I highly recommend stopping by one of these nights to meet the artists and dive into the whimsical community at the Hive! I first discovered this gallery in '16 during the monthly DTLA artwalk. The variety of art and illustrations make you feel like you're entering a different dimension of creativity and stands out among gallery row with the vibrant, playfully absurd work. The gallery is divided into three (or more?) main areas-- the featured artist show, the group show, and the artist in residents show in the back. There are usually 2 different dj areas where the tunes keep the vibes buzzin high. Be prepared to open your mind and let the magic of this place take you away~

When I found the place, it was kind of dim and quiet. I had to double check the hours posted by the door. I peeked through the glass door and saw someone inside so I decided to come in. That person was actually Marcel (or Mancel), one of the artists with one of the stalls in the gallery. I had the gallery all by myself on the day of my visit so I freely roamed inside. I was very much surprised of the size of the gallery and how much art pieces were in there. The gallery looks small outside because of the narrow size but it goes on and on inside. I was impressed with all the unique talents these artists have. I had to tour the place twice to capture all the artworks here. I learned that the ongoing exhibit on my visit was almost ending which explains why the place is empty. I learned that exhibits change every month and from what I learned from other reviewers, this place gets really packed during opening days to meet the artists in person. I highly recommend this place you are into museums and galleries. Entrance is free.

Now let me just say this, if you're one of those individuals who looks down on other people for their creative expressions or economic status then I don't think this a place for you, no apologies! My only gripe here is the parking because this place gets Hella packed! But since I'm an early bird I don't sweat it, LoL!!! They also have very interesting thrift shops and antique stores with a twist. Personally I enjoyed exploring around each corner since you never know if there will be a new mural popping up! So if you're open minded and cultural color blind then you should definitely check this place out. And that's my take on this Los Angeles gem, Peace...

Living in South OC I thought of going by and visit a few galleries in LA county and enjoy some art. Bergamot Station was my next stop. Long behold due to the heavy traffic I arrived there at 6pm and all were closing. I parked at the William Turner Gallery and was walking around taking a peak from outside. A man just came out of the Gallery and was locking the doors and went to his car about to leave. He saw me and was observing my curiosity of trying to take peak inside the windows. Little did I know he is William Turner. I loved the fact how considerable he was to get out of his car and reopen the gallery and willing to give me a tour without even knowing who I am or wanting to label who I could be. I told him: don't mean to intrude,, it's all good. He said listen I hate you come down all the way here and not being able to see anything. JIMI GLEASON: CROSS/REFERENCE was at display. Very strong work. Highly clean and dynamic. Loved every minute of it. Made it short and thanked him for sharing his gallery and the extra time. He responded: of course this I what I love to do at best. The reason I am taking my time to write this is because a man with such an unbiased and welcoming character tells a lot who they are and how they treat people. Little things matter. I as a fine artist create artwork to inspire Global peace. Seeing gallery owners like William Turner with really high end artwork gives me a great impression of their modesty and humility. This can tell you how they operate and do business. May they continue be blessed. Regards Ehsan Khanaman

Anat Ebgi has a really nice looking facade, but what really matters is, of course, what it exhibits within! This is the first time I have ever been to this gallery and I was very, very impressed. Today's offering was "The Star Card" by Jen DeNike. It's a pretty cool installation. Often this kind of art is not much appreciated by anyone but art snobs but this installation has got character in my opinion. There is a television monitor roughly in the center of the room that is playing the video of an attractive woman wading in water while she puts water into pitchers and pulls paper stars out of her mouth. I really like the visual effect of the stars coming out of her mouth and the fact this act is associated with a watery environment. A cool feeling comes to mind, like as if you were pulling the night sky out and allowing the water to reflect it. Simply beautiful. There is a mattress of sorts in front of the TV and if you look at it you can tell that some people have actually gotten onto it to watch the images on the television. There are nice pieces on the walls which depict the same woman, probably, in watery scenes. To the right, as you enter, there is a particularly nice piece of the woman. She is submerged and there are a ring of stars in the upper left hand corner. This work gave me the chills. It reminded me of a scene of the suicide of a Shakespearean woman I've seen somewhere. It's great when works of art bring random memories to mind and make them almost vivid again. If you are interested in the art of the CAD but don't have the time to come here you may be interested in my blog: artrunnerad.blogspot.com Do not fret about coming here as there is free parking a short walk away in a residential zone just North of the CAD. It's by Pho 87 which makes great pho by the way! There is plenty of $5 or so flat rate parking in the area if you prefer.

An Art Walk in Los Angeles should be expected to be a scene where culture and artful expression…read moreknows no boundaries and embraces established techniques, modern absurdity and the limitless quanity of weird in the globe to produce what moves emotion or in other words to produce art. And my recent trip to the Downtown LA Art Walk was exactly that a collection of techniques, practices, talents, mediums, and modes of communication that came together and landed to create an amorphous experience that was shaped, like clay, to create visual and sensory craftwork. There were different galleries offering different works. I will begin this review by naming some of my favorite. There was this gallery showing photography that was enhanced, played, or showcased light and that is where I found the dinosaurs of Cabezon come to life by the angles of a camera. I clipped the picture of the drawing (art inception) and it shows a long neck dinosaur that I want to call a jirrafasuaraus but I know that is wrong, walking toward a twilight colored horizon-- where the low of the sky was orange, layered above by a lemon-yellow strip of sky, then followed a soften almost transparent orange, with the rest of the sky being a early evening blue. I could not tell that the picture was fake. I do not want to say that I thought that Jurrasic Park was real, but, the picture did make me feel that the dessert has seen dinosaurs walking toward lovely sunsets. Another favorite was a negative of a picture of what looked like a swan floating in water that was completely black, like a swan swimming on black construction paper. But the only visible parts of the swan was is feathered body, its long neck, and regal tail. I could not see its eyes, I could not see its beak, I could not see its crest up high. The swan was averting the lens of the camera and yet the beauty of the swan was evident because its pure white ruffles were silent against a black backdrop. I could continue naming the pieces I like and why, but then the artwalk would becoming an art viewing. So I will conclude that I also saw a woman wearing a ruffled vest that dragged to the floor. It was inconvenient and kind of bulky, and maybe drag dirt along the train, but this was also art. I point that out because the show attracted people with style, and style on a body, is art, as everyone knows. There was also an apartment building that opens its doors. It offered a fondue fountain, chocolate, pool table, blackjack, and a giant arcade machine where one could play spade invader or pac-man. So the engagement level of Art Walk expanded to art one could make on the spot. And if you wonder how one makes art at a pool table--- then I suggest seeing a video of a player using a stick to make a ball jump to avoid one ball and hit the other. The movement is a type of ballet jump (a piroutte) that is prompted by a stick propulsion. If that is not artistic expression, then, a person living in a glass box suspended in air above the ground isn't either. As I walked the streets of LA, I also saw a truck that had four spotlights. I have always seen events that are signaled out by spotlights but now I know that these spotlights are ambulatory, and kind of, yes, art in their own way. They rose lights to the buildings side and to the night sky. The movement was a type of dance light, and I defy anyone to prove me wrong because at its core, art can never be truly define by words because, on its own, its a visual language.
