La Luz de Jesus 25th Anniversary Show – Recap

With only a couple more weeks until the historic La Luz de Jesus 25th Anniversary show comes to an end, we thought it fitting to take a look at the star-studded openings where many of the new contemporary greats came out en masse to celebrate Billy Shire and his 25 year long contribution to the LA art scene. Get a look at the artists in attendance after the jump, and a peek at the overwhelmingly large and stellar body of work that's been on display the past two months here and here.

We recently stayed at the 21c Art Museum Hotel in St.Louis as well as the 21c in Bentonville, Arkansas and had the best time. 21c locations combine actual contemporary art museum gallery exhibitions which are free and open to the general public. Read our hifructos.ecom exclusive interview with 21c's curator Alice Gray Stites by clicking above.
Gil Bruvel’s work seems to be both modern and craft movement inspired at the same time. They are made of hundreds of parts; intricate, yet, when those parts are viewed from a distance, are smooth and cohesive. We’ve asked the artist to delve into his process and themes and a bit of his background as an artist. Click the image above to read our Hi-Fructose exclusive with the artist

(Above: Drone photo by stephan pruitt/fiasco media) We are living in even stranger times. While fires are ravaging Los Angeles on the west coast of the United States, affecting many of our friends and collaborators, the scores of artists in Asheville affected by Hurricane Helene in December are still reeling from the loss of their homes and studios. To provide support, Bender Gallery has organized an art show with their local artists to support the River Arts District. Click above to read all about it and see a few works on display.
