This month Laguna Art Museum presents In the Land of Retinal Delights: The Juxtapoz Factor an exhibition curated by Meg Linton, Director of the Ben Maltz Gallery and Public Programs at Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles.
The show, which runs from June 22—October 5, 2008, "presents the work of 150 artists, and posits that there has been a huge but unacknowledged art movement taking place in this country for the last 40 years. Since 1994, this ground swelling of lowbrow, surrealistic, pop, figurative, narrative work has coalesced and found a voice in the pages of Juxtapoz magazine published in San Francisco."
Among the large list of participating artists, several are currently represented and/or have previously exhibited at Jonathan LeVine Gallery, including: Gary Baseman, Tim Biskup, Ray Caesar, Dalek, Ron English, Shepard Fairey, The Date Farmers, AJ Fosik, Camille Rose Garcia, Doze Green, Alex Gross, Jim Houser, Chris Mars, Mark Ryden, SHAG, Jeff Soto, Mark Dean Veca, Adam Wallacavage, and Eric White, just to name a few.
