Read on for more information about Two Madmen, Twilighty, and Royals & Crocodiles.

Two Madmen: The Artwork of Clive Barker and Myron Dyal:

Similarly fascinated with an idea of a diabolical world, Barker and Dyal use their drawings, paintings, and sculptures to render figures and places that have affected human consciousness throughout the ages. Through their dark minds, we encounter tricksters, soothsayers, and mystics in the underworld. You can’t resist the darkness can you?

Twilighty featuring work by Paul Nagel:

Intertwining realism with fantasy, Nagel unleashes an exhibition of intriguing works. His art is made up of scenes that are from “the Southern California environment, global events, my past, my dreams, nightmares, and fantasies” says Nagel. Such art includes city scenes to mythic warriors and more.
