Giger, Ashley Wood, St\u00e9phane Halleux, Viktor Koen, Christopher Conte, Gregory Brotherton, Mike Libby, Nemo Gould, and many others. Accompanying the book\u2019s release is an exhibition of these \u201cfantastic contraptions\u201d at the Device Gallery in La Jolla, California, running<!--more-->\u00a0from July 19\u00a0to September\u00a02. The exhibition, much like the book, will present a remarkable collection of artwork thematically exploring the relation of man and nature to machine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cFantastic Contraption is as much as an experience as it is an exhibition and sets the tone for the unique aesthetic of the Device Gallery says gallery co-owner Amy Brotherton.\u00a0 It\u2019s like being transported in time to Leonardi Da Vinci\u2019s workshop and while the work cannot easily be defined by a genre or medium, the sheer genius is undeniable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The tie binding this international ensemble of artists is a common interest in the \u201cfantastic.\u201d Mike Libby, for example, mixes \u201cscience fact with science fiction.\u201d\u00a0 His featured work customizes real insects with antique watch parts and electronic components, creating Kafka-esque creatures that come in many different colors, shapes and sizes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another artist\u2019s work on show is that\u00a0 of internationally acclaimed illustrator, concept designer and comic book artist Ashley Wood is also featured in Device, Volume 1. Ashley, who lives in Australia, has worked for most major publishing and entertainment companies and his illustrations have appeared in books, movies, magazines, comics, television and video games.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Greg Brotherton has constructed a \u201cMigraine Machine\u201d from wood and steel. He also builds giant robots, atomic weapons or so-called \u201cBrotron death rays,\u201d and designed much of Device, Volume 1. Like most of the other featured artists in the book, Brotherton has worked across many different media forms, and was formerly a commercial designer and illustrator for movies and comic books, before returning to pursue his own art fulltime, and opening La Jolla\u2019s Device Gallery with his partner Amy Brotherton earlier this year.
