Amy Crehore Brings ‘Bathers, Buskers & Cats’ to La Luz de Jesus

Amy Crehore brings her joyful paintings to La Luz de Jesus Gallery with the aptly named "Bathers, Buskers & Cats." The show, running through Dec. 1 at the Los Angeles space, offers a set of oil on linen works that move through time, cultures, and touches of surrealism, all while staying true to that title.

Amy Crehore brings her joyful paintings to La Luz de Jesus Gallery with the aptly named “Bathers, Buskers & Cats.” The show, running through Dec. 1 at the Los Angeles space, offers a set of oil on linen works that move through time, cultures, and touches of surrealism, all while staying true to that title.

“For her solo exhibition, Bathers, Buskers, and Cats, Crehore has chosen charming motifs that she loves– cats, plants, vintage string instruments, an old Harvard amp, buskers, bathers, bubbles, a pierrot, etc,” the gallery says. “Crehore explains, ‘Matisse reminds me of the importance of color and pattern. Balthus reminds me to use dynamic angles when posing my imaginary figures and to be sure to have cats lurking around. The Italian metaphysical and magic realist painters such as De Chirico and Donghi are sometimes watching over me as I paint.’”

See more of her work from the show on her site and on the gallery’s page.

El Gato Chimney Explores Occult Themes with New Paintings

Italian artist El Gato Chimney's paintings riff on occult motifs, juxtaposing magical and folkloric symbols with surreal elements. Populated by anthropomorphic animals, Chimney's world is imbued with a sense of playfulness as he invites viewers to suspend disbelief and indulge their imaginations. Originally self-taught, the artist got his start in the graffiti and street art scenes of Milan. While his new work appears to be influenced by Bosch rather than Banksy, his off-kilter juxtapositions evoke the tongue-in-cheek humor often found on the streets. El Gato Chimney currently has a solo show, "Metapsychic Paths," at Combustion Espontanea Art Gallery in Madrid on view through November 1.
