Celebrated lowbrow artists give it up for "Boobies." Art in Support of Busted, an online art auction to benefit women battling breast cancer, returns for its second year starting on October 1. The auction launches on eBay and will be accompanied by a gallery preview reception in Los Angeles' Chinatown for artists and prospective bidders.  

Funds raised from Art in Support of Busted go directly to the Busted Foundation, a

SoCal-based charity organization that offers assistance to women fighting breast cancer.

The foundation was launched in 2007 by Stefanie LaHart and Gabriel Rountree to

provide both financial and educational support for breast cancer patients as they go

through medical treatment. Busted's signature annual fundraiser Bowling for Boobies

has raised over $400,000 in total.

Following the success of last year's inaugural auction, which raised $5,100, curator

Diana Gomez aimed to expand this year's event with a gallery preview reception. "The

gallery preview is a great way to say thank you to the amazing artists who are so

generously donating their pieces," said Gomez. "And although all the pieces are available to bidders worldwide through eBay, it's a nice perk for locals to be able to see the work firsthand prior to bidding."

This year's auction will take place from October 1-10 on eBay and features original work from artists including Ana Bagayan, Apricot Mantle, Aunia Kahn, Bad Otis Link, Bob Dob, Brandi Milne, Cate Rangel, Cathie Bleck, Chet Zar, Christopher Umana, Craig "Skibs" Barker, Dan Quintana, Edward Walton Wilcox, Greg "Craola" Simkins, Jana Brike, Jennybird Alcantara, Jessica Dalva, Jessica Ward, Liz McGrath, Mall, Martin Wittfooth, Nicole Bruckman, Shepard Fairey, Steven Daily, Tara McPherson, and Tomi Monstre.    

The gallery preview will open with a reception on October 1 from 7-11 PM at Mirror Gallery, 963 Chung King Road, Los Angeles. Please visit www.artinsupportofbusted.com and www.bustedfoundation.org for more information

Art of the Real: David Poxon RI

ART OF THE REAL: DAVID POXON RI

On Display from April 6, 2012 – April 30, 2012

CHARLESTON, SC (September 2011)- M Gallery of Fine Art SE is pleased to present “Art of the Real,” an exhibition featuring watercolorists Angus McEwan RWS ARWS, David Poxon RI, Denis Ryan RWS and Sandra Walker RI. As with many movements in the history of art, these artists have come together in celebration of common ideals. The show will be composed of approximately 40 watercolors, with 10 pieces from each artist. The show will hang from April 6^th – April 30^th, after which time it will travel to other cities in the U.S. The opening reception will be held on Friday, April 6th, in tandem with the First Friday Art Walk.

David Poxon RI

The need to feel a strong personal connection to their subjects is evident throughout the groups’ work. David Poxon’s paintings of abandoned objects are visually stunning and denote a past – a hidden story of work and toil.  This is a recurring theme in his work, whether it’s a piece of machinery, a lock, a door, sometimes a mountain of old metal and broken tools, that are all in a state of reclamation by nature. What once were things created and used by man, then discarded, become objects of adornment.

When a painting works there is a resonance, which stretches beyond both subject and picture plane, reaching out to the viewer and transcending a mere visual experience. To be able to convey something of the 'real' of my subjects, which are the commonplace, the overlooked, the places and work things of mankind, is a powerful and stimulating experience, a joyful and respectful thing.
