Seen: Luke Chueh's She's My Heroin(e)

Luke Chueh opened his introspective She's My Heroin(e) solo last night at Copro Nason.  The show served as an opportunity for Luke to exorcise addictive demons.  The powers of seduction added a nice counterpoint to his signature bear.  Luke continued to work even after the show preview went online -- we were surprised to see two additional paintings (including above) and five smaller drawings. 

Copro Nason is taking pre-orders for prints on wood of Luke's Balloon-Head ($450, 16 x 20" and  the slightly larger Possessed Revisited ($475).  Both are limited to 50 signed and numbered pieces. There's also a giclee on paper of Just One Touch (Infected), limited to 50 signed and numbered pieces.  We believe they are $150 each.  Finally, the gallery offered 48 sets (90 total) of Luke's three silver Mugs Bunny artist edition minis from STRANGEco's Vivisect Playset series.  As you might expect, these sold out.   If you missed out, definitely join Luke's mailing list for info on the availability of the remaining sets.  Click through for more pics from the opening.

Seen: Mari Inukai's Infiltration

Mari Inukai opened her Infiltration solo last night @ Corpo Nason with some of her best work yet.  Her new paintings offer a nice evolution of her style -- combining her cute and quirkly characters alongside lovely ladies.  While her cartoonish characters have always been engaging, they are now part of a more mature whole.  Additionally, the sense of joy and playfulness now carries over from her creatures to her people. Click through for more shots.    A few pieces are still available -- please check the  gallery's preview page.  The show continues through May 31st.
