When your art is on the front of @beautifulbizarremagazine 's front page of their site, it's a good day! I'm only slightly freaking out.. Thank you @darkartemporium . Here's my statement about the show: .... "Shane Izykowski’sThe Kind of Love That Doesn’t Die is an exploration of the experience of love and relationships, vulnerability within our deep connections and the fleeting nature of love itself. The societal misconception of a successful relationship creates a misled feeling of failure when not meeting those standards. And the storybook romance told in cinema and throughout our childhood never actually existed the way they told us it did. The real truth is that vulnerability is the key to genuine connection and love comes in all forms. True love is not a straight path, and you will find yourself swimming through an ocean of severe loss, trauma, self exploration and a multitude of conflicting feelings. This new series documents the artist’s personal experiences and a visual representation of what can be widely accepted as shared experiences.You are also invited to declare your anonymous vulnerabilities on the artist’s website:www.shaneizykowski.com, which will conclude with an artist talk on February 18th at 7 p.m. PST, hosted online by Jennifer Vasquez. . #beautifulbizarre #DarkArtemporium #darkartists #darkartsociety #oilpainters #artmagazine #artmag #ContemporaryArtists #DarkSurrealism #DarkGothicPortraits #goth #Brokenhearted #trauma #grief #SelfLove #artnews #artpublishers #losangeles #laartscene #LongBeachArtists See more

"An Expected Expiration" Oil on Plexiglass, Recycled Objects, Magic Sculpt. . Part of my series "The Kind of Love That Doesn't Die" unveiling THIS SATURDAY at 7 pm PST (Link in bio). .... Model: @kira_conley <-- ridiculously talented model and amazing soul. Go follow. . This contains a hand-made sculpture (Magic Sculpt) as the pendulum, "An Expected Expiration" is a death's head moth cocoon. Clock keys that fit are included but it's not in 100% working order, and even if it were, the accuracy would likely be off. But, it's definitely fun to look at and will chime if you play around with it. . . . #darkart #skullart #assemblage #darksurrealism #darkgothic #horror #brokenheartsclub #weweredoomedfromthestart #clock #horology #darkartsociety #goth #antiques #japaneseclocks #beautifulbizarre #hifructose See more
