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.

Join us on the 21st of August for Gallery Lucid's monthly Meetup.
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.
Have you experienced the magic of collaborative creation? Do you wish to share the inspiring work that cooperation and co-creation produces? To celebrate the fascinating growing trend of artists collaborating on projects, Gallery Lucid is dedicating its next show to collaborative works of art: works created by two or more artists. Submit your works now through August 19th for a chance to be a part of this multi-faceted show!
The show is set to run from September 8th to October 14th. Please note: This show runs through both ACL weekends, and will be advertised throughout the the run of the city-wide festival.
Gallery Lucid focuses on works that are in the realm of visionary, surreal and psychedelic, and submissions should be representative of these genres. These genres are, however, wide and open to great interpretation: all are welcome to apply.
ACCEPTED MEDIA:

Wire wrap jewelry artist, hula hoop and flow artist (as well as international instructor), and all-around crafty woman, Caterina Suttin is a wellspring of creativity and earthy healing avenues.
This year she celebrates her 15th year as a wire wrap artist, producing ever more inspired, intricate work. She loves not only producing from her own intuition, but making custom pieces.
Caterina is an Austin native who travels abundantly, leaving sparks of her art and knowledge in her wake. Catch her while she’s still here in the US...it’s hard to know where the wind might take her next!
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.
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.
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.
Through sculpture, painting, film and performance arts, Eris Gentle expresses the intensity and absurdity of human existence using everyday objects and forms to express everything from spiritual awakening to madness.
Eris is a multimedia artist who hails from New Orleans, but is now based in Austin. As she appreciates the intensity and dynamic nature of life and uses painting, drawing, clay sculpture, film, and performance to tell her stories and to challenge our views on the nature of why we are here.
"I" by Eris Gentle 12"x9" Acrylic Ink Her work acknowledges the surreal elements and underlying enchantments in everyday objects, landscapes, and human forms. She's fascinated by subjects that normally don't come up in conversation like the phenomenon of dreaming, psychedelic experiences, spiritual awakening, and how we understand this reality. Her creations appear to be an intentional invitation to generate discussions about such intriguing ideas.
You can check work out at Gallery Lucid until August 27, 2018 and find more examples of her work on her Instagram page or her website.
Axiom is a classically trained artist who has utilized his art in an attempt to reveal the internal elements of subconscious realms for others to experience.
He believes variety and the challenge of "what could be" to be important aspects of artistic courage and in that vein, his artist statement is one sentence:
"The creative potential within is our greatest alley in the search for our own personal truth."

Artist Spotlight-Robert Page
Spanning realism and surrealism, light and fun to moody, Robert's work humorously advocates the idea that anything is possible.
Robert Page grew up in a small town in North Carolina where he learned a great deal about art and how welcoming people can be in the art community. After many experiences and much growth, he decided to approach his work and life anew. Robert now lives and creates in Austin, Texas.
He is a self-taught artist. Dedicated, he has been painting for nearly 20 years. He believes capturing the look or posture of a person is important in his art. Robert’s style is moody, incorporating humor, and surrealistic at times. Along with his figurative work, he has recently worked on a series of animal paintings that are light and fun. As he puts it: "Trying to depict the soul of a creature is challenging and I strive to create paintings that are thought provoking. I have been painting these large animals floating around for a number of years now, I feel like it is freeing. The idea in which anything is possible."
You can check out his website here and his instagram here and you can meet him on Saturday, August 4th at Gallery Lucid.

Artist Spotlight - Rosemary Allen
Self-trained and influenced by her time with CoSM, Rosemary's works are an invocation of healing and transformation emanating from mediation and energetic processing
"The Messenger" by Rosemary Allen (2018) 24x48 inch acrylic on linen
Rosemary Allen is an Austin artist who was raised in Black Creek, WI and moved to Texas at age 15. She has been drawing and painting since childhood and has always had a passion for expressing her creativity from painting, to acting, to even designing and sewing her own dresses. She is a self taught painter with no formal training other than occasional guidance from her Mother (Patty Allen) who is also a painter. She attended a Visionary Art Intensive with Alex and Allison Grey in 2014 but has honed her skills mostly from her own trial and error. She currently works with watercolours, acrylics, and oil and has been residing in Austin, Texas since 2013.
Rosemary's mystical work invokes the power to heal and transform. The subject matter portrays a direct reflection of self-work and emotional processing. She views art as a meditative practice, and believes the energy a painting radiates directly affects a viewer's psyche. Each of Rosemary's spirit animal paintings represent a state of transformation and growth as they assist in the progression of maturity and awareness of the human experience.
