WWA Gallery, 9517 Culver Blvd in Culver City, presents Color Ink Book’s “We’ve Got Issues” and PRISMA Artist Collective’s “Blood” on View: August 18 – September 22, 2012
Exploding to life from the pages of the quarterly magazine is Color Ink Book’s aptly frank titled group show “We’ve Got Issues.” On display in the main gallery, this over-the-top extension of the publication features new and original black and white pieces by pop surrealists, lowbrow, avant garde, underground, and street artists.
Returning to WWA Gallery to commemorate year 4 of their publication and celebrating bigger than the last year, the Brother’s Washburn have put together an impressive line-up of over 60 premier artists whose brilliant works have graced past volumes of the art-lover’s coloring book.
Debuting i
n the project space and commanding special notice is the PRISMA Artists Collective with their first ever exhibit, “Blood”. “Blood” is the darker antithesis of two mini-exhibits; the other being “Milk” opening in the fall. The soothing and nurturing quality of milk and the pulsating, purifying energy of blood are the primary substance in our lives and together define the cycle of beginning and end. The two mini exhibits explore the fascination with, and aversion towards, these two life-giving and life-sustaining body fluids.
Founded by Kaspian Shore, PRISMA brings together an acclaimed international community of artists and through encouragement, collaboration and discussion aims to foster and inspire its members at all stages of their careers.
Most of the artists will be in attendance, so come c
elebrate with the movers and shakers of this subversive art scene!
