Emotions and sensations will be running abound at Harvey’s on Beverly in Los Angeles with the soon-to-be opening of “Sensual Impressionism” exhibition and the opening reception with the artists on Saturday, July 7 from 6:00 to 9:00 pm.
From the street one can see the sexy high heel by Gerrad Bohl, including other of his works, “Posterior Paintings” that make the West wall rock.
In the other window, “Les Femmes Fatale” works by eiotown are on full display. His hot mannequins sprout wings, babies, feathers and even a horse out of the head of one bound in leather.
As you enter, you will be overwhelmed by the sensations of colors of Nigel Cooper. His oil paintings are mere reflection of sights and sounds that his has abstracted from warm blues to sizzling hot reds, and as you climb the staircase, montages and deconstructions by Dan Becker will give you a nostalgic feelings like “Belle” to the male bonding pix of charging football players.
To the left are the tactile and sexy bronze sculptures by KO. She captures sensations and the inner feelings of being a woman.
At the top of the staircase, on the mezzanine, the photography of Shahram Sanai is sometimes erotic and always sensual. One lady admires the new tattoo above her mound of Venus as gay and straight celebrity couples embrace across the room.
As you descend the stairs, watch as Hal Yaskulka red paintings tango while his pink lady’s body is embraced by another as the butterfly watches.
Look behind the bar to discover an array of lighting nude photographic self-portraits that are not only amazing, but also full of symbolism by Cody Hunt.
And in the backroom gallery, which is always full of surprises, I employ you to let your total self take in the mystical and hypnotizing photography of David Gardner.
Curated by yours truly, the exhibition will through Labor Day 2012; therefore, if you should have any questions, call me at 323.829.2787 or email: clarkarts@aol.com . One last note, I guarantee a fun crowd and refreshments flowing.
