First reception of 2014. Walt Hall at Cactus Gallery. Saturday, January 11, 2014. 6p-9p.


We would like to invite you out on Saturday, January 11, 2014 from 6p-9p for a reception for featured artist Walt Hall's "A Winter Wonderland." Above is a peek of the lovely new space that houses the most awesome of installations!

Walt and I have been working together for nearly 8 years and as a gallerist and collector of his paintings, I continue to be drawn to his work. I find joy in finding that one of the characters in the forest scenes is wearing a new hat, or a mask, and lately some of the characters have jumped off of their distressed wood planks and have become woodcuts!

Add to your collection by owning a piece by one of L.A.'s most active artists, or spread the love and get someone started on their own collection! Many works available at all price points.

"Sense" at Cactus Gallery - 6th Annual Solo Exhibit by Patricia Krebs



 

Cactus Gallery is proud to present "Sense" - a solo exhibition by multimedia artist Patricia Krebs. 

For this -- her 6th annual solo show at Cactus Gallery -- Krebs presents a series of paintings about what we experience through our senses and emotions in contrast with our need to control such experiences and 'make sense of things' in a logical way. Like in all her previous works, she seduces the viewer using the whimsical as an excuse to reflect about more profound ideas: what's hidden below the surface of appearances; the complexity of humanity; the connections within ourselves, between each other, and to the world.


The reception, which coincides with Northeast Los Angeles' (NELA) Second Saturday Gallery Night, is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, will take place on Saturday, October 12th, from 6 to 9 pm at the Treeline Woodworks showroom, the gorgeous brand new space we exhibited in for the Frogtown Artwalk, located at 3001 N. Coolidge Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90039.


If you have a question regarding availability of work, please contact Sandra Mastroianni @ semastroianni70@yahoo.com or 323.801.8669
