Guzu Gallery presents Untitled: A Lowbrow / Pop Surrealism Group Art Show

This spring, Guzu Gallery will be presenting its very first artist's choice group art show. What distinguishes this event from Guzu's previous group shows is the absence of a specific pop culture theme. Instead, each artist was asked to create artwork that does not feature the usual pop culture suspects. The lowbrow aesthetic of the gallery's previous shows will be familiar, but this go-round, each art piece will be unique to its creator's imagination!

Guzu Gallery presents Deep Cuts: 12" Tributes to Our Favorite Music Heroes

For Guzu Gallery’s newest group art show “Deep Cuts: 12" Tributes to Our Favorite Music Heroes” they’ve asked over 20 artists to choose a beloved music icon, cult hero or legend and let his/her creativity spill to paper. There were, however, three conditions: (1) the artwork must be a screen print; (2) the artwork must be album cover size; and (3) the artwork must cost $25. Oh yeah, and (4) the artwork must kick ass!

The show is scheduled to coincide with spring break, which is always the best time of year in Austin. It’s when SXSW, one of the largest and most hotly anticipated music festivals on the planet, crashes head first into the Live Music Capital of the World. And what better time to celebrate our favorite music heroes than South by Southwest!?! 

The opening reception will be Thursday, March 7th from 7 to 10pm and the artwork will remain up through April 7th. In classic Guzu style, there will be live music on opening night to shake the walls and rattle the art. But don’t fret if you can’t make the show’s opening, each limited edition screen print will be available in the Guzu Gallery online store on Sunday, March 10th at 3pm CST.

Deep Cuts: 12" Tributes to Our Favorite Music Heroes features works by the following artists: Jason Chalker, Miguel Coronado III, Tim Doyle, Graham Erwin, M. Fersner, Matt Frank, Mauro Garza, Paul Hanley, Kachi, Scott Kinnebrew, Mark Lone, Yehudi Mercado, Danny Miller, David Moscati, New Flesh, Billy Perkins, Jesse Philips, Gary Pullin, Cody Schibi, Zach Taylor, Eric Torres, Vincent X.

Forces of Dorkness x outsmART originals “Tusken Idol” T-Shirt

Fellow Texan and Star Wars fanatic Forces of Dorkness (aka Scott Kinnebrew) has teamed up with outsmART originals to release a killer new George Lucas inspired t-shirt design. “Tusken Idol” combines Lucas’ two great franchises, Star Wars and Indiana Jones, into one epic tee based on an imaginary film entitled Tusken Raiders of the Lost Ark! This little golden idol comes from the temples of Tatooine deep in the dunes and about as far away from Mos Eisley as one can get. Not only does it have the face of a Tusken Raider, but he's also riding the most loyal of the beasts of the desert, the Bantha.

The “Tusken Idol” t-shirt by Forces of Dorkness is currently available for purchase through outsmART originals’ online store for $20 in sizes S-5XL.
