“FORM vs THE ABYSS” features work from Rose Masterpol and Joan Scheibel. Rose Masterpol is unshackled by the constraints that once held her in bondage. With this new work, she leaves her architectural renderings behind and pours the magic onto the canvas with unbounded passion, freedom, and conviction. The new paintings formulate moments occurring in nature. The viewer is taken on a journey of reckless abandonment through a dust of dandelions, a buttermilk sky and into the depths of the abyss. Joan Scheibel's series of paintings culminated from a singular morning in Palmdale, California. Taking images of her own shadow on her Blackberry cell phone, Scheibel conveys a perfect moment in which her androgynous form exhibits strength as well as vulnerability. Scheibel was inspired to return to her creative work after visiting Peter Max's studio, and uses a variety of mediums in her process. 6-9 p.m.

Curve Line Space
1577 Colorado Boulevard
Ryan Logan: “Of Other Places.” Sculptural work using numerous units he combines and suspends into a network using overlapping pathways. "While creating these "Intersection" collages over the past two years, concentrating on the idea of dislocation within a vast area was my main concern. The collages have been an attempt to present this dislocation visually as a tension that exists from this lack of a sense of place. There are overlapping systems within the pieces that seem to lead to nowhere in particular and yet there is also an absurd attempt to centralize the overall composition."

Dark Dark Science Gallery
3245 Casitas Avenue, Suite 157
Celebrated counter-culture curator Lenora Claire is proud to announce two distinct exhibitions opening on one evening: “Smile Even if It Hurts” featuring Jessicka Addams and Lindsey Way.

New Puppy

Thinkspace will be presenting a special pop-up show at New Puppy-- Belgian-born artist ROA's debut west coast solo show. ROA's organic animals, huge both in presentation and reputation, will soon take over the streets of LA as well as the walls of New Puppy Gallery, reminding the city's art lovers that there is indeed nature all around us, even in the middle of the City of Angels. His street work brings to mind the natural world before it was covered in skyscrapers and highways. His stark black and white illustrations are as much home on the walls of galleries as they are on the walls of abandoned factories. As the cities of the world continue to push nature further and further away... and closer and closer to extinction, ROA's work acts as an ardent cry to arms for us all to take action. 6 p.m.-midnight.
