HOTEL LUNAR LOWELL EXHIBIT OPENS TONIGHT!

The Hotel Lunar Lowell exhibit opens tonight (6/18/11)!  My friend Julie Bohan and I have some pieces in this exhibit! 

As you can imagine, as the AtomicWarBride, this theme really called to me. 

I am exhibiting my sculpture Fitzwilliam, Esquire and Aquanaut:






And I am also showing some of my Atomic-Themed paintings:







Here's a description of the incredible exhibit from curator Jules Anslow:
IT'S TODAY!! Because the painting "Hotel Lunar Lowell" did not get finished, Joolz will be using it for a painting demonstration tonight during the opening! Plus a few funky installations! See you there!!

"It Came From The Basement" Rod Countryman

The Atomic Age! The world was innocent, full of hope, imagination, possibility. Flying cars? Will do. Automated homes? Check. Personal robots? You betcha. There was simply nothing that couldn't be accomplished with the help of our pal, the atom, and his sparkling personality. The nuclear era was born.
Well, with any luck, we celebrate now the end of the nuclear reign, but marvel as well at the optimistic flights of fancy that paved the way for some of the most amazing technology we've witnessed to date. The inventiveness that germinated from those early days continues, in not only our science fiction, but science fact, rendering those two notions inseparable.

This juried group show will feature art that celebrates science fiction, the atomic age, atomicpunk, steampunk, fantasy tech, radioactive monsters, and the optimistic aesthetic of mid-century design.

Featured artists include
Rod Countryman, Jerry Whiting, Stephen Lestat, Jenny Dayton, Joolz Anzleaux, Paula Rey, Lea Barozzi, Rita Bellanca and more!
LAW stays open till 9PM, so enjoy the
Everett Art Walk downtown and end up with us! Or catch the new shuttle from downtown!

Join us, won't you? (Our mind-control techniques actually leave you little choice in the matter. See you Saturday!)
