Supah Mashup Art Party: Leslie Levings & Shing Yin Khor

forest beast

This forest beast by Leslie Levings and Shing Yin Khor is too spectacular for words. In addition to preparing for The Corner Museum of Dubious Beasts, Leslie and Shing collaborated on this sleepy forest beast and fatty friends for Supah Mashup Art Party.

Leslie sculpted the big guy with its antlers and also painted the antlers. Shing added the fattybugs and mushrooms and provided the overall paint job. I love how this piece combines both of their styles so seamlessly.

herbert & harold

Meet Herbert and Harold! Herbert (grumpy head) and Harold (happy head) are/is a distant relative of the Loch Ness Monster and a resident of the LA River. Be careful if you have plumbing issues: he is likely to emerge and eat your chips or record bad reality TV on your DVR.

Opening on the same night as Supah Mashup Art Party will be The Corner Museum of Dubious Beasts – a two-person show featuring critter curators and sculptors Leslie Levings and Shing Yin Khor. Here are some ‘eagle rock larms’ who will be appearing at Leanna Lin’s Wonderland on May 11. Shing explains, “Eagle Rock is not known for its rocks. it’s just where Leanna Lin’s Wonderland is located….which is where these guys are going.” Get it? Good.
