After two years in the making, The Alien Painting at Oceanside Museum of Art is finally complete! Renowned artist Robert Xavier Burden returns to OMA for a special pop-up exhibition unveiling this monumental 12ft x 8ft artwork that first came to life during his live painting residency in 2023.

A One-Time Viewing of Two Epic Works

During his residency, Burden painted live at OMA four days a week, offering us a rare glimpse into his meticulous process. Now, The Alien Painting will be displayed alongside The Lagomorph Painting, a newly completed piece featuring nearly 100 depictions of rabbits, hares, and pikas.

This one-time exhibition is the only opportunity to see both paintings together before they move into private collections.
