Hyaena Gallery Presents: "High Class LowBrow"

        The Lowbrow Art movement arose from Los Angeles like a cartoonish middle finger aimed at the establishment art regime of the 1970's and 1980's. Sarcastic and witty, and possessing a wealth of imagination and talent, the originators of the movement carved a solid niche for themselves and fronted a rebellion against the art magazines, schools                       and museums that refused to acknowledge the relevance of their work.                 

              Throughout the years as Lowbrow grew in popularity, countless imitators spawned a less threatening version of the style that was deemed more acceptable and this helped spread the movement. Underneath the surface, however, there still lies a foundation of angst and mischief that is just begging to be let loose.  So we are opening the demonic floodgates and aiming our sights on the original institution, the art museums. Sit back and let us take you on a journey through the classics, as seen from the gutter.

                          Opening Reception: Saturday, Sept. 10th 8pm-midnight

                             On Exhibit: Sept. 1- Sept. 21 2011
