Los Angeles Art Week continues with an array of fibers, sculptures, and stunning paintings by leading artists. Whitewall explores the harmony of creatives after a time of devastating destruction in Los Angeles by celebrating ten years of Rele Gallery, showcasing thrilling group exhibitions at Albertz Benda, and debuting new works by iconic artist by Lisa Yuskavage.
“SADDLE UP: Artistic Journeys Through Cowboy Culture” is galloping into Albertz Benda, rounding up a fresh posse of artists redefining what “western” means today. Curated by Los Angeles based artist Devon DeJardin, the exhibition is an ever evolving exploration of the American West. The show features artists Chloe Chiasson, NH DePass, Drew Dodge, Raven Halfmoon, Julian Pace, Robert Peterson, Taylor Marie Prendergast, Levi Pitters, Ken Taylor Reynaga, Sol Summers, Connor Tingley, Kayla WiH, and Jess Valic portraying their personal takes on cowboysim through a variety of mediums. In response to the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, albertz benda, Friedman Benda, and the participating artists are donating a portion of proceeds to the L.A. Arts Community Fire Relief Fund, aiding local artists in need.
