Tonight, is opening night for "The Butcher Kings," Californians Alex Pardee and Skinner's newest demented brain child and what Gallery1988 Melrose is calling their “craziest exhibition yet.” Living and painting together for almost 3 weeks, Pardee and the Skinnman have created over 80 original pieces (all priced between $300 - $1,000) that skewer, destroy, exploit and abolish most of your childhood memories…each funnier, sicker and more exciting than the next. There will also be a small book available containing most of the pieces from the show, so definitely check that out!
The Blot has been dying to see what these two amazing artists have been working on as none of the pieces have been shown to the public, not even a sneak peek or official preview prior to tonight’s reception. Although I have to give “The Butcher Kings” credit, they’ve done an amazing job hyping up this art show with a series crazy YouTube videos. Thankfully our long wait to see what these two have been working on is almost over, as the artwork will be available online tomorrow on the Gallery 1988 website. Please keep in mind this show will have graphic and sexual imagery on display and is not suggested for young viewers.
The Butcher Kings art show by Alex Pardee and Skinner opens tonight, Thursday, October 6th, at Gallery1988 with a reception from 7-10pm. The show will run through October 29th.
