“Throughout the 1950s and ’60s, artist Burt Shonberg was well-known across Los Angeles for blending occult and esoteric elements, psychedelia, sci-fi, and motifs from Ancient Greek and Egyptian art. His murals adored cafes and clubs along the Sunset Strip, his paintings were featured in Roger Corman’s 1960 horror film House of Usher, and he created album art for bands including Love and Spirit. Momentary Blasts of Unexpected Light is the first LA solo show of work by Shonberg (who died in 1977) in 55 years, bringing renewed attention to his mind-expanding and hallucinatory vision.”
