ShockBoxx Gallery Founders Michael Collins and Laura Schuler

Our guests this morning are artists Michael Collins and Laura Schuler, Founders of ShockBoxx Gallery in Hermosa Beach.

Laura Schuler is a mixed media artist living and working in Los Angeles. Her style of art represents an expression of movement and energy that incorporates layers of acrylic paint intersecting with spray paint. 

Born in a shitty town in the central valley, Mike Collins was raised amongst dust and misery, themes still present in his work today. Although often hidden underneath sarcasm and girly angst, the reality of his battle with monocular hemi-retinal color blindness pushes through every tear, stitch and imperfection of his meticulous nature. Mike’s work is often described as, "terrible," "god awful," or, "The fucking worst shit I've ever seen." 

ShockBoxx was founded by Laura and Mike in the spring of 2017.  Their mission was to create a gallery that would serve to put Hermosa Beach on the map of the larger Los Angeles art scene, both as a location that would celebrate artists - not only from the South Bay, but from all over the world - and to attract patrons from throughout Los Angeles.

This morning, we’re going to discuss art, the mission of Shock Boxx Gallery, and the Cypress scene.
