Copro/Nason Gallery
The Art Army returns to L.A! with all-new renditions of low-brow superstars, underground heavyweights, and some L.A. art darlings. being the 3rd show at Copro/Nason in as many years, The Art Army is in metamorphosis. New 10″ editions of artists such as Audrey Kawasaki, Travis Louie, Jeremy Fish, CRAOLA, Chet Zar, Kathy Olivas, Sam Flores and Amy Sol take on new the forms of cyclops, mermaids, centaurs, minotaurs, cyborgs, and sirens. The artists’ human form morph with their painted surrealities into mythical hybrids of figurative form. The small, circus creature sculptures will be installed in a carnival-curio-shop-like atmosphere in the gallery. As a bonus, an over-sized, 20-inch tall, hand-carved, fully-posable wood figure of Mark Ryden will centerpiece the show.
