Giant Robot is proud to present The Wild Life, an art show featuring the work of Susie Ghahremani.
Susie Ghahremani is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design. Her artwork has appeared in The New York Times, Nickelodeon Magazine, and Martha Stewart Kids.

Jack Long Convolvere art Show June 21 - July 16, 2008 GR2
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Convolvere art show opening
Jack Long at GR2
Sponsored by Scion

Reception: Saturday, June 21, 6:30 -10:00

Giant Robot is proud to host Convolvere, an art show featuring the work of Jack Long.
Jack Long grew up in West Chester, Pennsylvania and received his BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2002. Painting in oils on wood, his work explores human relationships in a narrative setting. His paintings draw heavily upon the tradition of storytelling, often utilizing motifs and imagery found in mythology and fairytales. Now based in Los Angeles, he says, "I feel like people think of their lives in this way, relating moments in their lives to fairytales or mythology. My paintings have grown out of this; they reveal the deeply rooted patterns of storytelling, mythology, and mysticism in our lives."
For the show, Long is preparing at least 30 oil paintings on wood. Most of them will utilize a new plant motif as well as an extended color palette in his effort to depict man's relationship with others, nature, and society.
A reception for Long will take place from 6:30 - 10:00 on Saturday, June 21. For more information about the opening, the artists, GR2, or Giant Robot magazine, please contact:

Albert Reyes Matt Furie Killing Time
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Killing Time art show opening
Matt Furie and Albert Reyes at GR2
May 17 – June 18, 2008
Reception: Saturday, May 17, 6:30 -10:00
Giant Robot is proud to host Killing Time, a group art show featuring the work of Matt Furie and Albert Reyes.
Matt Furie is an Ohio-born, San Francisco-based artist whose richly detailed and hyper colored illustrations and paintings reflect the creative cross breeding of The Neverending Story, unrestrained imagination of The Muppet Show, and humor of ALF. His corruption by popular culture is further complicated-or perhaps enriched-by the energy of BMX culture and anarchy of street art.
Albert Reyes is a Los Angeles-based San Francisco Art Institute graduate who has developed a style equally influenced by graffiti, comics, and fine art. Among other media, he draws and prints on the inside covers of old books and mixes traditional Mexican imagery, popular culture icons, and political suggestion. He was the cover artist and main interview in Giant Robot 52.
For the show, the artists are creating over 100 paintings, sketches, and prints, including 25 collaborative pieces that examine the dismal themes of pain and death, brightened by the aesthetics of teen horror movies. The palettes of these special works will be limited to black, blue, and gray.
A reception for Furie and Reyes will take place from 6:30 - 10:00 on Saturday, May 17. For more information about the opening, the artists, GR2, or Giant Robot magazine, please contact:
