Exhibiting during the Art Crawl: Ana Bagayan "There, there"
Born in Armenia in 1983, Ana Bagayan moved to Burbank, California
with her family when she was six years old. In 2003, while still attending Pasadena's Art Center College of Design, Bagayan submitted work for consideration to La Luz de Jesus Gallery's annual juried group show
and was accepted immediately. Bagayan graduated from Art Center in
December 2004. Her whimsical yet edgy paintings reflect her intense
formal training, rich cultural background & interests in vintage
photographs and children's toys, books and dollhouses. Her work has
graced the pages of such publications as Rolling Stone, GQ and Spin Magazines, depicting eerily life-like celebrity caricatures of such notables
as Beck, Avril Lavigne and the Olsen Twins. "There, there" will be
Ana Bagayan's second solo-exhibition at La Luz de Jesus Gallery.

“Observatory Series on Mirrors”This recent series of work was inspired by vintage mirrors Barbara found at Libby’s and by the Griffith Observatory,
which she can see from her studio in Silver Lake. The Observatory was built
in 1935 and has undergone major renovations with plans for it to reopen this year. Barbara created these pieces by an ink transfer of digitally manipulated photos, oil, watercolor paint and other media.

New work: two person show with Neil Wax & David E. Stone
As a young suburbanite, Neil Wax fell in love early on with the noxious
pleasures of purchase and consumption.It is of some relief for him to be able
to liberalizemy bottled-up emotions. Of course, nothing takes the pain away completely, but it’s nice to know that we can contain it somehow- for better
or worse. Neil Wax's Abject Goods TM are sometimes also seen in Japan.
To date, David E. Stone has shown scribbled out crossword puzzles from magazines, proposed rides for an unrealized amusement park called Ordinary World, large vinyl advertising banners of the signature of artist, Joseph Beuys,and more. The materials used in his artwork have included gold leaf, digital prints, neon, ink, white-out, dirt, bronze, plastic water bottles, hard ground etching, lenticular trading cards, burned books to mention a few.
Stone's work has been shown at the Museum of Modern Art in NY, Hirshhorn Museum in Washington DC, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and the
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
