Versus Gallery is showcasing one of Jacksonville's most well known artist,
Lee Harvey.
He is a internationally known graphic designer and artist infamous for his prophetic Vote Republican swastika design and his cutting edge fine art.
His imagery is more shocking than ever.
Lee is on the attack and he's taking names and kicking ass!
This show is not to be missed.
This is one of those moments where you get to see great art before it becomes out of reach.
Don't miss this show!

Thrilla In Manila A Versus Gallery Project
Taken from the Versus Gallery Facebook
The next Versus project is a open call project for anyone that likes to create. Every month we will be putting together a 50 plus manilla envelope style magazine. We are asking anyone that wants to participate to send in or drop off any number of small things you made that will fit in a 8.5" by 11" manilla envelope. (keeping in mind you will be sharing the envelope with others) you can make a button, a postcard, a print, a photograph, sticker, a poem anything you made by hand. The idea is to make something you can reproduce 50 of. We will have a deadline date and everything submitted by this date will be put in these envelopes and given away in a way not yet decided.
The idea:The idea is to get people to create something that is no bigger the a letter size sheet of paper. if can be anything as long as it can't be crushed. It must be handmade, stickers are acceptable. Everyone turns in these items contributing to a envelope style magazine with everyone contributions. Within these contributions will be articles, interviews or write up based on some of the contributors to help tie the magazine together. It is encouraged that you create something you find beautiful and encouraging to others. It will have no binding.
The benefits: This can be used a way to show people your talents. You get to show your work with people you might never have shown your work with but would like to. People will get a change to physically hold something you made and see how it interacts with their lives rather then just see it on a shelf or wall. If you ever wanted to help contribute to a art project/magazine you can.
How to be part: Create something. The ideal number is to create fifty of this something. You can create 50 unique items if you like, so each package is also one of a kind. If you can not create fifty create what you can. Send it in or drop it off before the set deadline and we will take care of the rest.
When: Thrilla In Manilla will be released (if everything goes as planned) every month for free. How it is released will be determined.

R. Land and Mark George @ The Versus Gallery
On Friday, October 1st, Versus Gallery will be hosting an art show featuring works by R. Land and Mark George.
A Jacksonville native now living in Atlanta, Georgia, Land is known for his post-pop, swampy cartoon creatures and print style paintings. Some of his most recognizable works are the characters Little Bunny Foo Foo and Loss Cat. Land’s artwork has also been included on the DVD covers of the Adult Swim show, Aqua Teen Hunger Force. It's obvious Land likes to have fun with his artistic creativity and everyone is open to his humoristic criticism. From Jiffy Feet to Yuppie Ghetto, Land is praised by the hip kids, the wealthy art collectors and everyone in between.
Mark George is nothing new to the Jacksonville art scene. He has been active in using his art for charitable fundraising, such as the St. Johns Riverkeeper, and for his friend, local artist and musician Brian Hicks’ battle with cancer. Mark has also shown his work nationally most recently in Seattle and has a show at this years Art Basil in Miami. Many people first notice that Mark’s artwork resembles pop artist Roy Liechtenstein, who is actually Mark’s favorite artist. Mark has created his own style though, by painting on clear corrugated fiberglass he found one day walking through Home Depot while looking for a new media. He actually paints on the backside to protect and give a printed illusion to his work so he has to paint everything in reverse.
Mark and Land are two of Jacksonville's most respected artists and it is a honor that Versus Gallery has a chance to show the two together in a great place like Riverside’s 5 Points. The show is on the 1st Friday of October from 5-9pm on the fourth floor of the 5 Points Theatre Building. This is the only day the works will be shown. Due to both artists’ birthdays being at the beginning of October, there will be an after party following at Birdies which is also located in 5 points.
