The Dandy Gorilla comes to us from Alex Beeching, a British artist who deftly wrangles a variety of media in service to his craft.

The animal kingdom has been making a strong showing on 20x200 during these summer months. The avian extravaganza related to the gallery's Ornithology exhibition, coupled with my abiding fascination with the animals, has resulted in a population explosion of creatures great and small in our archives. I have an eye towards mixing things up a bit in the near future, but upon seeing Alex's submission, I couldn't resist the proposition of having such a dandy gorilla in our midst.

With my pun quota fulfilled, I'm going to make my way back to the surreal world that awaits me. I'll return tomorrow with tales to tell and this week's refreshing photography edition to share.

Meanwhile, I encourage you to check out the 20x200 blog where Ms. Kara Canal has been posting all kinds of great stuff. You'll find interviews with artists and collectors, as well as updates on our artists' many different projects and exhibitions. It's good stuff!
