Pop surrealist Andrew Brandou has a mind-bending new show of paintings opening Halloween evening at the Corey Helford Gallery in Culver City, California. The show, titled "In The Garden of the Mystic," runs until November 18. Above, "Vulpes Vulpes" on left and "Midnight Blooms" on right. From the gallery:
Influenced by 1960’s posters, music and psychedelia, Brandou’s new work takes a walk on the wild side and a more organic narrative ensues. The artist’s iconic flower motifs, skulls, bunnies and boxes transform into a kaleidoscope of stunning psychonautic imagery. Ornate gold leaf accents decorate mind-expanding dreamscapes where the ego merges into the id, fear is released and beauty resides. The exhibition will also include a rare series of limited-edition silkscreens on wood block based on vintage rock posters.Sneak preview after the jump...

That's trippy stuff. While you're in Culver City visiting it, be sure to also visit the amazing Museum of Jurassic Technology, and if the Center for Land Use Interpretation next door is open, that's also worthwhile.
Whooooooa. The first three times I saw these I did not see the fox and the skull.
Nice.
The ones on black remind me of the Black Velvetopia stage in Psychonauts.

Of all the artists I have been introduced to via Boing Boing, Brandou is my favorite.
