The Eric Joyner Artificial Enlightenment exhibit will be featured at the Corey Helford Gallery in Culver City, CA, on September 6, 2008. Worthy of note is that if you watch the video interview of Joyner in his studio, he’s begun a painting which he says will be a robot in a donut factory—one of the painting’s featured in Artificial Enlightenment.
If you remember Robot, Will Robinson’s best friend and foe of Dr. Smith from pop-culture 60’s series, Lost in Space, you’ll be taken back to those days as the iconic figure is presented in quite a few of Joyner’s Artificial Enlightenment paintings.
Joyner’s paintings are filled with robust and bold colorful paintings of robots and feature them doing motorcycle stunts, making donuts, hooking up, driving trains, and more.
Love robots and robot art but can’t make the show? Not to fret, Joyner’s Artificial Enlightenment paintings can be viewed online at his website.
