Mixed Media Horror Exhibit with Jeffrey Gorski at Horrorbles “Galerie des Terrors”

  • Posted : April 6th, 2010
  • Comments: 0

Horrorbles is proud to welcome Mixed media artist, Jeffrey Gorski on Friday, April 30th from 7:30-10:30 pm. After one of Jeffrey’s custom-painted vinyl dolls – a piece inspired by Friday the 13th slasher Jason Voorhees – went on display at Horrorbles recently, the Galerie eagerly commissioned more work from the artist.

 

An aspiring filmmaker and a photographer by trade, Jeff’s keen eye for detail and passion for all things pop culture guides his aesthetic. He specializes in custom-painted dolls, painted canvas and creative stencil work that inventively – and often humorously – re-imagines some of horror history’s most infamous killers, legendary movie monsters and other beloved characters.

 

Jeff based each piece in his upcoming show at Horrorbles on iconic horror & pop-culture characters, such as the hugely popular video game Bioshock’s looming “Big Daddy” and Homestar’s cocky “Strongbad” luchador, and also designed a few pieces of his own macabre creation, such as a vinyl doll with a saw blade embedded in his skull and another who’s a “work in progress” – skin stitched up like Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas.

 

Jeff’s other pieces celebrate Evil Dead, Halloween and Silent Hill using stencils painted on vintage vinyl records and canvas. Jeff’s collection at Horrorbles will also feature a series of custom-painted mini monsters and more.

 

All displayed pieces will be available for sale with Jeffrey present all evening to answer questions. The artist is also available to do custom work through Horrorbles

Saturday, April 10th: Rats: Night Of Terror (1984) 4pm
One hundred years after a nuclear war has devastated the planet, society has been reborn into two factions; the underground society and the scavangers above in the wastelands.
