For the Love of…
Reception: Saturday, February 21, 6:30-10pm Giant Robot is proud to present For The Love Of..., a group art show featuring artists that we love, doing what they love. Contributors represent a variety of media, including painting, illustration, and indie comics, and include the following: - Robert Bellm paints vibrant images from nature, calling the eye-pleasing mix of natural shapes with manmade forms "organic technology." - Christopher Bettig develops products, graphics, and installations for a wide range of clientele from his studio, The Mountain Label. - Matt Furie is a San Francisco-based artist whose richly detailed illustrations reflect the unholy crossbreeding of The Neverending Story and The Muppet Show. - Tim Gough is a Philadelphia artist whose imagery goes for a direct approach that addresses the human condition and the situations surrounding it. - Benjamin King is a young, upstart artist from the Bay Area whose illustrations reflect a unique perspective on mainstream celebrity and videogame culture, among other topics. - Jesse LeDoux is an accomplished commercial illustrator who handles creative collaborations with high-profile clients through his site, LeDouxville. - Aaron Martinez is a Los Angeles based artist, who creates somber yet thoughtful monochromatic images, and is currently designing for Element Skateboards. - Sidney Pink is a Japan-based illustrator who was nominated for the 2008 GEISAI Museum 2 Jury Awards. - Albert Reyes is a prolific artist from Los Angeles whose style reflects the grittiness of the streets fused with the refinement of classical portraiture. - Daria Tessler is a New York-based illustrator/printmaker whose delicate, intricate, detailed works give a sense of story ripped straight from your imagination. - Joe To is a San Francisco-based artist whose unique illustrations portray the irregular as normal, the normal as strange, the strange as safe. - Aiyana Udesen creates exquisitely detailed works that blend nature with celebrity, and publishes "How to Draw" books that marry the subjects seamlessly.
