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!

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. ​

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:

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!

Throughout the Merging Perspectives show, Gallery Lucid is very proud to be donating 10% of all art sales to Art from the Streets, a non-profit organization whose gallery and studio provides a safe and encouraging environment in which the positive spirit of homeless and at-risk people is nurtured through artistic expression, and provides them with a source of pride and income through the sale and display of their work.

​Artist Statement
"My paintings combine aspects of surrealism, abstraction, and psychedelic visionary art. Using vibrant colors, mathematical forms, and repetition, I construct hypnotic spaces, which reflect inner meditative visions and explore the connection between the self and the alien other. In the future, I will extend these concepts beyond the canvas, and create more immersive experiences through installation art, virtual reality, video, and music production.
