Fans of magazines like Juxtapoz, Hi Fructose, and Blab, and artists like Mark Ryden, Renee French, and Olivia De Berardinis will definitely dig the eye candy at Downtown’s Alexi Era Gallery.
Local artist Aunia Kahn became a gallerist and opened the space late last year.

(The style has been variously called “pop surreal” and “new contemporary.”
