A polished, anniversary-era issue that mixes Juxtapoz heritage with a forward-looking lineup of painters, designers, photographers, and conceptual stylists. The structure is broad — reports, events, picture book, design, fashion, influences, major features, travel, reviews, profiles, product notes, Pop Life, and a final perspective — giving the whole magazine a curated, museum-scale feel.
Mark Ryden headlines with immaculate, candy-drenched surrealism, followed by a deep dive into Art Truancy, the 20-year Juxtapoz retrospective linking two decades of lowbrow, street, and pop-surrealist history. Seonna Hong brings soft, dreamlike landscapes; Dave Hughes delivers handmade, animated oddity; Agostino Arrivabene adds classical, occult-tinged oil painting; and Conrad Roset brings bright, fluid figurative work. Swoon anchors the influences section with her humanitarian, architectural paper installations, while Jeff Canham and Maiko Takeda represent the magazine’s design and fashion edge. Scott Listfield turns the profile section into a calm, dystopian astronaut odyssey. A refined, diverse, mid-2010s Juxtapoz — elegant, expansive, and perfect for RB shelves.
