"California Fantasy," an exhibition that just ended at New Image Art gallery in Los Angeles, explored "the myth, sparkle, and sensuality that exist within the California environs" and evoked "feelings of psychedelia and euphoria with and aim to awaken a perceived Californian paradise as manifested through vibrant paintings, ethereal drawings, and transcendental sculptures." The group exhibition presented the work of Lola Rose Thompson, Elena Stonaker, Meagan Boyd, Peter Makela, Meegan Barnes, Raul de Nieves, and Mymo. Last week, artists Stonaker and Boyd held a special one night only experimental life drawing class that verged on bohemian, erotic performance art. all photographs by Natalie Yang
