The opening reception Saturday night at James Gray Gallery at Bergamot Station Art Center in Santa Monica was where I was introduced to the work of some incredible and incredibly eclectic artists: Morris B. Squire, Susan Rosman, Thom Surman, Marylyn English, David Cook, and Kitty Rocquemore. James Gray Gallery is divided into five separate spaces. Strolling through the gallery, I got my fill of some of my favorite components of art: colors, textures, composition, and fantastically disturbing whimsy.

Cloistered in Miracle Mile’s notable art district I made my way to the Lawrence Asher Gallery for its opening exhibit which showcased artists Lola del Fresno and Bianca Kolonusz-Partee.

Last Saturday I was lucky enough to attend the Miracle Mile Art Walk. The Art Walk is a full-on tour of the galleries on La Brea and Beverly Boulevard complete with talks by featured artists and free shuttle rides by the Holly Trolley. If this isn’t enough to convince you to join in the fun, a bouquet of balloons marks off each participating gallery. How can you say no to that?

Time to add another toy to my collection! Renowned artist Coop unveiled his first vinyl toy, LIL MORT, at one of my favorite spots Munky King.

It was a beautiful weekend and a perfect location for this amazing line-up of underground contemporary art galleries in the Los Angeles area. A picturesque setting nestled atop the Hollywood Hills is where the Municipal Art Gallery is situated. The artwork displayed this weekend was top notch! The showcase included several amazing artist’s as well as a series of portraits called “Heroes & Villains,” by Tatiana Wills and Roman Cho. You should NOT have missed this but lucky for you this will take place once again next year! Till then, I hope to see you all out at one of the many art openings scheduled throughout the year!
