September 7- October 12
Mizna Wada “Spooky Zone”: All the way from Japan, our favorite horror pop purveyor of all things darkly cute and creepy, returns with a new exhibition of hand painted wood cutouts and meticulously crafted 2-d works just in time for spooky season.
Kathie Olivas “Ghosts & Echoes”: Local artist and gallery partner Kathie Olivas presents her annual installation of new mixed media sculptures. For almost three decades, her work has explored society’s insatiable desire to assign ‘cuteness’ and our discomfort with the unknown. A dark blend of early American portraiture set in post apocalyptic times, her paintings and sculptures are a satirical look at how fear affects our sense of reality. Her wide eyed children and anthropomorphic creatures are meant to evoke a nostalgic reaction that reflects isolation and uncertainty, yet they also act as empowered alter egos.
