Tara Mcpherson, Deedee Cheriel, Lindsey Way, & Aiko at Merry Karnowsky Gallery

Merry Karnowsky Gallery in Los Angeles is currently showing new work by an impressive all-girl cast- Tara Mcpherson, Deedee Cheriel, Lindsey Way, and street artist Aiko. Although this 4-person show exhibits an extremity of styles and palettes, it finds strength in its female point of view. If there is one defining link, it is the incorporation of implied “lyrical” motifs.

Separately, each artist holds her own in her treatment of the female form. Aiko dresses her girls in brightly-colored textiles, Lindsay’s in glamorous paper costumes, and Deedee’s in the guise of animals, representing our relationship with nature. Tara Mcpherson, a clear favorite, notably exhibits portraits of an almost noir-vibe, accented with metallic texture. View more images after the jump. -Caro

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

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.
