The Torture Garden
is a novel written by the French novelist Octave Mirbeau, published in 1899. groundbreaking and shocking to this day, Mirabeau created a dialog about fetish fantasies, desires & nightmares long before culture was ready to accept. perhaps we are still not ready? nevertheless curator Rick Castro explores mirabeau's ideas with the help of seven of his best artists.

(artist~ mackenzie fedoruk)
"Alas, the gates of life never swing open except upon death, never open except upon the palaces and gardens of death. And the universe appears to me like an immense, inexorable torture-garden. Blood everywhere and, where there is most life, horrible tormentors who dig your flesh, saw your bones, and retract your skin with sinister, joyful faces. ~"The Torture Garden," Chapter 9
(artist~ nathan horner)
"Ah, yes! the Torture Garden! Passions, appetites, greed, hatred, and lies; law, social institutions, justice, love, glory, heroism, and religion: these are its monstrous flowers and its hideous instruments of eternal human suffering. What I saw today, and what I heard, is no more than a symbol to me of the entire earth. I have vainly sought a respite in quietude and repose in death, and I can find them nowhere. ~

oil and acrylic paintings have an organic and undeniable stimulation.
the quality of brush strokes, the color pallet, the earthiness of the medium all come together bringing visual and sensual pleasure.
antebellum hollywood would like to present three of our regular artists creating a hand painted environment of seductive desire.
also on display will be miguel reye's dedication to his late model
