LA Gallery Hosting Show For Ron English’s Surreal Art
We basically post exclusively about media that you can enjoy either in your home or in a theater. Rarely we’ll post about concert tours, movie festivals, or other assorted events that get you out of the house. But rarer still are the times when we tell you about fun events that are somewhat different from the usual fare. This is one of those times.
Kicking off this Saturday at the Corey Helford Gallery in downtown Los Angeles is a new art exhibit that feature the surreal work of Ron English. Dubbed “NeoNature: We Are the New They”, the 22-piece exhibit encompasses oil paintings, sculptures, and two installations and, “…a poignant, pensive, and poetic commentary on our world and introduce thought-provoking perspectives on iconic beasts such as “Poultry Rex Revolution,” a depiction of evolution’s sense of humor regarding the most-feared dinosaur in history.”
As mentioned above, the exhibit opens this Saturday and goes through January 9th, 2016. Below are a few examples of what you’ll see should you decide to attend.

We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
