Barbara Kosoff creates mixed-media works on paper with photographic images found in magazines, pop culture publications, paper bags, and other random sources.
Sh
e combines them with drawing and painting with oil bars. Starting with an idea and responding to chance and serendipity, Kosoff allows her instincts to guide her. Working intuitively, she rearranges visual elements and places them in unlikely settings, combining the real to create the surreal; revealing an inner dream, dilemma or desire.
Enjoy white wine and freshly popped popcorn.

Also in Santa Monica…
Ru
th Bachofner Gallery celebrates “4 Painters,” an exhibition featuring work by four local artists, all of whom received their art educations from UCLA. Artists include: Tony Beavy, Heather Brown, Elizabeth Medina, and Michael Morrison.
This exhibition features the work of four Los Angeles-based painters who each cultivate individualized modes of abstraction. The unifying thread among these artists is their reliance upon process-oriented and problem-solving approaches to painting. This collection of work shows paint subjected to a host of formal impulses, resolves and manipulations with vastly different outcomes and motivations.
On view: June 13th – July 18th

In Culver City…
Anat Ebgi presents “Duckrabbit,” an exhibition organized by Jason Bailer Losh. Artists include: Matthew Ager, Martin Basher, Armin Boehm, Anthony Caro, Aline Cautis, Andy Coolquitt, Rick Hager, Whitney Hubbs, Nick Kramer, Jason Bailer Losh, Pernille with Madsen, Sigrid Sandström,Melanie Schiff, Emily Sudd and B. Wurtz.
Whenever someone other than the artist sees an artwork, a duckrabbit is born. A lobed inkblot, seen one way, resembles a duck; seen another, a rabbit. The eye is an eye, but the ears are also a beak. The artist draws a duck; the viewer sees a rabbit. The present show is the public debut of rare and energetic creatures, born in the solitude of the studio, anxious to be seen. The present show is the consummation of a long flirtation between intent and reception.
On view: June 13th – July 26th
What: Opening reception
Where: Anat Ebgi, 2660 La Cienega Blvd.
When: 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
