To those who have been reading the contemporary-art magazine Juxtapoz since it was founded in the mid-'90s, it may come as little surprise that some consider the rag to be part of a large but mostly unacknowledged art movement. A focus on surrealist, pop artists Mark Ryden, Camille Rose Garcia, and Tim Biskup (among many others) has led critics and historians alike to declare the existence of the "Juxtapoz aesthetic," which draws inspiration from comic books, movies, TV shows, sci-fi, horror, carnival art, black-velvet painting, and more. The Laguna Art Museum celebrates this movement with In the Land of Retinal Delights: The Juxtapoz Factor, curated by Meg Linton and featuring more than 150 artists, including Shepard Fairey, R. Crumb, and Takashi Murakami.
