Welcome to 2022! Here we are in a similar, yet slightly different place than last year. Still got the Ronas, still gotta mask up, and we still want to get are groove on. In a city that is mostly vaccinated, we should be able to return to some sort of normal, but nooooo, we got the Omicron…so, like I said, mask up, and be patient.
The LA Art Show is weeks away and I am looking forward to the over stimulation that can come from aisles of art from around the world. The people watching is always good as well. Tickets are available.
Poet’s Place is up and Linda Kaye, our poetry curator extraordinaire, has assembled a great group of poets and their poetry. Below, you’ll find links to 2022 grant info and opportunities to get your art groove on.

At bg Gallery This Weekend
Quaranta
A SEISMIC ISOLATION
curated by Susan Lizotte and Jenny Hager
Opening Reception
5:00 - 8:00pm
Saturday, January 8th, 2022
bG Gallery, 2525 Michigan Avenue A2, Santa Monica, CA 90404
Masks are required inside the gallery. If safety conditions for covid change we will respond and modify or reschedule the event in a responsible manner.
Full Dates: January 6th - January 27th, 2022
General Hours: Tues.-Sat. 12:00 - 5:00pm
Living through and understanding that we are in the midst of one of the more seismic events of the twenty-first century has affected us as citizens of the world, as well as individually. The Pandemic and the Quarantine have disrupted multiple aspects of our lives while the specter of death and illness has been consistently present. Most visual artists are solitary creatures by nature in regards to studio practices, but the Quarantine brought a different type of isolation. Work produced during the Quarantine, by nature, is a visual documentation of artists’ emotional response, either directly, or indirectly.
The Quarantine allowed for some artists to delve more deeply into a continuous body or work, such as the human impact upon our ecological environment, while some artists experienced shifts in formal expressions or content in a desire to find hope amidst daily unease. Additional artists found their mode of work in the public sphere completely disrupted, and had to find alternative ways of working. “Quaranta” presents works created during the Pandemic, and the artists included reflect the cultural mosaic of the Quarantine, its uncertainty, and how it is reflected in the collective experience and adjustments for a continually changing world.

In the upcoming Show, Jane Kahan Gallery is presenting one of this year's Featured Exhibitions, CONCEPTUAL TRADITIONS, a selection of artworks from its collection of 20th century art by Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall and Alexander Calder.

ROOTS Gallery Highlights:
Welcoming ROOTS Galleries to the LA Art Show
Honoring the voices and movements that came before, ROOTS is the LA Art Show’s exhibition space dedicated to galleries that showcase historical works and contemporary artists following in those traditions. Among the galleries in the ROOTS section for 2022 are Rehs Galleries and J. Sabry Fine Art Gallery.
Rehs Galleries
We are delighted to welcome back Rehs Galleries as an exhibiting gallery in the ROOTS section of the LA Art Show. Rehs Galleries has been a participating exhibitor with the LA Art Show since the very beginning and the only gallery that has participated every year—that's 27 years! Thank you, Rehs Galleries!
"We have fond memories of the first show, back in 1994, when 14 Fine Art Dealers Association members held an exhibition at the Pasadena Convention Center. That year, about 300 people attended the show," said gallery owner Howard Rehs.
Edouard Leon Cortes – Café del a Paix, 1949

Based in New York City, Rehs Galleries is considered one of the world's preeminent dealers of 19th and early 20th-century European paintings. This year at the LA Art Show, Rehs will present a selection of fine art including works by Edouard Leon Cortes, Emilio Sanchez Perrier, Arthur John Elsley, John Stobart, Leon Perrault and Mark Lague.
Léon-Jean-Bazille Perrault (1832-1908) was a mid-nineteenth century French academic
classical painter who focused on representing subjects that reinforced the affluent bourgeoisie
in their desire to have beautiful pictures adorning their homes.
J Sabry Fine Art Gallery
We are very pleased to welcome J Sabry Fine Art as an exhibitor in our ROOTS section! Based in Beverly Hills, California, the gallery specializes in contemporary and historical traditional and Western works of art by pre-eminent artists from Norman Rockwell to Frederic Remington.
Whether a collector is looking for a multi-million dollar painting, a modestly priced art treasure under $10,000, or something in between, J Sabry Fine Art is focused on helping collectors find art they will love and enjoy owning for years to come.
“We feel very blessed to be able to help collectors with their art collections and we look forward to visitors from the LA Art Show dropping by the booth and getting a chance to view some of our beautiful art!” said gallery co-owner Joanne Watson.
Among the selected works the gallery will present at the LA Art Show, are highly collectible paintings by Pino and Norman Rockwell.
Born in New York City, Norman Percevel Rockwell (1894–1978) was an American painter and illustrator who became famous for his illustrations of everyday life featured on the covers of The Saturday Evening Post magazine for almost five decades.. His works have a broad popular appeal in the United States for their reflection of American culture.
Pino Daeni (1939–2010) was an Italian artist who captured feelings of warmth, nostalgia, love and family in his work. His paintings are often set on the vibrantly sunny beaches of the Mediterranean, where he grew up. Born Giuseppe Dangelico, Pino became known worldwide for his ability to convey the movements and expressions of his subjects.
