| Selegna Sol holds a mirror up to Los Angeles, but whether it's a funhouse mirror or a doctor's headpiece depends on whose work you're looking at. One thing's for sure, the gallery is as much a work-in-progress as the pieces inside. It's an ever-changing playroom for the boys, a true artist's loft, big enough to walk away from your work, so you can sleep on it and in the morning find it waiting.
Think Greenwich village, 1959. Only that's not Mingus you're hearing but rather Jeff & Pete's latest home-studio techno-funk recording. That's why they moved out here in the first place -- to fulfill their rock and roll dreams (alas, the band broke up before its first gig). In the past year their showings have tackled themes like "War" and "Plague" (self-imposed to function as creative springboards).
'Seasons' (real seasons, not L.A. seasons) is their seventh show in Selegna Sol and is shaping up to be their strongest. Huge canvases, lots of paint. Do not miss it, for these boys are part of a neo-beat movement; artists without drug-crutches (but maybe a cane or two) still seeking to dignify the darkness and make it pretty enough to take home and hang above the couch. |
