"Black Cat Rat" by Andrew Brandou
We are thrilled that our inaugural show in our fancy new space will be our annual Halloween themed exhibit, this year’s “Bad Moon Rising” show. We will be exhibiting work by artists from all over the country as well as overseas. The work, while dealing with dark themes, ranges wildly from the dark, futuristic digital portraits by Quintin Gonzales to the more playful cartoony paintings of Pooch. We are excited by the return of gallery artists such as Lisa Petrucci, Jim Blanchard, and Mike Leavitt as well as works by new artists to the gallery such as tattooist and painter James McLeod, Japanese Pop Surrealist Yo Ueno, and Lowbrow wood carver Ojimbo.
For the opening we will also have hearses from Rain City Hearse Club, monster film clips courtesy Something Weird Video, refreshing liquids and hideous candy, and live goth swamp-garage rock by ROT13
Roq La Rue has moved!
Roq La Rue has moved! The gallery will be expanding (again) and moving into the large space right next to the current gallery location, making it our largest, fanciest, and quite frankly, coolest gallery space yet. With twice as much space, we will be able to exhibit even more work by the best up and coming Pop Surrealism/Lowbrow artists as well as a house a small bookstore devoted to only the crème de la crème of underground art and pop culture books. In addition, we are excited to announce the newest member of Roq La Rue, Celeste Fuechsel, who is our new gallery director. Celeste has been with the gallery as an assistant for over a year and we are super thrilled to have her on board full time in this new position. |
