The Story Foreshadows Art Show
Friday, July 30, 2010
7:00pm – 11:00pm
Hold Up Art
358 E. 2nd St.
Los Angeles, CA
In the midst of a jarring economic downturn, the artistic agenda is thrust forward by the backbone of the art world in Los Angeles. Sketch artists, contract sculptors, graphic artists, day-to-day illustrators and 3-D renderers… a talented and enormous pool of artists endeavor day-to-day to give their clients what they want. Meanwhile, galleries with friends are ignored, sketch books remain unfinished, and loving side projects are delayed further and further. “The Story Foreshadows…”called on 10 amazingly talented artists to present their personal projects, including their projects with Minefield Wonderland (http://www.MinefieldWonderland.com/), the gallery curators.
Rotating around Minefield Wonderland’s comic art agenda, “The Story Foreshadows…” highlights a wide and wild profusion of artists and styles. From very painterly to heavy-lined, colorfully brilliant to modestly monochromatic. Sculpture, painting, sketching, drawing and collage will be interwoven joyfully into a gallery that introduces these delightful animators, illustrators, and graphic artists to the gallery community. Featuring the artists:

The opening party will feature the jazz and bebop stylings of the Harry Swalley Quintet beginning at 8:30pm, the spinning and mixing stylings of DJ Bad Knews, and a whirlwind of things you may have to see to believe throughout the night.
