natural pools are co-opted for getaways and the consequences of tourism that plagues the National Parks leading to excessive littering, or the expansion of suburbia into the natural environment. The pond is eaten up by a mid-century modern facade painted in a millennial grey
Have you ever been to Yellowstone or Lassen's and wanted to drink the forbidden liquid? Perhaps even dip your whole body in one? This piece, HYDROTHERMAL by Hannah Pierce is the embodiment of impulse and consumerism. Critical of the culture of pleasure centers like Desert Hot Springs, CA— 1/2

At the center of the film is a distressed and lonely vampire hiding from crucifixion in plain sight. In doing so, his perception of humanity, consent and interpersonal relationships is ugly and irredeemable, but his motivations are selfishly relatable in this intimate look. #movies #art #watercolor
Martin by SEOSIE. On exhibit NOW! at La Luz de Jesus Gallery. An incredibly intimate look at the movie by the same name by George A. Romero. Martin (1977) a classic vampire flick that not often amongst gothic circles. 1/2

Satoko Okuno's feline creatures live in world of curiosity, alertness and enjoyment for natural wonders. Her deep jeweled tones are warm and inviting for us to peer into the secret lives of animals. Many of them with eyes of wonder and bemusement returned with our own.
Pierce uses direct allegory of nudity, warped landscapes and prickly plants to point to these concepts. In an era where society imbues hyper-sexuality simultaneously with puritan misogyny, bodily autonomy is distorted and flattened.
The intersection of three dimensional and two dimensional renderings is expertly done in these #ceramic works by Hannah Pierce. On top of impeccable techniques, her work sits on larger concepts of sexuality on the intersection of desire and consequence 1/2

What is so great about this work is the complete collapse of foreground and background. The figures are literal and figuratively dolls on the beach but also in the fog of their own afterlife. Who doesn't want to be a total hottie when you are dead?

period rather than a modern recreation. In contrast to the award winning cinematography, Seosie makes these watercolors a remarkable parallel to the multi-faceted feelings of the film. Her deep love for great kino is exhibited in these pieces in her mini solo.
Barry Lyndon is one of Kubrick's most favorited films by directors and critiques. Its restrained tone against a slow pace is something many critiques enjoyed over Kubrick's other films, which paired with the long double shots or the scenes lit by candlelight create a feeling of immersion into — 1/2

A work that made me audibly gasp. SWIMMER by Hannah Pierce is a fantastic piece that utilizes uncommon techniques in ceramics. The composition in itself is unusual in the medium as she approaches it with an illustrative eye. The water line jutting out as a plate-like form is impressive.
This is a cropped image of MARTIN by Seosie.
I just recently watched this film by George A. Romero and this work captures how the director pushes the audience to align themselves with Martin, a morally reprehensible character who commits heinous acts in the name of his vampiric disposition.
FAUST by Ten Yetman
How many faces do you see here?
Trabold's argument here is that her collages are only illusions and we are to accept their falsehoods and allow them to "nourish the imagination" rather than attempt to achieve ridiculous standards of homemaking seen in "tradwife" content. 3/3
Trabold adds to that conversation of images as abstractions of ideas by critiquing the way in which women's work and homemaking is represented in media as beautiful, clean and presentable. To which this media is designed to disillusion us to perceive ourselves as unfit and lazy. 2/3
HONEYDEW WITH PROSCIUTTO by Erica Trabold. This collage of a floral arrangement behind this hors d'oeuvre is a simulacrum that is to be devoured by imagination rather than in any literal sense. Unlike the The Treachery of Images by René Magritte, in which the meta is insisted upon itself 1/3
CHEESEBURGER CAT!
This piece is entirely crafted with paper mache. As part of a larger series "Every Varmit Has It's Day"; an exhibition of Andrea Bergen's collage work that illustrates a post-apocalpytic world where animals take back the land as righteously theirs and bring forth a new era of peace
cropped picture of the piece BARRY LYNDON by Seosie. The detail in this is amazing, considering its all watercolor.
AVOCADO TACO by Erica Trabold. This collage made of floral arrangements and cooking book images creates a didactic criticism of while simultaneously recognizing the valor of women's work.
Sticky, Red Mess by Hannah Pierce. This ceramic artwork is incredibly sensual, very reminiscent of vampires as there is tension between sexual desire and violence. And the cherries dripping red ooze of course...
crop of the piece ZARDOZ by Seosie. Have you seen this cult classic?
CORNDOG by Anka Yanovna of A.G.Blend13. Painted on hand-cut aluminum. This tattooed cat has one love in life and its CORNDOGS.
