Tonight over at Lab 101 in Culver City there's a group show opening that should be really rad. It features Kelsey Brookes, Anthony Lister, and Kill Pixie. Kelsey Brookes, who's image you see above, was studying to be a scientist, but now spends his times illustrating and painting. He's been featured in the Vans Sky Gallery, and has done t-shirts for brands like RVCA. He'll also be releasing a new print tonight, so if you dig his style, be sure to check it out.
Anthony Lister is an Australian painter who works in a very loose painting style, often portraying odd mash-ups of distorted superheroes. Kill Pixie, aka Mark Whalen, uses a ton of pastel colors in his attempt at creating an urban version of folk art. Very abstract, but beautifully colored. They also have some pretty rad looking sculptures on exhibit as well.
The opening goes from 7-10pm tonight, and the show runs until November 28th.
It's also Lab 101's 3rd anniversary, so be sure to wish them a happy anniversary!
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
