- La Luz
de Jesus Gallery proudly presents our second fun and fantasy filled
art show with artist, writer, director, Clive Barker. Among the world's
most prolific artists; creating novels, paintings, motion pictures,
children's books and television series, Barker only ever aims for
one thing: to explore and expose the furthest edges of the human imagination.
His imagination at its most uninhibited can be pretty frightening
stuff - hence his reputation for works of sublime horor and subversive
fantasy - and through his painting he expresses the deepest desires
of the human spirit. For his scond West Coast exhibition, the artist
will be displaying a grand variety of work: acrylic on paper, oil
on canvas, and a selection of painted photographs. Barker promises
this to be the most accessible show yet, geared toward the widest
audience possible, an "art show for the people who hate art shows".
The underlying objective is, as always, to outrage, but this time
around he is more concerned with the viewer having a fun experience
than a horrific one. Through this diverse mixed-media presentation
he aims to show us the sexy and erotic as well as the weird and fantastical;
a smorgasbord for his eagerly awaiting fans (And bless his heart,
he's made everything completely affordable.) Please join us for the
opening reception, kicking off the Halloween weekend, with the genuinely
fascinating Clive Barker and his ecletic selection of visuals.
