Giant Robot is proud to present new works by the husband-and--wife team, APAK! Living among the furry conifer giants in a little cabin on the outskirts of Portland, Ayumi and Aaron Piland unite to bring you into their fantasies, as if going on magical journeys and returning with pictures of what transpires in their collective imagination. Their works transplant the bold colors and simplicity of Japanese pop into an expansive mini universe reminiscent of "Gnomes" books from the 80's.

For APAK!'s Worlds of Wonder, the collaborative art duo is preparing 35 medium and small gouache paintings on wood and 6 mixed-media sculptures, as well as a special window installation. The show will depict tiny races of creatures living harmoniously with magical plants and friendly animals in rich, colorful lands.

A reception for the artists will be held from 6:30 to 10:00 on Saturday, May 17. For more information about APAK!,GRNY, or Giant Robot magazine, please contact GRNY.

Work from the Buff Monster solo show 'Born of the Abyss' is now available for view and purchase online! You can check it out here!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Born of the Abyss art show opening

Reception: Saturday, April 19, 6:30 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.

Giant Robot is proud to present new work by Buff Monster at the GRNY Gallery. The artist is best known for his wheat-pasted street art featuring lumps of ice cream, clouds, and squirting breasts. The disarmingly sweet imagery has spilled over into the worlds of fashion, collectibles, and galleries--as well as collaborations for the likes of The Standard, Hurley, Vans, Helio, and Nike.

Born of the Abyss represents a break from Buff Monster's public (and usually illegal) work, and reflects new themes, mediums, and directions. The show will include framed and unframed paintings on paper and wood panels. Inspired and influenced by typography, Christian demonology, heavy metal music, and Japanese monster toys, recurring elements will include geometric patterns and katakana, as well as a new character that he calls Demon Seed. These pieces will be complemented with a limited edition of hand-painted kaiju figures.

A reception attended by the artist will be held from 6:30 to 10:00 on Saturday, April 19. For more information about Buff Monster, GRNY, or Giant Robot magazine, please contact GRNY.
