This past weekend, February 27th at the Gallery Nucleus, the group show “Curiouser and Curiouser: Inspired by Alice in Wonderland” opened up. The show has never before seen concept art for the upcoming movie, maquettes for the new movie were also on display (courtesy of Gentle Giant Studios), and 40+ artists showcasing work inspired by this classic story. A few the artists in the show include: Alberto Cerriteño, Allison Reimold, Amy Sol, David Ho, Kukula, Marguerite Sauvage, Naoto Hattori, Jason Seiler, Bobby Chiu, William Stout and more.

Here are a few images of works that really stood out to me, head on over afterwards and see the entire show.

Chet Zar has added some sculptural collectibles to his online shop. One of which is the custom made Planchette that was given to the VIP guests at his 2007 “Stranger” show at the Strychnin Gallery in Berlin. It’s made out of hand cast urethane resin, and if it is anything like a normal planchette the size is around 6″ x 4″, but don’t take my work for that. Each planchette is also signed on the bottom. This is quite a unique collectible that can be had for only $20 each.

Jason Levesque, otherwise known as Stuntkid, has added three new prints to his online shop. The prints are from a new series of works that show the figure as a see-through anatomical model. It reminds me a bit of those “Visible Man” and “Visible Woman” anatomical kits that were popular when I was a kid, minus the viscera of course. Jason does a great job making sure the models for the prints, Scar, Apnea and Asphyxia are still recognizable as themselves. Each print is 12″ x 12″ on heavy watercolor paper, signed and numbered in editions of 50 for $40 each. You can also opt to buy all three at once and save $20.
