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.

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 - Leah Dorrian

We met Leah Dorrian as she traversed her way across the U.S. in her transition move from Maryland to California.  She found herself in Austin and decided to see if there were any visionary art galleries in Austin.  She walked in and we were instantly attracted to her spirit.  As we spoke, Leah began to effuse art, light, and empathy and it quickly became obvious that she was more than just a traveler who stumbled into our visionary establishment.

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.


In 1995, Leah Dorrian was gifted from the universe to her mother Jill and father, John in Rockville, Maryland.  She came into the world with two older siblings and one more to come. Her childhood was filled with creative freedom in the realms of art and music, where she developed what would become a lifelong passion for both. 
When she was six, her mother encouraged her to develop her artistic skills further by submitting works to a professional artist's guild where she was accepted and began to create amongst inspiring and accomplished artists. She says she will never forget her first day.  She spent three hours at an adult-sized stool, hovering over her workspace, creating a landscape painting of a mountain and lake with a sailboat floating off into the distance.

"This was the beginning of my humbling journey within the artistic world where I started studying and making art with intention, using it as a tool to explore my imagination, spirituality, and the vast possibilities of creation."

She attended the Arts and Communications Academy in Frederick, Maryland where she continued studies in art history and studio art, becoming a featured artist in galleries of the Walter’s Art Museum of Baltimore and the Delaplaine Art Center of Maryland. She received her Bachelor’s degree in graphic design at the University of Maryland. 

In her sophomore year, after delving deeper into yoga and meditation practices and experiencing profound shamanic and transcendental experiences, her art began to take on a surrealistic quality that matured into the visionary artworks that epitomize the messages and energetic representations of matter in other realms of the subconscious that she was exploring. She has live painted at various music and art festivals including Envision Festival in Costa Rica, the Conscious Collective in Pennsylvania, Clustxr in West Virginia, and Kinnection Campout in Tennessee.
  
After graduating, she created began a freelance art and design business Dorrian Designs, working with clients on projects from logo designs to huge mural paintings, tattoo designs to documentary music scores- and anything else creative that was in alignment with her heart! She is more than just an art creation machine, she embraces traveling, photography, reading, hiking, dancing, singing, and connecting with nature and people.


On September 1. 2018, she set off from her studio in Maryland to embark on a month and a half long adventure across the country to paint en plein air in awe-inspiring settings within National Parks. Drawing from her love of nature, wildlife, music, and environmental sustainability, I created works of art and musical pieces that brought an awareness to the importance of cherishing nature. Her work is a conduit and invitation to the viewer to unconditionally embrace the vast expanse of their consciousness.  She views herself as a dedicated artist for the global awakening of humanity.

​Join us November 18th at Gallery Lucid from 6pm-9pm for an evening of beauty, insight, and expression. 
​
A portion of the proceeds go to All Things Wild, an Austin organization that promotes respect and compassion for all wildlife through public education and awareness; to rescue and rehabilitate sick, injured, orphaned and displaced wildlife and release them back into the appropriate habitat; and to provide sanctuary for all animals in need.

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!

Artists:

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.

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.

Visionary Artist Meetup at Gallery Lucid

Join us on the 21st of August for Gallery Lucid's monthly Meetup.  
Picture
This gathering is to bring artists together to meet, collaborate, and network in an environment that fosters creativity and collaboration. You are welcome to bring an easel, brushes, pastels, etc. Novice to master, all are welcome.

If you plan to sit and sketch/paint/write, please know we are very limited on chairs/stools and it might be wise to bring what you need.

We should have an LED Black Light if you are working in a black light medium.

We will have some sake, snacks, and we might break out some of the consciousness toys. Please feel free to BYO if there is something special you would like for yourself or to share.

If, for some reason, the meetup gets too large or we run out of libations, Black Star Coop is directly across the street.

If it runs long because we're having fun, so be it. I made it 4 hours instead of two because 2 is barely enough time to settle in to paint. lol

There will be no charge for this meetup, but there will be a jar for donations to help pay for food, drinks, etc.

Musical Artist Spotlight - Michael Garfield

Picture

​
​We are excited to welcome Michael Garfield, host of the"Future Fossils" podcast, as our featured musician for the Surreal Summer Visions show at Gallery Lucid on August 4th at 7pm.
​


Picture


​Michael
 writes music for which new words must be invented.  Simultaneously tender and apocalyptic, chill and energetic, intensely technical, yet vulnerable tunes that re-imagine folk and psychedelic rock alike, updating "solo artist with guitar" to suit our age of planetary renaissance.​

Picture
Marrying the singer-songwriter and electronic live producer, Michael's live sets nimbly shift from ecstatic instrumental improvs to deftly executed fretboard-tapping etudes to athletic songcraft of heart-breaking sweetness – pointing past the genre and techniques to bring his audiences into lush and atmospheric, driving and dynamic spaces spanning folk tradition and the avant-garde.
