PRESS (UPDATED June 22): Known art boss Ron English has masterminded a gathering to take place in Los Angles at De La Barracuda on Sunday, July 19, 2009. In the days leading to the Family Tradition art exhibition, MINDstyle will provide an inside look of all known art suspects participating along with updates on what has been called, "a gathering of epic proportions. "Sources close to the on going investigation stated, English elected to work with an elite group of close friends and known associates instead of calling for a hit squad of artists like most group shows to remain under the radar of law enforcement." The group includes the likes of Chet Zar, Clark V. Fox, Eric White, Gibby Hanes of The Butthole Surfers, Mark Dean Veca, Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park and Robert Criag, just to name a few. Family Tradition will also serve as the global launch for toy pioneer Michael Lau's highly anticipated, "The Godfather" vinyl art toy collectible figure.
Case File #1: Chet Zar
Strong arm enforcer of alternative realities, Chet began his life of crime in the motion picture industry as a special effects make-up artist and creature designer for “The Ring,” “Hellboy,” and “Planet of the Apes.” Mr. Zar has since become a made man in the Cosa Nostra Art World.
Evidence:
His oil painting on canvas titled "Sleeping With the Fishes" will make one wonder exactly what will be unveiled at the Family Tradition art exhibition.
Case File #2: Clark V. Fox
Often referred to as the Godfather of modern underground art, Clark emerged a made man in the art world of the 1960’s as the youngest acknowledged member of the notorious Washington Color School. Frustrated by the restrictions of the movement, the young art capo developed his now signature association of pop, pointillism and left of leftist politics. Reliable sources have said, "Clark Fox is a master at painting Old Masters. Classically trained, Fox eventually threw away his university notebook and started painting with his eyes, imagination, colors and brushes. Developing a style that combines both realism and farce, Fox has exhibited from Tokyo to NYC and everywhere in between. Private collectors of Fox scramble to acquire his work."
Evidence:
Clark Fox has permanent installations in The National Gallery of Art and The Corcoran Museum of Art in Washington D.C. which proves he is a made man. In addition, his control of the gallery space at the Museum of Contemporary Art, MOCA, in Washington DC further validates his leadership role.
