Clayton Brothers: Inside Out is the first museum exhibition dedicated solely to the work of Rob and Christian Clayton. Featuring their paintings and mixed-media installations, the exhibition surveys the brothers’ edgy aesthetic inspired by California skateboard and surf culture, punk rock, folk art, cartoons and street art. They have been working together since 1996, constructing complex narratives that introduce memorable characters and comment wryly on contemporary life.

The exhibition opened in May and will run to September 4, 2011 at the Pasadena Museum of California Art.

This weekend, Shark Toof hits Culver City for his first major solo showing. “Nature Will Always Win” finds the artist refining his street-born style.
