Under the direction of Alexandra Revzin, the LA French Gallery represents French emerging artists. I went to the opening night last Saturday and I enjoyed the location, crowd and art very much.
The opening took place in The Loft at Liz’s, a truly unique gallery space. It is located above Liz’s Antique Hardware Store and you enter through an old wooden stairway that leads you into a loft space on the second floor with a layout that can host events of different kinds but especially well art shows as it seems. The space filled up with people quite fast that night and the main gathering point for conversations was in the kitchen ( yes it IS a loft that makes it so one-of-a-kind ) around the old and heavy wooden table.
The art was exquisite. I liked every piece in it but one artist in particular caught my attention:
Jagane’s paintings are powerful, clear, dynamic and authentic. Sometimes parts are over-painted, I like this, I know it can be very joyful. The paint is applied with strong and wide brush strokes, within a small color range so you wouldn’t get distracted from the main feeling that gets transmitted – the attempt to hold an elusive moment. I love them.
This weekend, there is another group show coming up in The Loft at Liz’s with a focus on Los Angeles design firms “Ability/Designability”
