Participating artists will include: Aaron Horkey, Alex Yanes, Andrew Schoultz, Audrey Kawasaki, Brendan Monroe, Brandon Shigeta, Cryptik, Esao Andrews, Greg ‘Craola’ Simkins, Hot Tea, James Bullough, Jeff Soto, John S.

Allyson Mellberg draws futuristic biological advancements inspired by science fiction. In her latest solo show at LJ Gallery in Paris, “The Planet of Doubt,” Mellberg renders human characters covered in strange growths that resemble rocks, leaves, and sea urchins. The work enters ambiguous territory as, in some pieces, the characters appear pockmarked and disease-ridden, while in others, their strange appendages seem to give them superhuman powers. The drawings allude to the power of communing with nature and meditation to help us transcend our circumstances and deal with chronic anxiety and sickness.

We have featured the works of Allyson Mellberg on the site before, and in our print edition, and wanted to make sure our European and Parisian friends know to check out the artists new show at Galerie LJ in Paris that closes on May 2, 2015. The drawings in the show, and there are a lot of them, are beautiful and disturbing, what the gallery calls “”post-Louise Bourgeois / Kiki Smith pre-futuristic neo-biological”.
