Bruce Lurie Gallery is pleased to announce REVERIE, a compelling joint exhibition featuring the work of celebrated artists Jack Winthrop and Derek David Baron. The exhibition, running from Oct 5th to Nov 5th 2024, invites viewers into a realm where the boundaries between the real and the imagined dissolve, immersing them in a dreamlike exploration of memory, time, and self-reflection.

REVERIE explores the nuanced intersection between subconscious thought and artistic expression, with each artist bringing their unique voice and style to the exhibit. Through abstract compositions, bold color schemes, intricate textures, and layered forms, both artists deconstruct the flow of time, transforming fleeting moments into bold visual statements. Together, they create a dialogue that transports the viewer into a world of both calm reflection and energetic exploration. REVERIE gives form to the dreams and memories that shape us. It is an invitation to reconnect with the quiet moments we often overlook.

About the Artists:

Jack Winthrop, born in 1989, is originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota. He graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York City and spent a decade living and working there before relocating to Los Angeles, where he now resides.

Jack Winthrop primarily works with large-scale paintings on canvas, focusing on abstracting the human form to develop a unique visual language. His current work explores themes of the subconscious, dream states, and our perception of time's fluidity. He seeks to capture these concepts by navigating an eclectic range of styles and subjects. Captivated by the human condition, Winthrop translates and transforms it through his expressive brush strokes.

Derek David Baron, born in Kankakee, IL, studied at the Art Center in Pasadena, CA, and the Laguna College of Art and Design. He currently lives and works in Dallas, TX.

Baron’s paintings incorporate elements of surrealism, mark-making, text, collage, pop imagery, all drawn from his own thoughts, experiences. His palette, while relatively simple, is rich in layered depth and saturation, while seemingly innocuous collaged or drawn objects - particularly coffee cups - float in a field of largely negative space. “I aim to create a balance between color and form, usually with only three elements.  I start out making random marks and scribbles on the canvas just to “activate” it.  By pushing and pulling paint and imagery, I’ll often attach a memory to it somewhere in the process.” Regardless of the work’s perhaps more serious intent, there’s often an innocence or child-like sense of play in most of Baron’s paintings.

Bruce Lurie Gallery is pleased to announce Sonic Visions, an exhibition featuring the latest paintings from Mark Acetelli and George Mead. 

‍

Born in the vibrant city of Detroit, Mark Acetelli is a versatile artist whose early passion for art was ignited by his mother's fervor for painting. Growing up in an artistic household, he was immersed in a creative environment that nurtured his innate talents and encouraged him to explore various forms of artistic expression, including music, photography, and painting. A self-taught artist with an insatiable curiosity and a thirst for knowledge, Mark has cultivated a rich intellectual foundation that informs his unique visual language.

Mark's recent series, "Gathering Light," engages in a visual dialogue about overcoming obstacles and challenges, being resilient in the face of our vulnerabilities, and finding light in the darkness. This series embodies the spark of hope that refuses to burn out, reminding viewers that in the darkest of nights, the stars shine the brightest.

‍

George Mead grew up in the South, and studied in the East, North, and West —at places like The Museum School Of Fine Arts in Boston and at The California College Of Arts And Crafts in Oakland, under mentorships with notables like Robert Bechtle and Richard McLean — a process that made him a photorealist as much as a visual serialist—his way of recognizing the many faces of American reality, and the many contributors and aspects to its society and spirit. 

George Mead spent years in the entertainment industry, painting large-scale backdrops and other heroic representations of communal dreams, using the same techniques he employed later to augment and honor low-income communities and buildings on the West Coast and elsewhere with massive murals of everything from plants to musicians to humpback whales.

With the Art of the  LP Series, George is back to one of his original passions: contemporary music, the visual expression that completes it, and the history that surrounds it. Whereas modern genres like hip hop and electronica generate an increasingly polyglot and universal soundtrack to these times we live in and our accelerated existence, rock, jazz, and country music more than ever denote origin and identity, and a sense of history and place. In the cycle of renewal and rediscovery, and yes, recirculation, the album cover becomes a touchstone for moments, memories, and lives lived. It is the keepsake of our collective youth, a thin slice of energy that, in the right hands, will topple empires.

‍

Bruce Lurie Gallery is thrilled to announce the upcoming exhibition: “Carol Bennett: The Living is Easy, featuring Bob Moskowitz and Marjorie Moskowitz”. 

‍

After graduating from the Art Center College of Design, Carol Bennett launched her career in LA and ultimately found her voice in Hawaii. For some 20 years she split her time between her loft in Downtown LA and a beach bungalow in Hawaii - satisfying both a passion for culture and the ocean's pull.  Hawaii State Art Museum, Honolulu Museum of Art and other museums have robustly acquired her work for decades. Her most recent Public Art Commission: 20 stained glass monoliths, fabricated in Germany and each 2 stories tall, which grace the Honolulu Airport.

Carol states that this Women in Water series comes from a personal place. “I swim 7 days a week and while not self-portraits, I'm often the swimmer in my paintings. I throw myself into the water almost every day - it grounds me.  I'm not an athlete. This is a spiritual practice that is integral to my art making. What is unique about my swimmers in particular is their strong sense of self and place. They patrol the water's edge and the ocean floor, in search of elements to recycle as art. The swimmers are my navigation tool: they have led me to explore fishing nets and knots, abstracts fish patterns, flotsam and jetsam and their ecological impact. Many pieces in this exhibit give nod to the preciousness and fragility of our environment by repurposing cardboard and plywood that would typically be cast aside”.

Water is always present yet moving and changing, first it's a mirror and then a window.  In an early review of her work, Marcia Morris wrote that "the body floats and the mind drifts."  This fertile moment of disassociation is what Carol dwells on in her studio. “I'm a wet reporter, bringing back news from the ocean, both timeless and timely”. 

‍

Originally from St. Louis, Missouri, and a graduate of Washington University with an M.F.A. in Painting, Marjorie Moskowitz is a landscape painter living in and maintaining her studio in southern California since 1998. Examining mark making and the nuances of color and light in nature have been her lifelong pursuit. Earlier work focused on large scale mixed media wall sculpture.

Her current oil paintings of colorful, engaging but otherwise overlooked and isolated flora are magnified to reveal their importance. Subject matter is discovered from remote to obvious locations across the country. Coming from an orientation in abstraction, her choice to work in a close-focus realistic style remains ever mindful of the abstraction that exists in nature.

Marjorie Moskowitz has exhibited nationally and internationally and has been represented by galleries in the Midwest, East and West Coasts.

‍

Bob Moskowitz grew up in Philadelphia and graduated from The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and Washington University. He moved to Southern California in 1998 and maintains his studio there. He has exhibited nationally and has done over 200 commissioned portraits. His work has always been figurative and has changed stylistically over the years.

His current work focuses on the power in the mundane, attempting to record moments of human significance in the commonplace. The work suggests aspects of the human condition in context with the subject’s culture which can be revealed through observation and a peeling back of the layers. Although the subjects mask their emotions and feelings, close observation begins to reveal the specifics of content and meaning. The viewer is a participant in the unmasking of the innermost and universal motivations of people who would otherwise be unobserved and ignored.

‍

Marjorie and Bob Moskowitz created a new persona, when they began collaborating, separate from their individual studio practices. These works are a curious hybrid only slightly resembling their own work. The process attempts to create a seamless blending to appear as a single artist has produced the painting. They draw on their shared approach to looking at the peculiar nature of people and the world. Their sense of irony and humor is a vehicle to allude to a deeper meaning below the surface.

Bruce Lurie Gallery is pleased to announce Days Like These, an exhibition featuring the latest paintings from Justin Lyons and Terry Urban. Each work reflects the zeitgeist of our rapidly evolving world and offers a glimpse into the artist's inner world.

Justin Lyons is a self-taught artist from the Florida panhandle. His inspirations are most often triggered by a word, phrase or thought, which in association with the other elements within the work, intend to try and tell a story without giving away too much, letting the viewer interpret his own connection to the piece. Lyons aims to create art that’s approachable to everyone and the human element within.

Terry Urban was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and grew up in a family of Irish American heritage and under the guidance of his Cherokee stepfather. A town known for its resilience and hardworking spirit greatly influenced his art, which often reflects themes of determination, perseverance, and struggle. Urban’s paintings explore the subject of the human conditions, often depicting dark imagery that reveals the complexities of the human psyche.

(Los Angeles) – Bruce Lurie Gallery announces an exhibition of new work by celebrated artist Guy Stanley Philoche. Known for his colour field painting style that combines a distressed vintage subject matter as a focal point, Give Us Our Flowers is a homage to the perseverance of the human spirit. Philoche brings forth a universal message of the great healing powers of compassion and joy. While his subject matter is shaped by his own narrative through the lens of the black experience, the work ascends all social constructs to engage and invite the viewer to realign themselves with their inner consciousness. Each artwork becomes a poignant reminder of what it is meant to participate in the present and to consciously raise the vibration of others through dignity, self love and acts of kindness.

Known for both his vibrant work honoring the human condition and his extensive philanthropy, Philoche's work can be found in both the public and private collections of institutions and collectors such as George Clooney, Uma Thurman, Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank, BarclayInvestments and Google among others.

Art Mobb is a creative coalition of artists committed to serving the community with art. Born out of a passion, respect, and admiration for sports athletes and celebrities that make a difference.

"Hamilton Aguiar and Daniel Brice: Abstract Unveiled" Showcases the Beauty of Less and a World of Subtle Complexity

Los Angeles, CA – Bruce Lurie Gallery is thrilled to present "Hamilton Aguiar and Daniel Brice: Abstract Unveiled", a captivating showcase of minimalistic abstract art that explores the elegance of simplicity, form, and the power of reduction. This exhibition celebrates the essence of abstract art, which centers on the idea that "less is more". Hamilton Aguiar and Daniel Brice have masterfully distilled their visions, emphasizing the purity and essential elements. The works invite viewers to experience a profound sense of calm, contemplation, and a deeper connection to the art.

The pictorial work of Hamilton Aguiar (Brazil, 1965) had its initial inspiration in the world of mural and interior design. That world where paintings, the spatial fit of objects and the handling of lights are essential to activate our senses and sensibility. A world, in which the private interiority and the home kingdom are harmonized to keep the tensions and shocks of the outside life at bay. It was in this context of applied arts where he developed a refined management of different techniques and materials of the pictorial craft. An experience that had its field of action in New York at the end of the 80s, the city where he settled residence in 1987.

In 2004 Aguiar made the leap to the contemporary art scene with a painting whose fundamental characteristic, from the poetic point of view, is the use of neo-figurative language. A sensualistic neo- figuration of retinal inspiration deployed in flat colors, that exploits the scales and chromatic gradations of intense colors. Paintings where the background-figure-relation is gradually interwoven until merging into atmospheres and environments that transmit a great stillness. The look feels attracted by the explosion of light and color.

California based artist Daniel Brice's mixed media canvases and works on paper are a study in the use of line and color to convey, through simple gestural movements, a complex world of ideas. His most recent body of work are oil on paper geometric abstractions about the interplay of color and line used effectively to convey a sense of balance and imbalance. Where lines or colors converge, as they sometimes do, they become blurred as though disturbed by a momentary convergence. Ending abruptly when they intersect with either the hard-edge of a rectangular plane within the work or by the outer edge of the work itself, the lines require us to complete them or connect them, to see beyond what is there to what is not there.

‍

Gershon Kreimer (U.S.A., b. Lima, Peru) lives and works in Los Angeles. He graduated from New York University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Film. After a brief period in New York City as a lighting technician; he shifted towards production in independent film, television, and live network news broadcasting.

In 2012 Gershon changed course to fully pursue photography as his primary medium. His interest however, is not the photographic language, but the distortion and eventual elimination of photography from the photograph. Each of his several series explores a different type of manipulation, making anatomy whether whole, fragmented, distorted, or modified; its primary language. The body becomes an authentic representation of text, through a provoked and voluntary process of irrationality performed by the subject.

His work. “Grace 2” was included in the offering of “Boys, Boys, Boys” in London; alongside works by Andy Warhol and Wolfgang Tillmans.

‍Bruce Lurie Gallery Presents Ethereal Skin: A Show of Jeff Robb's stunning 3D Lenticular Artworks

LOS ANGELES, CA – Bruce Lurie Gallery is thrilled to announce the upcoming exhibition Ethereal Skin featuring the captivating 3D lenticular artworks of renowned artist Jeff Robb. The show will run from September 15th (opening reception 6-9pm) to Oct 28th, and offer visitors an entrancing journey into the realm of three-dimensional imaging and innovative artistic exploration.

Since his graduation from the Royal College of Art with a Masters degree in Fine Art Holography, Jeff Robb has continued to push the boundaries of artistic expression. Notably, his groundbreaking landscape piece was the first-ever hologram artwork to be included in the V&A museum's permanent collection. Robb's artistry has garnered recognition worldwide, earning him a place in prestigious museums and private collections.

At the heart of Jeff Robb's artistic vision are his lenticular photographic works that focus on the female nude and abstract forms in space. These thought-provoking series of artworks are characterized by their remarkable depth and dimensionality, achieved through cutting-edge lenticular technology. Robb's exploration doesn't stop at photography; he has also ventured into creating bronze sculptures, combining modern modeling techniques with traditional casting methods, pushing the boundaries of artistic expression.

While continuing his exploration of the nude and abstraction in lenticular art, Robb has embarked on projects that delve into sound experiences and large-scale kinetic installations. These ventures underscore Robb's relentless drive to experiment and challenge the limits of the lenticular medium and 3D imaging technology. As a pioneer in the field, Robb's explorations into experimental lenticular installations have paved the way for uncharted artistic territory.

Jeff Robb's artistic versatility shines through his mastery of various media, including lenticular photography, painting, bronze and stainless-steel sculpture, holography, film, and installations combining light and sound. His galleries offer a glimpse into the mesmerizing world of lenticular photography, creating an immersive experience that defies traditional boundaries and captivates the audience's imagination.

Robb's artistic journey is guided by a desire to transport viewers into a liminal state – a realm of temporary disorientation and in-between-ness. The lenticular medium's unique ability to blend 2D prints with 3D illusory properties perfectly encapsulates this state, suspending the audience's perception of reality. In an increasingly spiritually void world, Robb's work strives to infuse a sense of magic and inspiration, inviting viewers to explore this transcendent experience.

"Ethereal Skin" will showcase Jeff Robb's profound exploration of lenticular art, inviting audiences to immerse themselves in a world where boundaries are blurred, and reality is redefined. The exhibition will run from September 15th at Bruce Lurie Gallery, located at 873 Via De La Paz, Pacific Palisades, CA 90272. For those seeking an unforgettable artistic experience, "Ethereal Skin" promises to be an unmissable event.

David Buckingham, "Water into Wine"

Michael Kalish, “Scene in LA”

January 14 - February 25, 2023

‍

Opening reception:

Jan 14th (Sat), 6-9 pm

David Buckingham roams the windblown alleys, abandoned factories, gritty industrial arts, dodgy neighborhoods, and low deserts of Southern California in search of the cast away, the discarded, the forgotten: old 55-gallon barrels, wheelbarrows, tool boxes, road signs, tractor parts, car doors, gas cans, etc. These battered relics are carted to a dusty studio in downtown Los Angeles where they are muscled into works of art with a bewildering array of power tools and sheer force of will. All colors are original as found; David Buckingham is no painter.

"The thought of bringing my work, made from colorful scrap metal sourced from deep in the rough and tumble California desert and muscled into works of art in a gritty DTLA sculpture studio, into the gilded halls of Bruce Lurie’s resplendent Pacific Palisades gallery is an irony almost too sweet to contemplate. The juxtaposition of the desert and the Palisades is a dream come true and I cannot imagine a more suitable environment for my wall sculptures. “POW!”, “Freeway Dollar Sign” and “Funky Music” are explorations of my lifelong interest in pop culture, from comic book art to Andy Warhol to song lyrics. Showing with my artistic brother-from-another-mother (and sometime co-conspirator) Michael Kalish is just the icing on the cake. Kalish’s mesmerizing laser-cut pop acrylic sculptures are the perfect complement to my brash battered-metal pieces. I will be the Levi to his Strauss! The Smith to his Wesson! The Simon to his Garfunkle! The nitro to his glycerin! I very much look forward to seeing you all in January."

— David Buckingham

‍

When Michael Kalish combined pop culture and Americana with the object of his fascination, the heretofore "lowly license plate" was elevated from the junkyard to the museum, from garages and highways to the living room wall. In the process, he became the artists responsible for creating a new genre, winning international acclaim, and setting his expectations-defying career into motion.

Out of the utilitarian and overlooked, Kalish fashions works of steely confidence, proudly displaying their wear, patina and rust as a tribute to that which endures. His license plate works include homages to America itself and to many of its most recognizable faces, capturing the likenesses of Marilyn, Elvis. The Beatles, and Mickey Mouse, all with a wink to pop masters such as Warhol and Lichtenstein. His roses, both framed and freestanding, are made from automobile parts; their surprising voluptuousness led to solo exhibitions in Museums and Galleries in Stockholm, Geneva and New York. His giant abstracts, comprised of recycled classic car parts from the 50's and 60's, triumphantly declare their resurrections. His three-dimensional editions, constructed of high-gloss metal layers, playfully interact with viewers, affording unique experiences depending upon their vantage points.

Monumental outdoor installations by Kalish include: the historic Muhammad Ali tribute — “reALIze" — wherein 1300 punching bags suspended 22-feet high conspire to form a three-dimensional rendering of the heavyweight champion's famous face, a series of two dozen towering pinwheels engineered on behalf of COPD awareness — exhibited at the Tampa Museum of Art, as well as The Perrier-Jouet Monument and "Raise The Caliber, a monumental public work made of reclaimed guns designed as a statement against violence, which is currently traveling the US.

Embraced by critics, dealers, and an impressive list of contemporary art collectors, Michael Kalish's original roses, abstracts and limited edition dimensional works, as well as his legendary license plate sculptures, are featured in the collections of world leaders, fortune 100 companies, past Presidents, professional athletes and musicians. His unique position as a preeminent arbiter of style and taste has led to features in People Magazine. The Wall Street Journal, NY Times, Details, Wired, ArtNews and the feature of stories on CBS Sunday Morning, CNN, E! MSN, TLC, and most recently the host of Discovery Channel's "Final Offer"

"Kalish's works are not just masterful but hopeful, being surrounded by them make feel that the best days are yet to come." -Reid Busk. Art Critic

“I could not imagine a better location than the Pacific Palisades to show this new collection inspired by and created in LA. California “LOVE “, “Beach Scenes “ and “Poppy’s” are just a few of the new layered acrylic wall sculptures I look forward to unveiling. Showing this collection along side my LA brother, David Buckingham is the icing on the cake. Our work has always seemed to be paired well together; from our group shows together over the years with The Frostig Collection to our exhibition at The Oceanside Museum of Art. Buckingham’s elegant reclaimed rusted metal sculptures feel right positioned next to these new playful acrylic pop sculptures.”

Texts and Messages, opening May 14th, features the cutting-edge works of Daniel Allen Cohen, Richard Lynch, and the collective, Orange Juice.

Focusing on the global consumption of information and technology, as well as the power of words as cultural definers, each artist’s unique approach combines visual art with the art of language.

Daniel Allen Cohen

Cohen’s work is purely text and letter based, riven with wit, irony, and purpose. He has three bodies of work in the exhibition, wall art from his Periodic Table of Drugs, a part of his series This is Addictive; digital sculptures from his Prescriptions series; and stunning, vivid works of NFT art from his Feeny’s Photos collection.

He describes his art process as that of a communicator and believes the power of text is that it requires the viewer to “go a little deeper, digest what they are seeing, and take in the humor.”

The self-taught artist approaches each series with a different, persuasive purpose. The Periodic Table of Drugs, ranging from Fa (Fashion) and Mo (Money) to Ad (Adderall) features, according to the artist “ingredients and side effects that are matter-of-fact but cheeky, honing-in on the truths about some of these addictive things, exposing them.” The larger-than-life digital sculpture in Prescriptions includes “‘Cream,’ which serves as an acronym for ‘Cash Rules Everything Around Me,’ a song from hip hop group the Wu-Tang Clan,” and “Happiness,” stating “It’s a journey and not a destination.”

From Cohen’s Feeny’s Photo series, based on the nostalgic traditions of photography in his grandparents’ 90s-era photo lab, the artist brings an NFT-work. Framed in an over-size Kodachrome transparency slide frame, are a series of five videos, providing an immersion into color. Each represents a unique NFT, and includes music themed to the chromatic visual experience.

Richard Lynch

Lynch combines vivid visual imaging with typography in his images, using singular, one-line messaging positioned across the center of his pieces. These open-ended words are not puzzles, he attests, but rather “an esoteric curious element.” With a background in creating movie posters and typography, it was natural for Lynch to incorporate what was once his day job into his fine art.

His three, 6’ by 4’ works on Masonite with floating frames, feature cloudscapes and white sands as visuals. Created in lush acrylics, with layered transparencies and opacities, the large-scale works are accompanied by smaller limited edition prints of these three paintings, as well as a print of his by-now-iconic image of the Hollywood sign, nearly eclipsed by the thick smoke of a brush fire, “Not All Dreams.”

Lynch explains that through his work he enjoys “creating a mood, a thought that isn’t solely visual, but one that makes you process what the idea behind it may be. Without the type element they would just be nice paintings, but I am adding words that make the whole greater than just the sum of its parts. Words and image together create a different vibe.”

Orange Juice

The four-person Orange Juice collective works as one, creating work that is “loosely tech related.” Texts as a modern form of communication through technology, social culture, and pop culture, are subjects used in their work.

The collective’s three works in this exhibition are digital, printed on metallic paper and pressed to Lucite. Whether providing digital image search depictions of “How to Be a Rock God” or the “Definition of Cool,” these collages of digital analytics form a narrative. Their compiled chosen images create what the group calls “concept art…the purest source of pop art, collecting what is already there, coloring in your memories.”

Together, all three artists offer both compelling images and the depth of words, in an exhibition meant to be seen, read, and explored.

Based in Los Angeles, artist Michael Gorman is presenting a new series, Tour de Force, opening March 5th. Gorman uses vibrant colors and iconic images to create riveting works that fuse unexpected, abstract elements with masterful and unusual forms.

Filled with a sense of motion, exuding a whirling energy, these images use fresh and contrasting layered colors in paintings ripe with gestural qualities. The artist describes his work as a “voyeuristic” experience, in which the viewer peers at the canvas as if through a window, allowing a unique and personal view of recognizable subjects.

Thematically, Gorman offers ballerinas and gunslinger cowboys as long-standing images in many paintings and drawings. Also, a recurring subject is the Statue of Liberty, with paintings such as “Liberty (USA),” seen above, depicting an opaque rich blue Statue of Liberty with multi-colored, firework-like colors spreading behind her, a chain dangling evocatively to the right of her figure. A new subject for the artist, strippers on poles, allows Gorman to riff on the Google search engine, dropping the “G” to create new images he calls “Oogle.”

Often using text elements, including words in English and French, Gorman tells elliptical narratives that throb with intense energy, as he puts it “the moment when you crack a whip, just before it pops.”

Relentlessly determined to create images original enough to grab and hold viewers’ attention, his compelling works are intimate and absorbing, creating a relationship that viewers will want to engage with again and again. All are bold in color and shape.

In “Gunslinger,” a cowboy rides an inky black horse with legs elongated as if they were stilts. The image conveys both shadows and power, eliciting the feeling that cowboy may have when astride. Gorman adds text references to the traditional song “Home on the Range,” as well as an obscure set of numbered initials to this work.

Similarly elongated, and reminiscent of the work of Alberto Giacometti, “Gunslinger (blue bull),” gives us a long-legged cowboy standing above a blue bull, French words referencing the bull, including his color, bleu. The ballerina in “Ballerina (purely),” is an ivory-white figure pirouetting gracefully on achingly long legs. Her figure is dream-like against a dark, nearly black background, with brilliant flowers springing from it, ballerina and flowers seemingly sprung together from the earth.

Most works in this new exhibition are large-in-scale, ranging from 72 x 60 to a more diminutive 6 x 48. Working primarily in mixed media, Gorman often combines bright, electric colors with earth tones and more muted shades; he uses foil, alcohol-based paints, resin, and a variety of almost alchemic techniques.

Introducing new elements and new approaches to the classic subjects that intrigue him, Gorman recreates a world we think we understand – and invites us to take a new, deeper, dreamier, and unconventional view, combining disparate elements in both subject and material. His latest works offer a powerful message of emotion in motion, purpose through voyeuristic dreamscape.

The Premier Art Fair in the Southwest During the Height of the Season

Art Palm Springs is the premier art fair in the Southwest presenting post-war and contemporary art.

The Fair is strategically scheduled over the extended President’s Day Weekend coinciding with Palm Springs Modernism Week at the height of the Coachella Valley’s season.

An Art Oasis in the Desert

Once the playground of movies, captains of industry and world leaders, the region has evolved into a respected art oasis in the Southern California desert with a vibrant cultural scene devoted to the visual arts. It is home to an expanding major arts museum (5,000 member The Palm Springs Art Museum- our opening night beneficiary), a vibrant art gallery scene (with 20 + galleries) and a remarkably strong base of highly savvy art patrons and collectors.

This re-engagement with artists and their workspaces allows the viewer a firsthand view of the creative process. This exhibition is dedicated to the loving memory of former California African American Museum Curator Vida L. Brown.

The Sculpture Objects Functional Art and Design (SOFA) Fair in Chicago is the premier gallery-presented art fair dedicated to three-dimensional art and design. On par with Art Basel and TEFAF Maastricht, SOFA is produced by Clarion Events.

Critically acclaimed and continuously running since 1993, what distinguishes SOFA from other top art events is its focus on three-dimensional artworks that cross the boundaries of fine art, decorative art and design. SOFA is noted for its exceptional presentation, with an elite selection of international dealers presenting for sale one-of-a-kind masterworks in handsome, custom-designed gallery exhibits.

SOFA is held annually in the fall at Chicago's major destination, Navy Pier, with an average of 80 dealers and 35,000 people attending. Sales at the fair are estimated at 15-20 million dollars per show.

With a strong educational emphasis, SOFA CHICAGO includes an acclaimed lecture series and special exhibits exploring the artworks on view and surveying new trends in the art world. A VIP program includes exclusive events tailored to high-profile gallery clients and collector/museum groups.

SOFA has evolved into a dynamic international marketplace and community – a confluence of perspectives where art, design and people intersect.

Todd Gray has been a professional artist, based in Los Angeles, for over thirty years. During this time, Gray has had a vision of creating a deep and meaningful artistic language that is both uplifting and positive. Gray’s work is serious and smart, while at the same time able to convey a sense of humanity and accessibility. Gray was born in the same year that pop art, as fine art, came into the spotlight of the world. The bold colors and clean lines, on simple geometric forms in Gray’s work are influenced by his never-ending love for Pop Art. As he puts it, “I cannot escape my love for Pop Art. I never could. It’s part of my DNA.”

Through sampling the greats, such as Warhol, Lichtenstein, and Indiana, Gray’s work has a timeless and important relevance by putting the work into a historical perspective. Gray uses abbreviated and sampled classic images of pop from the past and combines them into new, relevant and recognizable contemporary pop art. These classic pop images of the late fifties and sixties were brought into the true fine art realm and Gray is continuing the tradition by intermixing them into his own recognizable visual language. Cartoons, superheroes, hashtags, social media, emojis, and various significant images that embody modern-day culture are embraced and culminates into an art that appeals to people of all races, classes and nationalities. Gray’s work over the decades has created a unique visual language that is smart, beautifully dynamic, and in a visual medium that has a universal appeal.

Gray’s love for music is also inspiration for his work. This can be seen in his Beatles inspired series of work. This series of work brings iconic Beatles imagery and lyrics together and delivers a similar feeling one gets by listening to their positive and upbeat music. Much of Gray’s inspiration is garnered from music as most his time creating art is done with music as a backdrop. Art and music, the two are interchangeable. So, it comes as no surprise that music metaphors are indelibly intertwined with his artistic definitions. When conceptualizing new pieces, Gray’s goal is to create art that is somehow meaningful, profound, and significant. He believes that art should say something “like the lyrics in a song.” Gray aims to represent his art in a similar manner as the great music of some of his favorites like Bob Marley, John Lennon, or Bob Dylan, all of whom mixed profoundly moving lyrics with incredible melody.

Last year Gray was given the great honor of being chosen to create a mural at the site of the World Trade Center. If there was ever a singular dot of geography in need of healing, it would be this postage stamp sized spot on the map. Gray and his team painted this enormous mural under the beautiful umbrella wingspan of the Oculus, within a hundred feet of the 9/11 museum and memorial. The mural is painted directly under the stoic guard of Freedom Tower 1. It was painted over the span of thirty-four days in front of tens of thousands of daily passersby. Since the mural was completed, Gray has been sent thousands of images of people from all over the world, each and every day, jumping in front of it, laughing and smiling and dancing and posing in front of the mural. His work has helped to transform a once stodgy and grey, very in need of love and healing, environment into a place of color and rebirth. This is the power of Gray’s art.

Solo Exhibitions of Todd Gray have been presented at the Riverside Museum of Art, Riverside CA (2019); Aspen Art Gallery, Aspen, CO (2019); Butler Museum of American Art, Youngstown, OH (2018); The Goddard Museum, Ardmore, OK (2017); Skidmore Contemporary Art Gallery, Santa Monica, CA (2015); to name a few.

Gray’s work has also been included in group exhibitions such as the Affordable Art Fair-NYC (2019); Art Market Hamptons, Hamptons, NY (2019); Art Aspen, Aspen, CO (2019); HL Fine Art, Seoul, Korea (2019); Eden Fine Art Galleries in various locations (2016-2019). Gray’s work will also be present through Bruce Lurie Galleries at upcoming CONTEXT Art Miami, Miami FL (2019); SOFA CHICAGO, Chicago, IL (2019); Texas Contemporary, Houston, TX (2019).

Emerging from a traditional painting background, Geoffrey Gersten is a whimsical painter driven by classical beauty. Dropping out of an early career as a CAD designer, he fell into pursuit of a deep, intrinsic calling to create something meaningful. Self-taught since 2010, he settled into oil painting and an impassioned study of art history. These perennial inspirations coupled with a modernized palette have shaped a unique approach to forming a link between subculture art styles and the finer world of classical art history and exceptional technique.

Gem-like glazed surfaces belie the artist’s intent to convey the nuanced complexities of the human soul in context to the modern world around us and beauty of our natural earth which we are privileged to enjoy. Enriched by the delicacy of flora and fauna, a tableau of characters, pop-culture motifs alongside wide-eyed animals and robots inhabit their own tranquil universe. Geoffrey’s paintings relay a sense of mystery, while allowing a reflective viewer to identify their own heart, invoking ephemeral emotions that we experience universally.

Geoffrey Gersten is an internationally represented artist. In addition to opening Gersten Fine Art in his home of Scottsdale, Arizona, his work is also seen in galleries and exhibitions spanning the US with solo exhibitions in Taiwan and Madrid.

Ralph Lazar contemporaneously documents world politics as we live it day-to-day, focusing on the Trump era. Through his unique process of advance-creating thousands of small paintings, and then compositing them into collages as events unfold, Lazar manages to capture the political landscape in real-time.

Music, people, travel and the simple beauty of the everyday also seep into his art, forming a refreshingly original, idiosyncratic and compelling narrative of our times.

Ralph Lazar was born in South Africa and is currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The Most Comprehensive International Contemporary Art Show in America

Los Angeles has emerged as a global epicenter of art & culture, with a distinct, interwoven multi-cultural influence unique to the city. Diversity is our strength and art is most impactful when it includes or transcends all borders. As LA rises as the world-class destination for art, LA Art Show continues to lead the way with innovative programming and one-of-a-kind experiences for an expanding collecting audience.

More than 200,000 square feet of exhibition space is committed to today’s prominent galleries. These domestic and international galleries, beyond their booths, curate special exhibits that are at the forefront of the burgeoning contemporary art movement. The fair offers an extraordinary array of works and experiences in specialized sections.

Opening Reception: Saturday, Feb 9, 2019 | 6 - 9 pm

Exhibition Date: Feb 9 - Feb 28, 2019

LOS ANGELES (February 1, 2019) - To commemorate the one-year anniversary of the seventeen students who were murdered at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Feb 14 in Parkland, Florida, 15 black and white portraits of the victim’s classmates and a large screen video installation with testimonials created by Jeff Vespa originally featured in People Magazine and Buzz Feed will accompany Los Angeles artist Mel Greet’s “The Truth of Consequences” sculptures created in the aftermath of the deadliest school shooting in United States history.

Mel Greet and The Bruce Lurie Gallery will be donating part of the proceeds of “Going Shopping” and “New Math” to the Brady Campaign.

As a partner, TOMS will have iPads available for attendees to sign up to send postcards from TOMS.com as part of their End Gun Violence Together initiative.  Each postcard urges your Members of Congress to take immediate action by passing legislation for universal background checks, which over 90% of Americans support.  TOMS is currently driving across the country to deliver 700k+ postcards to Congress in Washington D.C., and collect the stories and voices of Americans affected by gun violence along the way.  The tour will culminate with a volunteer-led postcard distribution to Representatives in Congress inside the Capitol building on February 12.  

It’s our hope that with the combined presentation of sculpture, photography, video, and community engagement, our elected officials will finally realize what most Americans want… sensible gun legislation.

The Truth of Consequences runs February 9 through 28 at Bruce Lurie Gallery in Los Angeles.

ABOUT MEL GREET

Born and raised in Hollywood, Greet’s show biz experience as a child actor and film studio marketing executive informs his work, allowing it to both entertain and educate through vibrant, powerful imagery.  After receiving a BFA from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, Greet pursued a successful advertising career in New York, then returned to Los Angeles, working in the entertainment industry as a creative director for Twentieth Century Fox and Universal Studio. He relates that these experiences made him bracingly aware of how imagery can impact society, shape communication, and have a profound effect on viewers.

Greet's past exhibitions include, LA Climate Change Concert, Whiskey A Go Go (2015); Sofa Expo, Chicago (2018), LACDA: Snap to Grid Exhibit (2018), Art Miami Basel (2018) and The LA Art Show (2019).

A master of Post-Painterly Abstraction, Gary Komarin has been at the forefront of contemporary art with a bold and colorful style recognized by art collectors worldwide, and applauded by museum curators and art critics alike. Post-painterly abstraction is a style that favors openness, risk taking, and clarity, as opposed to the dense painterly surfaces that are apparent in abstract expressionism. However, the definition of post painterly abstraction is limited in conveying the very wide range of activities that its artists pursue.

Born in New York City, the son of a Czech architect and Viennese writer, Gary Komarin is a risk taker in contemporary painterly abstraction. Komarin’s stalwart images have an epic quality that grip the viewer with the idea that he or she is looking at a contemporary description of something timeless. For painter Gary Komarin, abstraction has never been a formal dead end. Rather, it has allowed him to challenge the limitations of the style–to make painting ‘include more’ precisely because a recognizable image excludes too much. Komarin has been called a “painter’s painter.” His status in this regard is based on the authenticity of his work, its deep connection to the tradition of modern painting as well as its sustained individuality as an utterly personal voice.

In Daniel Brice's abstract paintings and prints, he explores both the physicality and the intellectual and emotional resonance of color. Based in sun-drenched Southern California, he translates the multihued blues of the bright Pacific Ocean and the lush reds, yellows, oranges, and greens of the local flora into the richly colored lines and rectangles that dominate his compositions. The surfaces of his paintings range from diaphanous to thickly worked and often stretch across multiple panels, lending an almost sculptural quality to his works. Brice works in layers, overlapping variously sized rectangular planes of color to create a constantly shifting visual field.

The Sculpture Objects Functional Art and Design (SOFA) Fair in Chicago is the premier gallery-presented art fair dedicated to three-dimensional art and design. On par with Art Basel and TEFAF Maastricht.

Critically acclaimed and continuously running since 1994, what distinguishes SOFA from other top art events is its focus on three-dimensional artworks that cross the boundaries of fine art, decorative art and design. SOFA is noted for its exceptional presentation, with an elite selection of international dealers presenting for sale one-of-a-kind masterworks in handsome, custom-designed gallery exhibits.

SOFA is held annually in the fall at Chicago's major destination, Navy Pier, with an average of 80 dealers and 35,000 people attending. Sales at the fair are estimated at 15-20 million dollars per show.

With a strong educational emphasis, SOFA CHICAGO includes an acclaimed lecture series and special exhibits exploring the artworks on view and surveying new trends in the art world. A VIP program includes exclusive events tailored to high-profile gallery clients and collector/museum groups.

SOFA has evolved into a dynamic international marketplace and community – a confluence of perspectives where art, design and people intersect.

Lorenzo Marini is an Italian artist who lives and works in Milan, Italy and in Los Angeles and New York.

After working for twenty years in total silence and secrecy, defending his works from the clamor of advertising, he decided to share his artistic mission with the world.

Although Marini attended the Accademia di Belle Arte in Venice with Emilio Vedova, his degree is in architecture and he has worked successfully in advertising for 30 years. In advertising, Marini uses creativity, color, provocation and impact, while in art he uses white, silence, and the elegance of secrecy. The concept of space and the search for the ideal visual become the paradigm of his painting, which begins from the desire to desemanticize the consumer object and its advertising message, stripping a concept down to a simple grid in which the act of commodification is canceled out by the beauty and composition of the elements. In this process of semantic delocalization, Marini works in layers, dividing the canvas up into portions and subtracting the original message from each portion, allowing its structure, or reticule, to emerge.

Even color vanishes, leaving white – or silence on canvas – as the undisputed protagonist. The result has great impact: near-monochromatic grids with strong material components, in a subtle balance between the abstract and the rationalist.

In 2016, Marini had an artistic inspiration that led him to celebrate the beauty of letters.

In 2017, following the success of this adventure, Marini created his manifesto for the liberation of Type, in so doing becoming the founder of a new art form: that of dedicating an artwork to each individual letter of the alphabet, freeing letters from the obligation of function, to celebrate their pure intrinsic beauty.

Marini’s pictures can be read as the translation of advertising campaigns to contemporary art, with a rigorous logic of spaces and of equilibriums, in his first search in Visuals. Just as they can be read as a revolutionary thought on the Pop-beauty of the contemporary alphabet, in this second artistic phase.

By the end of 2018, Lorenzo Marini will make his debut in the world of design, with an exclusive and still undisclosed object that will bring his aesthetic to homes all throughout Italy.

Bruce Lurie Gallery is pleased to announce the upcoming opening of Saturday Mornings, a
solo exhibition featuring the works of Al-Baseer Holly (ABH). The reception is on
Saturday, June 2, 2018 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Born in Philadelphia, ABH’s art first found expression through his work as a member of the
hip-hop duo Philly’s Most Wanted. Taking his voice from the mic to the canvas, the self-
taught artist now pays tribute to childhood memories through his vivid vignettes that
colorfully blend pop culture figures with street art style.
Saturday Mornings will feature a series of paintings that incorporate nostalgic cartoon
imagery from ABH’s childhood, an important aspect of which was the regular rite of
cartoon viewing on Saturday mornings. These works reveal the playful energy of these
moments of freedom that existed in a blissful state of immediacy, lacking the constraints of
rule and regimen. The adventure and excitement of these cartoon worlds created for him a
simple pleasure that acted as an engaging escape from quotidian concerns. ABH revisits
iconic characters such as Spongebob Squarepants, Beavis and Butthead, and G.I. Joe, among
others, and juxtaposes their literal images with a variety of abstract representations. He
strives to expose the social commentary found in the cartoons’ multifaceted characters. In
each piece, the brightly hued compositions balance humor, narrative, and reflective
discourse that capture the zeitgeist of the era in which the cartoons were viewed.
ABH’s work has been exhibited nationwide and has attracted the attention of Tommy
Hilfiger, Beyonce, and Rita Ora. Saturday Mornings will be on view beginning June 2 and
will remain so until June 30.

Opening Reception: Saturday, May 5, 2018, 6-9 pm

THE BRUCE LURIE GALLERY HOSTS DEBUT SOLO EXHIBITION FOCUSED ON JOSH MAYHEM'S GRAVITATE CANVAS SERIES

Over the past two years, in the process of creating his well-known sculptural works, Los Angeles-based artist Josh Mayhem has used dozens of gallery-quality canvases as drop cloths and as each became decorated with an accumulation of colorful drips, patterns began to emerge in the artist's mind. Augmenting each one with coatings of synthetic resin and additional painted splashes, these Gravitate series exude complexity through the floating effect the various layers create visually psychedelic in aesthetic, these Gravitate canvas works become more magical when one contemplates these as expressions of the Mayhem's subconscious. Similar to how automatic drawings manifest, the artist initially freed himself from rational control, incorporating chance into the process of their creation, allowing the random patterning to determine the direction of the finished works.

Having debuted the initial two pieces in this series at a Bruce Lurie Gallery hosted group exhibition late last year, Mayhem is proud to return to the space for a solo exhibition of these works. Consisting of roughly 30 canvas works in a variety of sizes, some are accompanied by a matching sculptural piece to inform the viewer of the work's full story. Josh Mayhem's lifelong habit of collecting children's playthings has fuelled his passion for transforming said toys into objects d'art. Embracing both order and chaos as inspiration points, Mayhem's mixed media 'art toys' tend to be created in two contrasting styles: intricate, detailed assemblages comprised of Japanese model kit parts, and more free-flowing, expressionist sculptures. Among his best-known pieces are those constituting his "Blown Away" series, in which mass-produced forms are covered in strands of resin and layers of acrylic paint to create gravity-defying drips that give the impression of the work being deconstructed by a strong wind. The popularity of this direction has led to Mayhem being nominated for Designer Toy Awards, participating in TRASHed: Art of Recycling at Coachella Festival, representation by the Corner12 agency, and continuing partnerships with the premiere worldwide creator and dealer of limited edition art toys, Kidrobot.

THE BRUCE LURIE GALLERY PRESENTS LOUIS XXX: TO MY SWEETHEART 

LOUIS XXX, better known as Louis Cannizzaro, is an American artist known for his interesting works, and witty, insightful books. LOUIS XXX gracefully expresses his feelings on love and life with painted prose. His imagery is whimsical and uplifting in nature, often set in a city, under the stars or the bright afternoon sun. LOUIS XXX is an internationally recognized artist featured in the Neiman Marcus ''The Art of Fashion Collection'', exhibited in the Hôtel Costes in Paris, LAB Art Los Angeles, and has been in a variety of publications such as Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, and the featured cover of Exhibit A art magazine. Louis was also just featured in the fall 2017 Paris fashion week after collaborating with designer Alexx Brown to paint on his couture fashion collection and has 3 books of poetry, the compilation of which is titled To My Sweetheart.

Photographer Scarlet Mann spent the last year traveling the United States in a Volkswagen Van with her husband and two boys. Mann will be showing select works from a series she created while on the road. The series is a mix of still life documentation of America intermixed with self-portrait nudes in natural environments wearing a gas mask. The series is a sort of performance art piece. Mann says, “The shoot itself is an act of installation art. Observing the feeling I obtain while posing within the open space natural environment is liberating, yet there is a vulnerability. I feel small in the vast grandeur that surrounds me.” She adds, “Being nude, for me, is the most organic human state without all of the facades of social standards. It represents liberation, the feeling of complete freedom, and a void of rules and social expectations. It is the human form in it’s most raw, stripped down and real state.” The gas mask acts as an allegory to the toxic environment ever present in society with all of the hate, racism and bigotry. Mann says, “Sometimes I feel like I need to put on a gas mask, figuratively speaking, just to get through my day. And it’s a shame because of all of the beauty and potential of this country. The American Dream — What happened to it?” 

Scarlet Mann is a fashion and fine art photographer living and working in Los Angeles. Mann is best known for her Collective Series in 2013 and 2014 LA ODYSSEY which she shot with two other photographers, Lily Flores and Serge Gill. Mann’s work has been represented by the Lurie Gallery in Los Angeles and the Zener Schon Gallery in San Francisco. She was a finalist in the Hellerau Portrait Competition in Dresden, Germany in 2015. Her works have sold at Art Basel Miami (Red Dot and Scope), the Aspen Art Fair, and the LA Art Show.

Moira Cue will be hosting the Opening Reception of her 'Virtue Series' black and white paintings, Saturday January 6, 2018at the Bruce Lurie Gallery in LA.Art transcends language.”— Moira Cue

Award-winning painter Moira Cue will premiere her monumental, black and white abstract “Virtue Series” at the world-famous Bruce Lurie Gallery in Culver City, California. Bruce Lurie gave Jean-Michel Basquiat his first major gallery show in New York City. Moira Cue's work is in the collection of pop star Madonna and real estate mogul Grant Cardone, as well as other prestigious homes and institutions. The Black and White Virtue Series is based on a single “virtuous” word translated into multiple languages via Google Translate. She also uses manual translations; including secret codes, extinct languages, and sign language, among more.

Her new work addresses; duality, art and language, meaning versus meaninglessness, construction versus deconstruction, multiculturalism and communication, and the artist's own relationship with the philosophical orientation toward the good. Moira Cue is a fan of Franz Kline and Cy Twombly. She attended the renown School of the Art Institute of Chicago, both as a graduate and undergraduate student. Moira appears prominently in press around the world, including on the front pages of major online tabloids reaching tens of millions of viewers, and has also made many appearances on television, and in several Hollywood films. Also a singer and songwriter, she has performed on stage at venues including The Viper Room, The Knitting Factory, The Tempest, and the Mint, among others. She is photographed regularly on the red carpet in Hollywood. Moira is also the founder of the Greater Los Angeles Indivisible Coalition. The black and white abstract "virtue Paintings" by the artist are oil on masonite, at six feet tall and four feet wide. All works in the series are of archival quality, with custom built frames. The show, hosted at the Bruce Lurie Gallery, coincides with celebrating the LA Art Show.
