Sometimes I feel like all the great art shows are happening outside of NY, then I realize I don’t go out cause I have a baby… WEST has a show out in LA right now that runs till December which gives me a little more than 2 months to get out there and check it out, and if your in LA or will be you should check it out too.
“WEST, the renowned graffiti artist-turned-abstract painter, has joined forces with furniture company Environment for a public mural and solo show titled “Freedom Suite”. WEST id exhibiting new paintings inside the showroom and a large-scale mural on the exterior of Environment’s Beverly Boulevard, Los Angeles location creating community through shared ideas, knowledge, culture and art. Some proceeds will be donated to the charity Jamaican Kids.
“We live in a vast city where everything’s at right angles,” WEST said. “My work is movement and energy. It’s organic. The viewer will see different things – maybe themselves, maybe the city. Maybe the broader environment. I hope to make us look at our space, our environment, a little differently.”
Open to the public now, the WEST exhibition will be on display at the Environment Furniture Showroom, 8126 Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles through December 31, 2011.”
