This fall’s Affaire in the Gardens Art Show celebrates one of Los Angeles’ most precious and upscale resources: water. I guess they want to keep their professionally landscaped lawns that bright green color. And you should come and enjoy it. It’s FREE. And it’s certainly prettier than Chinatown.

For those of you that know the beauty of a community art show, Affaire in the Gardens shouldn’t be missed. The show features over 200 artists, a wine garden, live music, local cuisine, art demonstrations, local celebrities, art collectors, and the kind of chic sunshine and flora that only Beverly Hills can buy.

 So, turn off your TiVo’s and spend your weekend outdoors for a change, rubbing elbows with Los Angeles’ richer, prettier half.

"Mansfield" by Mitch O'Connell

 

If you’re post-Pop and all Pop Surrealism (or your date is), may I suggest you take a gander at La Luz de Jesus Gallery’s latest show featuring artists John Puglisi and Mitch O’Connell (October 2nd-31st).

O’Connell, one of Chicago’s most treasured illustrators and well-know lowbrow artists, is all brand names and cheer as he perverts pop art with his cartoony and disturbingly cute style in his collection “Pre-engagement Ring.” He’s got Marilyn, Jane Mansfield and adorable woodland creatures. He’s even got a salt’n pepper shaker that resembles a dildo. Or maybe that’s just me.

"Elephant Graveyard" by John Puglisi
Puglisi, an illustrator and storyboard artist for DreamWorks, Disney, Universal Studios, Warner Brothers, Industrial Light and Magic, and Twentieth-Century Fox, manages to be more nostalgic than depressing in his collection “The Cold, Hard Ground.” You know, little boys ogling pin-up girls, junkyards, graveyards, bleak gray skies and even a little bit of suicide. Just like your childhood. Remember?

 

La Luz is a hybrid between a historic, groundbreaking art gallery and eclectic gift shop, where you can buy anything from Alien action figures to special edition art books to sushi-themed shower curtains to an original Mark Ryden or Nathan Ota.

Yes. This is a place definitely worth teleporting to day or night.
