December 1st was the opening of the 2012 LAAA Open Show, held at Gallery 825. It was a mixed bag, as large group shows can be, with some stunning pieces and some that really make you scratch your head. As always, I’m presenting my own personal favorite artworks from that show.
My highlights included local Arroyo Arts Collective member Jeanie Frias with her black canvas painting, and Philippe Chambon, an exciting contemporary expressionist painter from Palm Springs, and no one could forget the surreal trompe l’oeil elephant, by Cory Sewelson. I didn’t get all the names, but if you’re interested, visit Gallery 825 in West Los Angeles.
