Stacy Lande returns to La Luz De Jesus with more physically charged sexual archetypes of her own. For her latest show here, she continues to portray denizens of L.A.'s art and performance world as their larger than life selves. Theatrically lit, costumed and posed as mythical characters, Lande's paintings serve as a cabaret-styled photo album of the town's most flamboyant characters. Her work is unique in that its style alludes more to the later 19th- Century's decadent period, portayed then by Toulouse-Lautrec and Degas, than with the late 20th-Century club scene whose participants she depicts.
