ART + EXHIBIT PICS: BEFORE THE REVOLUTION

If you haven't made it down to the gallery to see Gusmano Cesaretti's exhibition, you're really missing something!

In case you don't know the man has been documenting LA life and culture since the early 70's. Gangs, Virgen Mary murals, graffiti, he was even one of the first to photograph Chaz Bojorquez and publish a book featuring his street graff.

Couple of the folks that showed up last weekend to bless his show included: re-known digital artist David Em and "Quantum of Solace" movie director Marc Forster.

Here's the slideshow of his art and the opening reception. If interested in purchasing some of his grid images, they are very affordable, most only $30-$50 each!

Enjoy!

PRISON INC

Show opens Saturday Feb.6th from 6-9pm



Crewest is pleased to announce “Prison INC.”

A group show exhibition curated by Gregg Stone and featuring a large collection of highly skilled drawings created by incarcerated artists living behind bars whose life could have been different if born under different circumstances. Living behind bars has allowed these artists to discover their true talent and blessed them with the gift to illustrate that which fills their mind.

Also on display will be hand written letters with compelling stories from the artists themselves.

Here's a sneak peak:
