"California Fantasy" Figure Drawing Night @ New Image Art in Los Angeles

"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  

Lola Rose Thompson 'Spells For Improving Your Sex Life' @ Last

Los Angeles based artist Lola Rose Thompson refracts the beguiling and sordid lights of Hollywood in her solo show at LAST Projects, comprising new paintings, drawings, sculpture and neon art. The opening of the exhibition also featured a psychedelic black light performance by Jena Malone. Through profuse and feverish figurations she limns memory, sex, new age aphorisms and and the entertainment industrial complex, offering up highly specific, short narratives in her titles, leaving one to wonder if she's actually playing the long con. Lola Rose Thompson 'Spells For Improving Your Sex Life' will be on view until March 28, 2015. photographs by Ethan DeLorenzo
