LA Art Show 2012

This past weekend, Hi-Fructose took a trip down to Los Angeles to check out the 2012 art fairs (see our coverage of the Affordable Art Fair here.) The city's largest fair, the LA Art Show, opened with a bang on Wednesday night, packed with celebrities (as to be expected in Los Angeles) for a star studded night of fine and contemporary art. Of course, we were in attendance to check out the art, of which there was plenty. Though the fair lacked any real street art presence (odd considering the successes of the recent MOCA show), there were still some gems scattered throughout the fair which presented a refreshing blend of fine, contemporary, classic, Chinese and print works. Get a look at some of the pieces that caught our eye after the jump.

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.
