Doug LaRue - A Solo Show

Picture


On March 9th, Gallery Lucid will be presenting a solo show by Doug LaRue. This will be something a little different than the artists we typically present.  Doug is an Austin-local painter,  photographer, and ink artist.   
He was exposed to a wide range of creative expression at an early age and embraced the organic nature of painting expressed by his mother,  and the technical aspects of Photography and Design he drew from his father, an Engineer.


​

LaRue took classes in photography at SMU and interned with several photographers including Dan Coleman, a peer of Ansel Adams in the 60’s. He got a BS in Environmental Design while working as a photojournalist and artist for newspapers and magazines

Doug is always creating. He has worked in architecture, been a creative director, a medical illustrator, a photographer, cinematographer, a painter, and he owned and operated an arts Zine in Austin.

Join us for his solo show. It will be sponsored by The Brewtorium; lite fare will be provided, and the show will run through April 6th. ​

Elliot Rogers: "Mindscapes" - A Solo Art Show

Join us for a FREE reception and art show at Gallery Lucid with artist Elliot Rogers for his first solo show - “Mindscapes” as we celebrate his vibrantly colored, mind-bending artwork from 6pm to 9pm on Dec. 15th. Elliot constructs hypnotic spaces and surreal mindscapes which reflect his inner meditative visions and explore the connection between the self and the alien other. Pair this with live music by Fyo͞oɡ (aka William Allan Ross), as well as a preview of Elliot’s upcoming album of electronic music (Mystic Prism). 

Elliot’s work is the kind you can get lost in while listening to ethereal tones that warp along with the fold of psychedelic patterns on the canvas. The magic is that Elliot composes and performs that very music. He is known for reality-challenging art and chill, flowing music. Elliot’s art combines aspects of surrealism, abstraction, and psychedelic visionary art. Using vibrant colors, mathematical forms, and repetition, he constructs hypnotic spaces, which reflect inner meditative visions and explore the connection between the self and the alien other.  His art combines aspects of surrealism, abstraction, and psychedelic visionary art.

Elliot will have large and small original paintings, as well as prints and giclées available for purchase. We usually require that purchased paintings stay up throughout the show, but as this is the gift-giving season, we will be allowing those who desire to take the works home with them that night!
Enjoy complimentary creative spirits from Dulce Vida Tequila -Austin (including a return of the favorite Perfect Paloma)

Leah Dorrian - "Visions Rising" Closing Reception sneak peek video

Join Gallery Lucid  for this highly-anticipated FREE EVENT on December 8th, as we welcome back visionary artist Leah Dorrian to close out her first solo-artist exhibition.  Not only are we welcoming her back, we are welcoming her to Austin.  She loved Austin so much when she visited for the opening of her show, she decided this is where she wants to live!  Our city is different and amazing and artists from everywhere recognize it the moment they get to Austin.

​Join us from 6pm to 9pm to meet Leah Dorrian, enjoy liquors and liqueurs provided by Revolution Spirits, deliciously dark craft beer brewed by Black Star Co-op, and delicious organic coffee from Fat Cat's of Austin.  
Leah's art is a form of communication which expresses the subconscious, spirituality, beauty, divinity, and nature in various archetypal modalities. It is embedded with symbols and messages that invite the viewer into intuitive contemplation of the intrinsic nature of the human experience beyond our physical reality. Venturing deep into the mind, Leah's art captures the reverberations of what she has discovered and wishes to share with the collective consciousness to illuminate an ambience of mystery, magic, and peace. From Akashic Records to torroidal unfoldings, Leah's works epitomize the upward shift of human consciousness.
​

10% of sales for the entire run of the show will go to benefit All Things Wild Rehabilitation. ATW rescues and rehabilitates sick, injured, orphaned, and displaced wildlife and release them back into the appropriate habitat and also provides sanctuary for all animals in need. This charity was chosen by the artist, Leah Dorrian.

Thanks to all of our amazing sponsors!

Artist Spotlight - Juan Carlos Amorrortu

Picture
Typically, I write write artist profiles for this blog.  Today, I am going to let J.C. Amorrortu's words do most of the speaking:

​"I was re-incarnated in the city of Lima, Peru on June 23rd into a family of thinkers, professionals and doctors. I remember at a very young age looking through my uncle’s books of medicine and pathology and reading books about the old master painters, hence developing a very especial interest in the human condition and anatomy. I have been doing art for fun since I was a little kid; now I do it as therapy, as a way to further my spiritual evolution in this planet, to have fun and to live.










​


​I moved to Austin in December 21st, 2000. I hold a Bachelors degree in Graphic design, which with addition to all my art studies I have done, in both application and history, have helped me to find a balance in pursuing my vision. My work is difficult to put into one category. I refuse to be put into categories and/or styles. Art is my higher purpose and I march to the beat of my own drum. I acknowledge both the light and the dark in this waking dream we call life. Dreams, past experiences, traumas, fears, love, death among others intertwine to create something unique; sometimes funny, sometimes serious or both".  
​

Picture“The Ride” by J.C. Amorrortu Oils alla prima on 24” x 36” Canvas
J.C.'s work will be on display until November 10th.

Join Gallery Lucid, J.C. Amorrortu, Juan Villegas and Kalee Espitia for the closing reception for the Miradas Profundas show being held from 6-9 pm at Gallery Lucid on November10th.

J.C. and Juan Villegas will be unveiling their first collaborative work together!  These are two of our favorite Austin artists and we are thrilled to see what they have jointly created.  

The most exciting part?  We have no idea what they have in store for us. We know the magic of their individual efforts and can only imagine what will be produced collaboratively.  Come be surprised with us!

Artist Spotlight - Juan Villegas

Picture
Juan Villegas was born in the city of Cali, Colombia, on May 25th 1987 into a family of entrepreneurs, artists, and musicians.  With such a rich family  environment, he quickly started developing an interest in the arts. 
After graduating high school in 2005, Juan moved to Austin, Texas to continue his journey in art and graduated from Sam Houston State University with a bachelor of Fine Arts, focusing in drawing and painting. 

His work consists of dreamlike images occurring where fantasy and reality meet and where time and memory shift.  His images invite the viewer to step into a realm of higher consciousness where the subconscious and the physical world dance and fly together.  By applying a poetic and often metaphorical language via his painting, Juan seduces viewers into a world of equilibrium where intervals of allegory articulate the streams of our human condition.

End-of-Show Live Painting: Merging Perspectives

Picture


Collaboration is key! Each piece was created by two or more artists, and that vibe of coming together resonated throughout the run of the show, with collaborative music, dance, tea service and more throughout the last month. What a show Merging Perspectives turned out to be!

Now it's coming to a close this Saturday, October 13th from 6pm to 9pm at Gallery Lucid, with live painting from the artists of Merging Perspectives. An informal, energetic gathering, the live paintings give the public an inspiring view into the artists' processes. For this event, though, we see several artists working on their processes together.  It's a chance to meet the artists, get inspired, and enjoy the show once more before the paintings move to a new home. We've loved hosting the artists and their mind-bending works--this is definitely a show we're going to miss!

Gallery Lucid

Artists:
Elliot Rogers
​Dixon Stovall

Remember a portion of the proceeds from this show goes out to Art from the Streets,
providing a safe and encouraging environment in which the positive spirit of homeless and at-risk people is nurtured through artistic expression, and who provides them with a source of pride and income through the sale and display of their work. Purchase art you love and support a creative, wonderful cause!

Artist Spotlight  - Elliot Rogers

Elliot Rogers' work is the kind you can get lost in while listening to ethereal tones that warp along with the folds of psychedelic patterns on the canvas. The magic here is that Elliot composes and performs that very music. 

He's known for reality-challenging visionary and psychedelic art and his chill and flowing rock, dance, and electronic music, Elliot is an artist that provides an immersive experience for the senses.  We are excited to present his visual stylings, once again, in a number of collaborations with Texas-based artists.

You will often hear Elliots aural creations drifting from our gallery. He creates soundscapes that generate an environment that allows for comfort and creative flow.  You can check out his Soundcloud station here. 
Come meet Elliot in person at the Merging Perspectives show at Gallery Lucid this Saturday, September 8th at Gallery Lucid.  Not only can you enjoy beautiful art, you will be supporting Art from the Streets, an Austin-based, volunteer-run organization that provides homeless and struggling artists with materials to create unique and affordable artwork in Austin. ​

Artist/Musician Spotlight - Dixon Stovall

Picture
Dixon Stovall will be showing work for the 3rd time in our gallery on September 8th.  Dixon is an Austin, TX-based artist whose influences include biomechanical and futuristic architectural patterns, physics, mathematical, and biologic patterns.  His interpretation of the subconscious realms challenges viewers to create their own perception of future realities. 
​
Dixon has recently released his most recent album, a compilation of melodic bass music with glitchy dreamscapes and dustings of melodic guitar he has entitled, "Habitual Changes" saying:

I’ve spent a good bit of time working on this music, trying to convey the emotions/changes I’ve gone through since the start of this project. Big thanks to Jackson Fred for the mastering, advice, patience, and for being an all around great human. Also thanks to dear friend Elliot Rogers for helping me remix my painting “Terraformulation” for the cover art. 
Picture
You can listen to and download Dixon's new album here.  To contact him for commissions, click here.  To view more of his work on his website click here, check out his Instagram here and his FB page here.  But to really get a chance to connect with Dixon, come meet him in person on Sept. 8th!

Merging Perspectives: Collaborative Art Show opens Sept. 8th

MERGING PERSPECTIVES
​Collaborative Art Show

Picture
There's something powerfully magnetic about a work crafted by two or more artists - a sense of tension and cooperation that makes the finished pieces stand apart from solo works. The release of control when working with a fellow artist opens the door to insight and enlightenment so very different from what an artist achieves on their own. 

"As our world evolves, so do we.  Artists around the globe are working together in ways that amplify the beauty they create by working collaboratively.  Working in flow with other artists increases our abilities and insight regarding art, peers, patrons, and our community.  Collaborative art champions community, creativity, and the power of collective effort."
-Erik Kuykendall


Gallery Lucid is celebrating the growing trend of collaboration within a work of art with several Texas-based artists creating surreal, visionary or altered-perception works. Opening reception will feature artists in attendance, refreshments and live music.
