Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
For the month of June, the previous show comes down and a new show featuring the combined work of Sean Chao and Ines Estrada comes up! Blithe Spirits shows fifty-three new art pieces on display at GR2 and available for perusal and purchase through the Giant Robot Online Store as well. This show features two of our relatively new artists. Click on any of the photos to be directly taken to the online art gallery. Sean Chao is a Los Angeles based artist and was first introduced to our Giant Robot community through his first art show, “Forget Me Not,” with Ming Ong at GRSF in January 2011. His second show with Giant Robot brings us again to a miniature fantasy world where the hominid residents mingle and clash with their insect denizens and the rules of reality are tangible. The second half of his art features amusing idioms brought to life with the Eye, Ear, Nose, and Mouth. Ines Estrada is an artist from Mexico City, and she comprises “half of the super dynamic duo Café con Leche” with her boyfriend Roi. Her work features bold colors that depict multiple universes of wonder, energy, femininity and a cohesion with the animals of Nature. Her work is inspired by many sources, and her Mexican culture is a strong inspiration, which shows vividly through the brighter colors, style, and subject of her art. Many of her art pieces combine elements of “the grotesque and violent” along with what is beautiful and feminine. To see more of either artists’ work, then please click on any of the photos above.
