[EXPERIMENTAL] Two local artists, Colin Maccubbin and Florian Ayala Fauna, will present their uniquely disarming visual artwork at Sugar City on Friday, March 4 as part of their joint show titled Black Stag and the Blood Glamor. The more extreme artist, Florian Ayala Fauna’s artwork is based on personal visions, religious experiences, encounters with beings from alternative planes, and traditional mysticism, according to an artists statement. Maccubbin’s on the other hand is inspired by chaos and rock music, and working in the entertainment industry in Los Angeles. Despite their apparent differences—Maccubin’s work is more colorful and bombastic whereas Florian Ayala Fauna’s work is drenched in darkness—their art is quite similar, both making use of collage and text in their imagery. The opening reception of the show will feature music from Florian Ayala Fauna’s music group uncertain—featuring local musicians Nola Ann Ran of Cages, George Moore of STCLVR, and Andy Czuba of Flesh Trade—as well as music from VWLS, Bicycle Myself, and Flesh Trade.
