"CRAZY WORLD AIN’T IT: The Art of John Van Hamersveld” 

is a retrospective celebrating the six-decade career of one of America’s most influential graphic artists. Best known for his iconic 1964 "Endless Summer" poster, Van Hamersveld helped shape the visual language of surf culture, rock ’n’ roll, and American pop art. The exhibition features a wide-ranging selection of his work, including album covers, posters, drawings, paintings, prints, digital compositions, and photomurals of public works. Organized by Landau Traveling Exhibitions, this show offers an in-depth look at an artist whose bold colors, psychedelic forms, and innovative designs captured the spirit of multiple generations. Van Hamersveld’s prolific output includes more than 300 album covers for artists such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Jefferson Airplane, and The Beach Boys. Beyond music, he brought his visionary style to brand identities for companies like Fatburger and JIMMY’Z, as well as large-scale public art installations, including the globally viewed Fremont Street Experience in Las Vegas. His work is held in major institutions like MoMA and LACMA, and his cultural legacy continues to resonate—both through ongoing exhibitions and the widely viewed documentary about his life, Crazy World Ain’t It.

"A Man Named Charlie: Fender’s Unsung Hero"

, celebrates the life and legacy of Charlie Davis, a quiet force behind Fender’s golden era. Beginning his journey with the company in 1957, Charlie worked every step of the manufacturing line, from rough-cut wood to the final finish. But it was his unmatched skill in winding pickups that earned him legendary status. Revered by musicians and trusted by icons like Dick Dale, Charlie became the only technician many would allow near their prized guitars. His hands shaped the sound of surf rock and beyond, helping define a generation of music. Through decades of change, Charlie remained fiercely loyal to Fender, embodying the spirit of craftsmanship and dedication. This exhibit honors his remarkable contributions and finally gives this unsung hero his spotlight.

, through bold color, abstract form, and graffiti-inspired marks, CEZZART brings raw emotion and lived experience to the canvas. This vivid artistic diary captures CEZZARTT’s life from January 2025 to the present—each freshly painted work reflecting moments of triumph, struggle, and transformation.

From pieces born of personal injury to works like LA, Hope is Here—featured in LA Magazine to raise funds for wildfire relief—Current Events reveals the artist’s world in motion. His art spans protest, performance, and perseverance, using diverse materials and techniques to tell stories that words cannot.
