Pencil This In: Ghostbusters, Goonies and Gremlins at Gallery 1988, Hollywood Club Crawl

'Watching Over Me' by Nathan Ota, part of an exhibit at La Luz de Jesus Gallery.
ART*
La Luz de Jesus Gallery is holding receptions for two exhibitions opening tonight. The first is Nathan Ota’s An Unforeseen Homecoming. With works on acrylic on panel, the paintings explore new worlds, both “dark and fantastic.” The second show is Yumiko Kayukawa 49 Days. In Buddhism, the numbers 4 and 9 are bad luck. The paintings in Kayukawa's show all carry a feeling of existing between life and death, and her images of food and chopsticks can pertain to either. Opening receptions are tonight from 8-11 tonight.
