2014 LA Art Show

not quite sure why i didn't enjoy this show as much as i have in the past but really, nothing  popped out at me, moved me, or made me want to take one more glance before i left. i was still feeling under the weather with the flu, so i'm sure that didn't help the situation. but my girlfriend sorta summed up the show in this way..."i think young adolescent boys would love this show!"

but anyway...here were some of my favorite pieces:

i loooved these mobiles with dyed rice paper by Jade Oakley

i'm always excited to see Arcadia Contemporary, especially Julio Reyes!

unfortunately i do not remember this artists name...bummer!

well, there's always next year to look forward to!!

LA Art Show and Deukmejian drawing

What art offers is space - a certain breathing room for the spirit.

there was a ginormous convention hall full of spirit and soul at the LA Art Show this past weekend! so inspiring and fun to see such excellence in one place!! i tell you i was swooning!! these are a few of my very favorite artists displaying there:

  

 Julio Reyes(my very favorite of course...awesome graphite drawings!!)

 

Seung Hoon Park's woven photographs

 

Cameron Gray very cool block paintings

 Tong Hongsheng's impressive painting at the China pavillion

  and these crazy sculptures that i just love but didn't catch the name as they were closing and i was hurrying, trying to get in last peeks of all the art.

the rest of the weekend i was able to get in some good drawing time. working hard on my deukmejian drawing and started a new drawing...a sky landscape from Kenya. i need to get 5-6 drawings done by mid to late march as i have 3 very important shows i am entering. so i am very focused and excited (like triple-shot expresso excited!!)...working hard to get them all done in time!!
