LOS ANGELES, CA - Scion and Beautiful/Decay Magazine are pleased to present: “Archive,” an exhibition showcasing 4 international artists. Supporting emerging and established artists since its conception, Beautiful/Decay brings together previously featured artists Aya Kato, Friends With You, Jesse LeDoux, and Skwak to celebrate the convergence of art, design, music, and pop culture.

For Archive, Creative Director and Founder Amir H. Fallah selected these artists for their ability to move effortlessly between various art genres. The artists in this show, display work that rejects classification and defies categorization. Infusing hand drawn and digital media in their work, each artist uniquely reflects the commonalities that exist in art between divergent disciplines. Fallah’s curatorial debut is also the first major US show for both Aya Kato and Skwak.

Aya Kato, a young artist from Japan, first graced the cover of Beautiful/Decay (Issue: K) with a breathtaking illustration. Transforming a common fairytale or love story into a vivid work of art, Aya’s creations reference everything from anime and manga, to the French art nouveau movement and traditional Japanese scroll art.

Skwak’s art provides a glimpse into the secure realms of Skwakworld as it translates to the serious subject matter of reality. First featured in Issue: J, Skwak utilizes flat illustration and plush forms to conjure his “Koogai,” a personification of disgust and a visual critique on the decrepit state of our world.

Jesse LeDoux, a veteran art director and designer, has created iconic album and poster artwork for such artists such as The Shins, Iron and Wine, and Hot Hot Heat. Showcasing his talent in Issue: M of Beautiful/Decay, Jesse’s art combines his avant-garde design sensibility with pop cultural and musical influences.

Friends With You formed by Sam Borkson and Arturo Sandoval in 2002, was created with one basic concept in mind and that was to become “friends with you.” Originally interviewed for Issue: J, this artist group has spread it’s message globally with signature plush dolls, modular wooden toys, public art installations, and motion pictures.

Archive will be on display from August 19th- September 1st at Scion Installation LA. The reception will be held on Saturday, August 19th from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. A 196 page, full color catalog will be published for the show. All artists will be present for an exclusive meet and greet as well as book signing.
