Gana Art LA is thrilled to present “Companions,” a heartfelt exploration of camaraderie, intimacy, and the joy found in human-nature connections, from the artist’s closest domestic animals to animal-inspired icons that frequently manifest in the artist’s work. This exhibition brings together six artists, each offering a unique perspective on the theme through various mediums. Including sketches, mixed sculptures, and paintings, each artist brings their distinct voice and artistic approach, enriching the narrative of companionship through diverse styles and techniques. The show delves into the nuances of companionship—both real and imagined—capturing moments of laughter, remembrance, and fantasy. From vibrant paintings that evoke memories of shared adventures to sculptures that embody the bonds of trust and understanding, the artworks celebrate the beauty and complexity of human-nature connections and companionship. Through this collective endeavor, we aim to create an atmosphere of warmth and contemplation where visitors can engage with the essence of friendship in its many forms. We hope that our artworks inspire moments of reflection, gratitude, and recognition of the profound impact of human connections. Artists: Eddie Kang, So Youn Lee, Aaron Johnson, Hyangmok Baik, Kadar Brock, Tim Irani
