Alejandro
Garcia
Born in Tapachula Chiapas Mexico in 1982. Alejandro's work is a
mix of painting, drawing, sculpture, photo, video, engraving and
performance. His obsession with American culture exposes his dark
fixation of decaying icons: rock stars, science fiction characters
and porn stars. Playing with humor, irony and defamation, Alejandro
makes us faithful followers of the human experience: death.
Danger
(Dan Wininger)
Danger is an esoteric bookseller and self taught, hand cut, hand
glued collage artist. Born & raised in L.A. Danger has never
flown in a jet or airplane, never owned a cell-phone or credit card.
Danger is the owner of Amok/Koma Bookstore for many years &
worked with Feral House Books for over 6 years.
Jesse Wiedel
Raised in a small, rural community outside of the Central
Valley town of Redding, California. After spending his younger life
navigating the cultural void of back road America, he eventually
migrated to the city and received his degree in painting at the
San Francisco Art Institute. He has spent the last fifteen years
making art in Humboldt County, California. Jesse's paintings can
be read as satiricle, social criticism, or psychological horror.
No matter how problematic the subject matter may be, he usually
affords his subjects a measure of heroism alongside the ridicule.
This love/hate stance about the foibles of humanity stems from his
long-term familiarity with small towns. He works mainly in oil paint,
in a style that is both illusionistic and painterly.
Owleyes
(James Wiegel)
James's mother was an artist and devout Greek Orthodox which instilled,
at a very early age, an understanding that art was something that
came from a higher realm and could actually be a form of prayer.
Drawing from an instinctual knowledge of ritual and mystical practices,
his work functions as a physical manifestation to focus on the divine.
These sacred images serve as focus points in the formation and realization
of higher states of being in the physical realm, opening new modes
of perception. Sharing these meditations with others creates a polarity
between the solitary and communal that brings about a higher union
of the transmutations.
