For the record, here at 1xRUN & 323East we have taken the current opinion (or opinions) regarding the Mayan prediction for the end of the world on December 21st at face value, and like most end of the world doomsday theories, we're luckily all still here.

Appropriately enough, this “finale” will mark the final exhibition that the gallery will host at our Royal Oak before moving on to new digs in Detroit's historic Eastern Market district.

Artists Include: Sam Shamsedean, Himanshu Sharma, Matt Eaton, Ana Bagayan, Mark Sarmel, Ray Domzalski, April Segedi, Bask, John Dunivant, Audrey Pongracz, Ron Zakrin, Glenn Barr, Mark Heggie, Aunia Kahn, Brock Goodman, Kelsey Beckett, William Hanagan, Frank Zerelli, Brian Stuhr, Adrienne L'esperance, Julianna Frost, Jon Sandberg, Kobie Solomon, Mary Williams, Jesse Kassel, Craig Hejka, Amy Chenier, Michael Hanlon, Ed Foster, Julianna Counts, Julie Fournier, Tom Thewes & more...

This RUN comes signed by the artist along with an Original Artwork Letter of Provenance from 1xRUN.

"My work is inspired by the metaphysical- E.T.'s, spirits, ghosts, inter-dimensional space creatures, alternate realities, anything that hints at the idea that we are just a small part of the unimaginably vast universe. Some of my UFO and E.T. themed works are based on hypnosis sessions of people who believed they had been abducted by aliens and other accounts of mass UFO sightings from around the world. I’ve created human/alien hybrid creatures based on the experiences these people described. All of the works, I feel incorporate the inherent beauty of interpreting both the known and unknown.

I was born in Yerevan, Armenia and earned a BFA in Illustration from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. I currently live and work in Los Angeles, CA with my husband, two dogs, and fish named Masquerade." - Ana Bagayan
