In Hollywood…

From the twilight light of effervescent greens, crimson, pink, & blue we invite you to an immersive evening of phosphorescent landscapes. These paintings were created simultaneously by Ron Regé Jr. & Nora Keyes during a 5 month period from January 2013 -May 2013. No preparation was made for these pieces. They are revelatory subconscious works.

Nora Keyes is a multi disciplinary artist who is native to Los Angeles. She has been an active member of the underground art and music scene since the mid ’90′s. Her visual and sonic creations are, as she describes, ‘Improvisations of the multiplicities of abundant realities that exist parallel to our own solidified view.”

Ron Regé, Jr began self publishing & distributing his own comics in Cambridge, MA during the early 1990’s. His first Graphic Novel Skibber Bee~Bye was published by Highwater Books in 2000. His most recent, The Cartoon Utopia was released in 2012. His newest story, The Weaver Festival Phenomenon will be released by Fantagraphics in the fall of 2016.
