Representing a wide variety of amazing work, "Tragic Heroes" is showing at As Issued@ The Lab, Costa Mesa, CA, and is on view April 6th to May 5th. Our buddy Zach Johnsen is in charge so you know it will be solid."A Group show dedicated to the flawed figure, the tragically miscalculated, and the culture of the under rated in art today."Featured Artists: John Lupo Avanti, Morgaine Faye, Eatch, Linsey Levendall, J. Shea, Zach Johnsen, Marion Bolognesi, Jeremiah Maddock and David Wien."Curated by Zach Johnsen, Tragic Heroes will showcase work by emerging artists whose work encapsulates the idea of the tragic hero. Both in subject matter and style, this show will explore how the concept of the tragic hero is depicted off stage and in art today. From the suicidal to the self-deprecating, the hero of this show is the tragically ugly, the miscalculated and ultimately, the loser with the best intentions. Join us in celebrating the culture of the under rated.""As Issuedis the only Orange County contemporary art and design bookstore that provides a definitive source for publications focusing on contemporary art and design references. Our thoughts are that art is not limited to the walls of gallery or a museum, nor is it controlled by any specific surface or subject matter. As Issued provides a space for likeminded people to connect and discuss aesthetics and opinions within the context of historical and contemporary art."
