Cool Stuff: ‘Cloud Atlas’ Posters And More From LA ‘Young Guns Of Print’ Exhibit
Most of the time, art galleries do either group shows with a single theme or one artist’s complete vision. The latest exhibit at theHero Complex Galleryin Los Angeles is a bit of both.The Young Guns of Printfeatures the work of 18 individual up and coming artists, each of whom did two to fifteen pieces on a specific theme. That means instead of one cool piece for a film or filmmaker you like, you get multiple takes by artists who are still being established. Some examples of theme are superheroes,Tim Burton;the guns ofHarrison Ford;Los Angeles;Harry Potter; andLord of the Rings.
The exhibit opens Friday September 20 in Los Angeles and will go online Saturday September 21. Below, check out a sampling of work including an amazing series ofCloud Atlasposters byPaul Shipper.
Young Guns of Print, an art show celebrating the rising stars of print, will be on display from 7-10 p.m. September 20 through October 5 at the Hero Complex Gallery, 2020 South Robertson Blvd., Studio D, Los Angeles, CA. Learn more and buy stuff online atwww.herocomplexgallery.com.
Here is the artist and theme list:
Now, here’s just a small sampling of work in the show. Mouse over each for the artist name and theme but, I’d like to call out three pieces in particular. Paul Shipper (whom we’ve featured in the past) used his “Alternative Movie Posters” theme to make three posters for the stories inCloud Atlas,my favorite movie of 2012. They are stunning and the first three of the below gallery.
