Laurie Lipton is the artist in residence at GCAC, and while she's in Southern California (from the UK) she'll be working on her upcoming "Machine Punk" exhibition, which opens in La Luz de Jesus (Gallery I) on November 5th. The work on display in the museum, Weapons of Mass Delusion, is a collection of work spanning several collections.

Sharing the museum will be Christopher Ulrich, who showed last year at BSFA with his "Fourth Enochian Key" teaser show. The work on display at GCAC is his "Demoneater"series -in its entirety. This is the work chronicled in his deluxe, hardcover volume of the same name and is the first series of his trilogy masterwork. The second series, "Illuminator: The Royal Wedding," will be debuting on August 6th at La Luz de Jesus, and will occupy Galleries I & II.

Christopher Ulrich "Workshop"

Christopher Ulrich is a painter of surreal, iconographic images. He is influenced by the richness of ancient mythology, the mystery of alchemy, and the vastness of cosmic reality. Illuminating this dark journey with insight, heart and determination he strives to understand the unraveling revelation that reveals itself in the work. Christopher began his exhibition life with the first of three major experiments, The Demoneater Series, which has been published as a prestige edition, hardcover book. "Demoneater"consists of 15 "Keys" to 15 "Doors." These paintings all depict black, mirrored reflections of a single character. This alchemical allegory was first shown at the Bergamot Station on November the 2nd (Day of the Dead) 2007, exhibiting through January 2008. The series is being presented again at the Grand Central Art Center Museum at CSUF.

These works are puzzle pieces to a greater whole: a grand tapestry called The Christ Chronocrator Project. After creating new works for a monthly series of group showings, Christopher opened a new exhibition of large format paintings and small illustrations in conjunction with new works by Carrie Ann Baade and KS Rives at Billy Shire Fine Arts. "The Fourth Enochian Key" ran from June 14th through July 4th, 2009. Ulrich has since begun work on the second series of his alchemical masterwork entitled, "Illuminator: The Royal Wedding," which debuts at La Luz de Jesus Gallery on August 6, 2010.
