There’s a quite a few exciting show openings in Los Angeles next weekend.  BDAB will be in attendance for at least a couple of these, so drop me a line in the comments if you’re going too.

Gilded Age @ Thinkspace Gallery.  Saturday, September 12th, 6-9pm

6009 Washington Blvd. Culver City, CA 90232

Andrew Horkey, Esao Andrews, Joao Ruas

Don’t call it a group show.  It is a three-man exhibition between Aaron Horkey (@aaronhorkey), Esao Andrews (@esao), and Joao Ruas (@feral_kid).  The idea for this show first came about back in 2012 when Thinkspace Gallery’s head honcho Andrew Hosner (@thinkspace_art) casually asked Andrew Horkey about his ideal three-man show, to which Horkey quickly named off Esao and Joao.  Each of these artists have been heavily promoting the show with teasers of works-in-progress and it’s looks like it’ll easily be the show of the year in Los Angeles.  Be sure to sign up for Thinkspace’s email list or follow them on social media for more information.

 

Mad Props Street Cred @ New Image Art. Friday, September 11th, 7-10pm

7920 Santa Monica Blvd. West Hollywood, CA 90046

Anthony Lister

This is the first solo exhibition in United States since 2012 of the self-proclaimed “adventure painter” Anthony Lister (@anthonylister).  The Australian street artist has been busy on the streets of LA in the last week hitting up walls to promote the show.  New Image Art (@newimageart) knows how to throw a party, so it should be a good show to attend if you’re not doing much this Friday.  Even if you are, this will probably be better, so go to the show anyways.

Trapezoid @ KP Projects/Merry Karnowsky Gallery.  Saturday, September 12th, 7-10pm

170 S La Brea Ave Los Angeles, CA

Mark Whalen

Mark Whalen (@mark_whalen) is another Australian artist showing in Los Angeles next weekend.  Merry Karnowsky (@kpprojectsmkg) has been kind to the BDAB collection in the last few years, although they probably don’t even know it.  From the looks of it, Mark is preparing a large installation, much akin to the large scale outdoor work he’s done in the past.
