Preview: “Bunnycutlet Presents” at Cotton Candy Machine

Bunnycutlet started out as a brick-and-mortar art gallery. Though it closed its doors indefinitely last year, the project lives on in the form of a traveling curatorial platform. Liz Artinian, the brains of the operation, is putting together the group show "Bunnycutlet Presents" at Cotton Candy Machine in Brooklyn. The show opens January 16 and features new, surreal, illustration-inspired work by Ryan Heshka, Jean-Paul Mallozzi, Kelly Denato, Ian Ferguson, Christy Karacas, Kristen Liu Wong, and Joohee Park. Check out a few sneak peeks below.

Preview: Skinner and Arik Roper’s “New Maps of the the Abyss” at Cotton Candy Machine

Those unfazed by blood, guts and slime will enjoy Arik Roper and Skinner's two-man show, "New Maps of the Abyss," opening this evening at Cotton Candy Machine in Brooklyn. Skinner (featured in our Hi-Fructose Collected 3 Box Set) is a Oakland-based artist and illustrator whose love of heavy metal and comic books is apparent in his mixed-media work. For "New Maps of the Abyss," he created an extensive series of acrylic and ink pieces on board. Each neon-hued painting features a different demonic character from Skinner's personal underworld.

Studio Visit: Behind the Scenes of Lauren YS’ “Devil’s Jelly” at Cotton Candy Machine

Lauren YS' studio is located in a sprawling Oakland co-op that once housed an architecture office. The gigantic drafting tables its original tenants left behind proved to be useful while she worked on her new body of work for her solo show, "Devil's Jelly," opening at Cotton Candy Machine in Brooklyn on April 18. Her surreal drawings and paintings feature shape-shifting female characters that seem to embody the artist's various dreams — as well as fears and anxieties. YS interjects punches of striking neon colors that match her work's bold attitude. Today, we take a look behind the scenes of "Devil's Jelly" before her work travels to New York.

Preview: Camilla D’Errico and Hikari Shimoda’s “Niji Bambini” at Cotton Candy Machine

Though their styles differ, Hikari Shimoda (featured in HF Vol. 29) and Camilla D'Errico each use a fluorescent color palette and childlike, illustrative imagery to apprehend adult anxieties. The two artists teamed up for their two-person show "Niji Bambini" (which combines Japanese and Italian, the artists' native tongues, to translate to "Rainbow Children"), opening at Brooklyn's Cotton Candy Machine on October 10.

On View: Annual “Tiny Trifecta” Group Show at Cotton Candy Machine

Where else might one be able to acquire a Mark Ryden piece for $100? The annual Tiny Trifecta group show at Brooklyn's Cotton Candy Machine debuted last Saturday, June 14, to an eager crowd — some of whom, according to co-owner Sean Leonard, had been camping out for several days. Curated by artist and CCM co-owner Tara McPherson, the group show featured three works each from over 100 contemporary artists — well-known figures like Marco Mazzoni, Shepard Fairey and Amy Sol, and emerging artists such as Fefe Talavera and Diana Sudyka. With the walls practically wall-papered with the array of work, the show offers a diverse sampling of fun pieces, from the illustrative to the abstract.
