american fine arts; an allegory for americas. A Reprise. The final chapter opens this evening at 8pm. Thanks to for giving us space in this final presentation. We have 7 new works for chapter seven, two of which pictured here are a painting by Kasser Sánchez from Oaxaca and a colored pencil drawing by Isa Carillo from Guadalajara. @ ArtMovement Los Angeles

OPENING TOMORROW NIGHT AT ArtMovement Los Angeles!

For the last iteration of american fine arts, an allegory for americas, we present a beginning at the end, the lifetime in between a past and current moment. Slightly altered and thus a reprise.

In a way, categorically the show died in Miami, its last stop away from Los Angeles. Now the show returns home. This final iteration becomes a moment beyond time, an end, after an end, and thus ongoing. american fine arts, an allegory for americas is done forever, an impossible yet inevitable and therefore inexplicable state.
