| New Gallery intern Julie with Myron Conan Dyal's Marching Silence |
The L.A. Times named us the "Art Pick of the Week." Cartwheel highlighted the "Grotesque Beauty" of the show and included examples of the work of each artist featured: Steven Daily, Myron Conan Dyal, Scott Holloway, Craig LaRotonda, Mavis Leahy, Miso, Gail Potocki, Jasmine Worth.
Of course the joy of a curated theme exhibition in October is tackling the preconceptions that the season brings with it. Autumn is heralded by an Equinox, and the works of Myron Conan Dyal ("Rivaled only by Richard Serra in the contest for best living sculptor"), Gail Potocki ("The greatest contemporary symbolist painter"), and exquisite fabric artist Mavis Leahy channel the changes of nature within that context. Craig LaRotonda and Steven Daily use classic master techniques to expose the darkness of technology and secret societies respectively. Jasmine Worth has adopted and adapted Christian symbolism for her sold-out-before-opening show, and Scott Holloway takes a Gothic, somewhat Corinthian approach to subjects of life, love, death and dissection. Miso funnels the high concepts of birth and defect dichotomies into an adorably minimalist proposition some may find to be the most disturbing of all the works on display.
This is no doubt the best show you are going to see this weekend, and probably all month long. I just scanned the streets and the parking situation hasn't turned cutthroat just yet, so stop what you're doing and head on over before the fire marshall shuts us down.
