Gallery Must See: Camille Rose Garcia
This is the last week to step into the doomful fairy land of Camille Rose Garcia at the Merry Karnowsky Gallery. Her latest collection, Escape to Darlingtonia, is another chapter in Garcia’s cartoony nightmares.
Born in Los Angeles, and growing up in OC in the shadows of Disneyland; Garcia’s work is an animated, punk, and glittery fantasy.
Imagine boozing & pill popping through the eyes of an innocent doe-eyed child, and you might get a sense of what is going on in the mind of this creative artist. The juxtaposition of beauty & fright is on display with beautiful vivid colors, and macabre storylines.
Never one to disappoint, Garcia’s original latest series of work keeps her on the top of my list as one of my favorite Angeleno artists.
On View thru Saturday 11/17
Merry Karnowsky Gallery
170 S. LaBrea Ave. (in the Art 170 bldg.)
