Pure, Unadulterated Joy

Pure, Unadulterated Joy was on view at the Brea Gallery from July 23rd through December 4th, 2022. After the endlessly bleak last two years of the covid-19 pandemic, people need a little pop of brightness in their lives. And the Brea Gallery is here to provide just that! Filled to the brim with the most brightly colored, joyous, pop-culture-nostalgic artwork to be found, this syrupy sweet exhibit is sure to leave the 90s kids of Lisa Frank with a real sugar rush. Exploring the contemporary resurgences of pop art, super-saturated color, low-brow subject matter, and surrealism, this art show showcases everything from the downright adorable to the creepy cute, guaranteed to put a smile on anyone’s face.

Artists: Darel Carey, Andrea Guzzetta , Nina Jun , Elise Cervantes Martinez, Jeremy Rise, Marisa Sayler, Daniel “Attaboy” Seifert, Sari Shryack, Sarah Stieber , Devon Walz , Sarah Anne Ward, and Ingrid Wells

The exhibit was presented virtually in a variety of ways including an Instagram Live Curator Tour, viewable here. More details can be found on the Brea Gallery website.
