ART TODAY Highlights: The stunning “Ikebana Series” – plus meet Sandy Bleifer Monday, 8.7 for “Penetrating Walls” panel discussion at FM Fine Art Gallery
I have created artistic interpretations of my own Ikebana arrangements and, as I have done in much of my previous work in other subjects, revealed the distress that persistently undermines our aspirations of beauty and serenity.
Sounds and the City 08.4.17: “Rabbit Fur Coat” by Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins
Jenny Lewis originates from the San Fernando Valley. As a child star in the 80s and 90s, she is no stranger to the sometimes dismal display behind Hollywood’s red velvet curtain. “Rabbit Fur Coat” recounts how Lewis became a spoke in the cog of Los Angeles’ film and television industry via her mother’s biography.
A Negro and a Hot-Tub, short story by former NFL pro-player and emerging novelist Andre Hardy, Sr.
Propaganda, yes, but still, I sometimes get confused. For instance, whenever I wear hoodies, I find myself suspicious of my right hand, wondering if it might steal the money from my left pocket. With that in mind, who knew what stereotype would be triggered if Tiny Hands started using foul-mouthed locker room talk?
ART TODAY “Highlights” 08.04.17: Blood, Sweat, and Fears – Molly Kirschenbaum (Moollz) Delves Into All Things Woman with Her Exploration of Sexuality, Body Love, and the Fierce Female Form
Rhonda, with headress and flames: I made this piece a while ago, over the course of…a year, I think? I had taken a figure drawing workshop in which I completed the original sketch of the model pictured. She had the most interesting expressions when posing, but I wasn’t very good at faces.
ART TODAY “Highlights” 08.03.17: Thank you Hagop Belian for opening our eyes to your culture and giving us a view through the Cracks
Born in Damascus, Syria in 1977, Hagop immigrated to the United States with his sister when he was just twelve years old. As a Syrian-Armenian, he is motivated to preserve his culture and share it in a way that challenges stereotypes. While Hagop’s works are eye-catching – even startling – in their surrealism upon first glance, they are very much grounded in reality.

ART TODAY “Highlights” 07.31.17: Zion Vista by Erin Hanson
The bridge over the Virgin River, in Zion National Park, is a popular spot to catch the beautiful red cliffs and winding river. This painting captures all the drama and magnificence of this amazing vista. The oil paint was thickly applied with a brush, the impressionsitic colors melding together to capture the fleeting light of dawn.
ART TODAY “Highlights” 07.30.17: Living Color by Frank Creaturo, Jr.
It is often difficult to convey the depth, texture, and movement of a painting via photographs on the internet or even in a magazine. The qualities that initially drew us into the painting get lost. However, that is not the case with the artwork of Frank Creaturo, Jr, whose creations appear as rich and fluid online as they do in real life.
Salient Sunday: Adam Mars lets us inside his Funhouse for a TribeLA Magazine Acrostic Interview
I was raised by chefs so I know how to cook, though I don’t show off my knowledge much. I love prosciutto. My favorite restaurant is Taix in Echo Park.
My family. They allowed me to follow my creative passions and I try not to make them think I made a big mistake.
My favorite painting I made is called The Naughty Doppler. It still amazes me every time I see it.
ART TODAY 07.28.17: The “River Rocks Series” by Sandy Bleifer, sharing her art-making methods
My work evolves from an inquiry into the nature of my materials, my working process, and the paper itself. What I learn from my media I use as a frame of reference for the real world. The pieces in the River Rocks series express some of the common ground shared by natural processes and my art-making methods.
