Maya Hayuk

I'm drawn towards colorful and symmetrical scenes and images, which is why Maya Hayuk's exhibit at the Hammer Museum is perfect for me to visit. Kaleidoscopic colors weave through massive wall murals that look gorgeous in their entirety, but take a closer look at the interaction between the straight and curved lines and notice the dripping paint details. There's still time to catch her work on display, so be the one to spread the news to your friends!

Risk: Metallic Tissue

Catch typography street artist, Risk, at his exhibit, Metallic Tissue. The graffiti veteran of 30 years not only paints on portions of the gallery's walls, but he also uses mixed media and styles to extend the limits of what traditional graffiti can do. Get out of the alleyways and into the galleries to develop a different perspective on how far graffiti can go.

Phil Frost Solace of the Sword

New York artist Phil Frost is exhibiting his mixed media on cavas work at ACE Gallery. He was first known in the early 1990s for his street art in New York, which he later brought to Los Angeles. In fact, he altered a Samuel Bayer's billboard in Los Angeles, only to have it stolen by someone who hopefully has the space to display the billboard work properly. Frost transitioned to gallery works, where he uses object constructions with multi-layered portraits and graphic symbols laid out on a canvas. His pieces almost seem like a comical depiction of an urban tribe, but the multi-colored patterns are nothing to laugh at. Find Phil Frost's exhibit, Solace of the Sword, at ACE Gallery.
