Death Scream

Death Scream is a collaborative exhibit of large scale drawings, paintings and sculpture by Mariano Ching and Louie Cordero. Theirs is a world of mutilation and candy cane destruction. Images of gore and violence, cannibals, guns, monsters and other creatures of a post apocalyptic world are depicted with a strangely appealing pop surreal sensibility, reminiscent of viewing late afternoon cartoon shows of a bygone era.

Six of the large scale drawings, combine Louie Cordero’s obsessive horror vacui rendering and aggressive coloring and Mariano Ching’s spare use of space and finely detailed drawings to produce an eclectic yet cohesive and dynamic pairing of styles.

Death Scream may sound like a bizarre heavy metal shriek at the world with its depiction of a world gone mad. Much as the works are strange and baffling, or even dreadful and gory, in the end, it’s about two guys having fun with drawing and painting. Quoting Black from the Pixies, “There is no point… the point is to experience it, to enjoy it, to be entertained by it.”
