About the Gallery:
Copro Gallery was founded in 1992 to support emerging artists. Copro’s Principle and Owner, Greg Escalante, continued to expand within the art world and co-founded Juxtapoz magazine in 1994. The gallery continues to this day to uphold its ethos of assisting and curating museum exhibitions, as well as participating in International Art Fairs and curating ‘outside exhibits’ to further promote their artists. Alongside this, Copro Gallery continues to exhibit well-established and high end artists, helping to place paintings in private collections and museums around the world. As described on their website, “Copro strives to assist collectors new and experienced in building the most exciting collections possible”.
About the Curator:
Monte Beauchamp’s books have been featured in Vanity Fair, The New York Times, The Onion, The Believer, Flaunt, Bizarre, Graphis, Print, and ForeWard magazine. Having already created BLAB WORLD 1 and 2, the selection of paintings being show in Copro Gallery’s eleventh annual BLAB! group show are all a part of Beauchamp’s upcoming BLAB WORLD 3.
