Alexane at La Luz de Jesus


It was three times the charm for Beyond Eden last weekend. The multi-gallery event celebrated its third year at LA Municpal Art Gallery at Barnsdall Park, highlighting the best of LA’s contemporary art scene. Participating galleries C.A.V.E., Copro, Nucleus, Spoke Art, La Luz de Jesus, Toy Art Gallery, and Thinkspace each curated intertwining exhibitions with an exclusive preview of shows to come. In addition to the work on display, opening night honored Anthony Ausgang with a lifetime achievement award. Ausgang is widely considered a “pioneer of Lowbrow ” for his surrealistic- cartoon inspired paintings, which got mass attention last year from his MGMT album art. Among too many artists to name were Chet Zar, Luke Chueh, Yosuke Ueno, Arkiv, Skibs, Junko Mizuno, Dan Quintana- and local artist Euth, who presented a showcase of emerging graffiti artists in Los Angeles. In the media room, Sketch Theater screened their “Best of” time-lapsed videos of artists sketching from start to finish. Although the exhibitors are separated by individual styles and crop of artists, the vibe at Beyond Eden was that of an ambitious collaboration. Beyond Eden exhibited at LA Municipal Art Gallery in Barnsdall Park, Los Angeles on October 1 & 2, 2011. - Caro
