We'd like to thank everyone who came out for Debra's show last month. Had an amazing turnout and are looking forward to another fabulous end of the month show.

Insects vs Robots will be playing the main stage and one of my personal favorites, Lo-Fi Freq, will be spinning the dj booth.

This will be the first closing show brought to you by The Temple and will be a bi-monthly event alternating with Feminine Oddities... (yes, don't worry there will be more burlesque dancing) But this month we're having a Living Art Vegan Raw Bar, a Galactik Trading Card microgallery, live sculpture, & painting!!!

Much Love: BeeHereNow

Paul Torres-exploring the Superficially Grotesque by David Gough


Pop surrealist Paul Torres, was a pop surrealist-even before the term was coined-as his long term friend-Lance Richlin will attest, which I guess makes him one of the Godfathers of the movement. On evidence of his extensive cannon, his proliferation certainly earns him the moniker.

http://www.paul-torres.com

The themes however, offer a more abject and detached form than the claustrophobic limitations of such supine category,even if the bombshells with scud missile breasts, and pneumatic pumped hunks in faded tats, inform the diet of comic books Paul ingested in his native Chile.

Its the corners of the canvases that discern with their disquiet-decapitated heads and disembodied limbs, used syringes, condoms and coke bottles scattered like junk food tokens of psychopathic, psychosexual Americana. The swinging pendulous breasts of old wet hags in shopping marts, with their parasitic screaming bastards in tow-looking for all the world like a modern day fabled Snow white and obligatory dwarves of the age
. Its the kind of superficially grotesque, Toulouse Lautrec might be elucidating, if he lived on the West Coast today-although I hasten to add that Paul is much taller than the diminutive, absinthe, swilling Frenchman.

Be it long-shadowed scenes of sun-drenched Venice beach or seamy downtown LA, his work peels back the lip gloss of the West coast, revealing the rotting yellow teeth barred beneath.

Wednesday Movie Night 8:30 PM

This week we will be watching Choke based on the Chuck Palahniuk novel about a sex addict who is in recovery and also dealing with his mother's hospitalization.

We seem to be on a dark but uplifting movie kick here at The Hive.

We are also trying to put together a list for the next six months of movies. If you have any suggestions email julie (or nathan) @thehivegallery.com and tell us the date you'd like it shown and we will check OldBank for availablitity. We want to make the list this weekend so times-a-running out!

Thanks OldBank for being so sweet and sponsoring our movie nights... and for that amazingly cute puppydog that makes my day every time I see him!
