Lunarbase is pleased to present a group show by four of the hottest artists from two major art scenes in LA and Chicago. Artists are increasingly becoming introspective, creating their own visionary world inhabited by quirky creatures. Glaubitz finds leverage in the paradox between class barriers in the modern world by placing multi-cultural characters and symbols in his work. Ketner provides an escape to a sweet cotton candy world blessed by mystic air and love. Krause gives form to spiritual daydreams, fears, and inspirations using found objects, and McCormick seeks a reality in fame, pop culture and self.

Jeremiah Ketner
		Jeremiah's paintings are an assemblage of muted tones, non-dimensional forms, flower like shapes, and charming little characters navigating through a sort of cotton candy landscapes. The paintings are created with no preliminary drawing; a composition is formed haphazardly and then outlined through the building process of layers. Ketner draws influence from pop-culture, such as Japanese aesthetics, packaging design, magazine ads, and urban graffiti.

Charles Glaubitz
		Inhabiting both sides of what he calls the “paradox” of the border world (he’s the son of an American father and a Mexican-born mother), Glaubitz’s art is a vibrant mix of influences, from Hello Kitty to Tijuana billboards. He utilizes and combines iconography, symbols, metaphors, allegories, stealing, discarding, and experimenting with images from "La línea". His influences include lowbrow art, the subculture, comic books, and anime.

Joshua Krause
		Krause draws from a fascination of popular culture, evolution, and myth and then adds something very personal to it: his daydreams, fears, inspirations, frustrations, wit, and humor. Using mainly acrylics and collage, his illustrations find their way onto a versatile array of surfaces: tattered book covers, wood, canvas, and found objects.

Tim McCormick
		Born into the simultaneously mundane and surreal climate of sunny Southern California, McCormick's work reflects a unique perspective on issues of fame, pop culture, and self. Regarded as a standout within the Southern California art scene, McCormick currently exhibits extensively in Los Angeles, New York, and throughout the greater (and lesser) U.S.
