Whales. Love. Procrastination. by Lora Zombie


When Long Beach's Phone Booth Gallery first introduced us to the work of Russian artist Lora Zombie (seen here) we took immediate notice. Partially because Phone Booth has time and time again proven themselves as an emerging gallery with a sharp eye for new artists, but also because Zombie's bright watercolor works quite frankly, demanded it. For her second solo show with the gallery, 'Whales. Love. Procrastination.' Zombie returns with her tight watercolors and loose drips for a melting pot of contemporary culture fusing together comic books heroines, children's fairytales and touching human interaction. The show will be on view until June 12th, get a look after the jump!

Madsen’s narrative, semi-autobiographic paintings frequently position young adults inside spaces made for children.
