Bay Area artist Lauren YS says she went through “bouts in academics, literature and writing, teaching, illustration, and animation leading up to her arrival in the urban art sphere.” With work that brings a sense of wonder and vibrancy to communities she says her work “aims to create and populate a misfit wonderland in which imaginary heroines can address the absurdities of reality in the confines of a page or a wall.” With work reflecting a wide range of influences including her Asian-American heritage, her visual narratives always include a bit of the fantastical. When Superchief Gallery, which started in Brooklyn and expanded to Los Angeles, celebrated its 5-year anniversary a couple of months ago, Lauren was unable to be there in person, but still made her presence felt with this new mural on Kohler St. in front of the LA location (with support from Raw Materials Art Supplies).  @lolo.ys  @superchiefgalleryla  @rawmaterialartsupplies

CLOSING this Saturday, Los Angelenos have had the opportunity to kneel down at the altar of ass. Or, at least, view butt-themed art at a group show staged by Superchief proprietors Ed Zipco and Bill Dunleavy in their massive 4000 sq ft downtown gallery and residency space. Titled Booty Worship, the show features roughly 100 visual artists putting their spin on America's new favorite erogenous zone and was curated by the "Grim Creeper" himself, mixed-media artist Reginald Pean, whose work is also featured in the exhibit. Of our continued obsession with backsides, Zipco says, "[The butt] is a boob without nipples. They still censor nipples all over the Internet. And, though it's a weird way to look at it, with the booty, you can have your cake and eat it, too." Indeed. Scope preview photos from the show, below, and check it out in LA before it opens on Saturday, May 30th. Superchief is located at 739 Kohler St., Los Angeles. <<
