Ron Zakrin - Still Life with Drum Machine
Ron Zakrin is quickly becoming one of my favorite Detroit artists. His lush color palettes, textured canvas’ and unique characters, with their beautiful otherworldly glow, are hard to turn away from. He easily pulls you into his own mystical realm, and once there you won’t want to leave.
323 East in Royal Oak will be hosting Ron’s next solo show Still Life with Drum Machine. An exhibit heavily influenced by Zakrin’s love of electronic music. Check out the opening on Friday, May 18th and be amazed!

Glenn Barr is rounding up some of your favorite illustrators, lowbrow, pop surrealism & graffiti artists for Lyric 2012, opening this Saturday at 323 East in Royal Oak!
From 323 East:
On the heels of the last March’s inaugural Lyric exhibition at 323East Gallery, Glenn Barr is back to curate the second incarnation of his pervasive musically themed group exhibition Lyric 2012. With an expanded roster of local and international artists ranging from lowbrow, pop surrealism, graffiti and illustration, this show is set to be the largest group exhibition to date at the Metro Detroit gallery named Best of Place to Buy Art (for the 3rd Year in A Row!) by Real Detroit Weekly. For this exhibition Glenn had one simple request for each artist: Each piece of art must be 12 x 12 inches, paying homage to the timeless beauty that can fit on the cover of a vinyl record. Each artist has been given free reign to draw inspiration from their favorite artist, album, song or lyric and put their personal interpretation to canvas.
“Music and its lyrics can always stimulate our emotions as well as leave us contemplating a visual narrative. Artists have always been known to use lyrics as inspiration and with this have created some of the greatest works in the world. This exhibition will illuminate the artist’s personal transcription from a song lyric to canvas.” - Glenn BarrParticipating Artists Include: Luke Chueh / Revok / Brett Amory / Eimi / Matt Eaton / Beau Stanton / Ron Zakrin / Tom Thewes / Tristan Eaton / Travis Louie / Chikuwaemil / Shojonotomo / Mark Heggie / BASK / Ray Domzalski/ Jeff Soto / Rick Morris /Chet Zar / Mark Dancy / Joey Seeman / THH70/ Bryan Cunningham / William Wray / Davin Brainard / Daniel Peacock / David Diavu Vecchiato/ Robert Nixon / Matt Gordon / Casey Weldon / Erik Otto / Martha Rich / John Dunivant / Derek Hess / Chris Dean / Dan Armand / April Segedi / Made514 and more..
They’ll eat your soul and look adorable doing it.

A huge thank you to everyone who made it another fantastic weekend at the Rust Belt Market. I’ll be back with new work next Saturday and Sunday for one more round!
Look at these crazy rabbits getting mixed up with toxic waste, burping out ghosts, sharing some carrots and loving some Dr. Pepper.
