Dark Pop 3.0 @ Last Rites Gallery

Last Saturday, January 15th, the Last Rites Gallery in New York opened the 3rd installment of the Dark Pop exhibitions. The artists in these shows focus their work towards the darker side of art, so fans are able to see artists that rarely make dark art create something truly unique. This year the participating artists include Buff Monster, Esao Andrews, Scott Musgrove, Mark Dean Veca, Daniel Hyun Lim, Glenn Barr, the Pizz, Brian Despain, Mr Christopher, Beau Stanton, Molly Crabapple, Michael Page, Mark Elliot, Mark Garro, Gaia, Nouar, Amy Crehore and more. One of the most surprising things about this show is new art from Mr Christopher (featured), who long time readers may remember as a monthly featured artist here on the Creep as well as submitting an amazing painting to the Attack of the B Movie show I curated years ago. I am very happy to see that Mr. Christopher is creating art again. Nouar once again creates a fun, creepy painting. Who else could show a woman biting the head off a chicken, and make it look amazing.

“My Mary” print by Mark Dean Veca

BLK/MRKT editions has recently released a new print by Brooklyn based artist Mark Dean Veca. This new print is a 2 color screenprint on 100% rag paper. It is 18″ x 24″ signed, numbered and stamped in an edition of 100. This print comes from a piece that Mark had in his recent “Phantasmagoria” show at The Ben Maltz Gallery last October.

I am a huge fan of the Pieta sculpture by Michelangelo, so seeing this referenced in a modern piece such as this is just great.
Along with the orange version, there is also a Black and White version that is limited to only 10.
