Arik Roper and Skinner Art Show Opens Tonight in Brooklyn

Brooklyn’s Cotton Candy Machine will be hosting a gallery show for the next few weeks featuring the works of Brooklyn-based Arik Roper and Oakland, CA’s Skinner. Dubbed “New Maps of the Abyss,” the show plays Roper‘s sometimes murky, darker-toned visualizations off of Skinner‘s vivid, otherworldly sharpness, both working in an epic style but obviously playing off different influences. If you happen to be in that part of the world tonight, they’re doing an opening whathaveyou this evening, and if you’re going to be sometime in the next few weeks, the show will be going on until Dec. 7. Anytime you get to see Roper‘s work in person and appreciate the detail, it’s worth doing so, and I’m not sure, but I guess there’s always a chance Skinner might be showing some of his patches and/or figurines along with the prints, and whatever winds up being there, you don’t really lose.

ARIK ROPER AND SKINNER

November 14th – December 7th

New Maps Of The Abyss is a two man show presenting new bodies of work by Arik Roper and Skinner, two of the most distinct voices in proto fantasy art today. Two distinct styles covering the more distant spaces on the spectrum of bizarre visionary art. Illustrative, fantastic and one of a kind, these two mind freaks have naturally gravitated towards each other to form this amazing show.

The installation they have created at the Cotton Candy Machine will transport you to a place where you could experience these visions in their natural habitat! Welcome to new maps of the abyss!

Presale for the show is live now and selling fast. Visit our event page here to preview the available works!

Please email info@thecottoncandymachine.com with a list of paintings you would like to purchase. Do include alternates choices in case the pieces you are after have been sold.

Join us for the opening event!

Skinner challenged himself to create new visions of classic Dungeons and Dragons characters in a new illustrative reconnection to himself in an homage to the things that have ignited his mind as a youth! An indulgent look at his heart held influences.

An outstanding 38 original paintings now fill the walls with Skinners insane vision and rebirth of these classic monsters.

Cotton Candy Machine will be releasing a new limited edition print from Skinner tomorrow at the opening first come first served. So come early!

For New Maps Of The Abyss, Arik Roper has created scenes and entities that one would encounter when traveling into the subconscious abyss! All in his incredibly beautiful otherworldly style.
