'Metal Mad': An Army Of Artists Paying Homage To Heavy Metal

January 21, 2010

Giant Robot Gallery in New York City will host Metal Mad, a group art show featuring works inspired by the headbanging, guitar-driven, amps-to-11 musical genre owned by the misunderstood.

While all artists will share a love of shredding guitar and bone-shaking volume, their styles and mediums will be as different as dark metal, black metal, speed metal, thrash, grindcore, and stoner rock. Contributors come from America, Asia, and Europe:

* Aeron Alfrey
* Chris Bettig
* Bigfoot
* Aaron Brown
* Buff Monster
* Michael Coleman
* Louie Cordero
* Cupco
* Tom Forget
* Noel Freibert
* French
* Matt Furie
* Joe The Artist
* Paul Lyons
* Jeremiah Maddock
* Kiyoshi Nakazawa
* Tom Neely
* Matt Nelson
* Eric Nyquist
* Martin Ontiveros
* Prodip
* Brian Ralph
* Albert Reyes
* Scrappers
* Skinner
* Ryan Jacob Smith
* Bwana Spoons
* Hannah Stouffer

Works will include illustration, paintings, three-dimensional modeling, and other forms, and palettes will range from stark, evil black-and-white to bright, concert poster-inspired colors. And, yes, the art will totally rule.

Giant Robot was born as a Los Angeles-based magazine about Asian, Asian-American, and new hybrid culture in 1994, but has evolved into a full-service pop culture provider with shops and galleries in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York City, as well as an online equivalent.

A reception featuring many of the artists will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 6.
