JEFF ROSS FEATURING THE SUITCASE TOUR, SAT JUNE 9

JEFF ROSS FEATURING THE SUITCASE TOUR
ARTIST RECEPTION SATURDAY JUNE 9, 5-9PM

ARTIST: Jeff Ross
BORN: Wurtzburg, Germany - 1961
CURRENT LOCATION: Denver Colorado

I have travelled extensively visiting museums and artists for my exposure to art in it’s many forms. Collecting art and books are my inspiration and education. I have been collecting Outsider art (self taught, folk art, and art brut ) for 11 years.

The art you'll see is basically what comes out of me. The different styles are created during the same periods. I switch styles depending on my materals, my location, and my mood. I have harnessed my ADD as a power tool.

My creative process is a combination of reckless abandon and fortitude. I rely on my reaction to what just happened to direct the next move, rather than planning outright. Using my 20 years of screenprinting experience as a tool, I utilize bold colors, heavy layering , and strong graphic qualities to present a fresh approach without alot of academic proceedings to make images that stick in people’s minds.


Jeff's artwork is a combination of paintings & collages integrated with mixed media that lends texture to his pieces, conveying a certain rawness & uninhibited nature. This exhibit is sure to delight & excite your senses! Artist Reception Saturday June 9, 2012 5-9PM. The gallery will open at 3:00 pm.

MONSTER MAYHEM SAT MAY 12, 2012


For centuries monsters have been depicted as evil entities. The few that appreciate and understand them come together and rejoice and celebrate them typically in the month of October. Well we say, why not celebrate Monsters all year around? Monsters are creatures that are... misunderstood and often given a bad rap. In the month of May at EVE Gallery we will put all that mumbo jumbo aside and bring you a Monster mash, if you will. A Monster MAYhem!

We are honored to have three amazing artists that will pay homage to the often misconstrued Monsters.

Geo Brawn IV, is a Los Angeles native. He received a scholarship in illustration and studied graphic arts which started the development of his ideas and stories into the medium of comic books. The first character ever created by Geo is Cherry Bomb. From there he went on to develop a universe of characters that have now evolved into a series of stories called the Untold Chronicles. Geo’s passion for art has lead him to another medium, painting. Geo paints the subjects of his comic books using acrylics and bringing them to life.

Arturo Lopez, is a self-taught artist from La Puente, California. At an early age he discovered his love for monsters and fantastical creatures. As a child he was intrigued by the fantasy world of television and movies which has brought him to the present where he now gives birth to unique, strange and brightly colored paper mache sculptures.

John Hayward of Covina, California studied graphic design and sculpture. He is versed in various mediums of art, but the most animated characters come from his paper mache creations. John’s wizardry of paper mache brings his unique monsters to life.


Opening Reception: May 12th - 5:00 to 9:00 pm
Gallery opens at 3:00 pm

Closing Reception: May 26th - 3:00 to 9:00 pm
