Opening this weekend at GRNY
Susie Ghahremani Art Show
Teacher’s Pets
August 18, 2007 – September 12, 2007
Saturday, August 18, 6:30 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.
Themes of the show will include patterns and fine detail, animals and nature, and interior spaces with domesticated wildlife. Ghahremani titled it “Teacher’s Pets” because she takes imaginary animals and teaches them how to do her favorite things: play the piano, make origami, ride a bike, swing in a hammock without falling out. Nearly 200 paintings, soft sculptures, unframed line drawings, framed work, wood pieces, and miniatures will be on display.
Opening this weekend at GR2 (LA)
Misaki Kawai Art Show
Sporty Club
August 18 – September 12, 2007
Reception: Saturday, August 18, 6:30 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.
Kawai, who splits her time between Osaka and New York City, has a playful, youthful style that is applied on a grown-up scale. Her naïve-looking sculptures built from cardboard, fabric, found objects, and 99-cent-store purchases resemble children’s drawings come to life. Likewise, her illustration is raw but powerful and innocent but smart. Her work has shown at Boston’s ICA and Houston’s MFA as well as a Macy’s window in New York City. It has also been reproduced in publications by McSweeney’s, Watarium, and The Ganzfield, as well as T-shirts by 2K Gingham.
This will be her first solo show in Los Angeles.
