“Wild Thing” is the newest art show and charity auction by White Faux Taxidermy at PROJECT Gallery in Hollywood. This exciting show serves as a fundraising event for S.T.A.R.T Shelter Transport Animal Rescue Team, a Southern California non-profit that transports and spay/neuters animals from local kill shelters.

Home design company White Faux Taxidermy  creates resin faux-taxidermy pieces to help prevent animals from being killed for the purpose of decor. Their handcrafted pieces are a homage to wildlife, made without harming any of their subjects.

Wild Thing features 20 artists who start with a blank “canvas” of a faux-taxidermied resin head and handcraft original, one of a kind pieces to be sold at the auction. Included are  Allison Torneros who we recently profiled; street artist CANTSTOPGOODBOY; cat-centric Pop Surrealist rock star Anthony Ausgang;  Brandon Boyd whose career as an artist may overtake his as a musician;   Adam Wallacavage who work wowwed at Kustom Kulture II; Clam Lynch, Christopher Conn Askew, Nicolas Bowers, Marsha Perloff,  Dominique Nagel, Jeremy Kille, Lauren Virdone, Frank Infante, Kevin Lozano, Y, Holly Purcell, Elizabeth Conley and the Kenmore Elementary School/Kenmore, Washington.

The opening reception is on Saturday November 23, from 7 to 11 pm and the show runs until Dec. 8 during regular gallery hours.
