Giant Robot is proud to host Metal Mad, a group art show featuring works inspired by the head-banging, guitar-driven, amps-to-11 musical genre owned by the misunderstood.
While all artists will share a love of shredding guitar and bone-shaking volume, their styles and mediums will be as different as dark metal, black metal, speed metal, thrash, grindcore, and stoner rock. Contributors come from America, Asia, and Europe:
Aeron Alfrey
Chris Bettig
Bigfoot
Aaron Brown
Buff Monster
Michael Coleman
Louie Cordero
Cupco
Tom Forget
Noel Freibert
French
Matt Furie
Joe The Artist
Paul Lyons
Jeremiah Maddock
Kiyoshi Nakazawa
Tom Neely
Matt Nelson
Eric Nyquist
Martin Ontiveros

Brian Ralph
Albert Reyes
Scrappers
Skinner
Ryan Jacob Smith
Bwana Spoons
Hannah Stouffer
Works will include illustration, paintings, three-dimensional modeling, and other forms, and palettes will range from stark, evil black-and-white to bright, concert poster-inspired colors. And, yes, the art will totally rule.
Giant Robot was born as a Los Angeles-based magazine about Asian, Asian-American, and new hybrid culture in 1994, but has evolved into a full-service pop culture provider with shops and galleries in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York City, as well as an online equivalent. A reception featuring many of the artists will be held from 6:30 to 10:00 on Saturday, February 6.
