5870 W. Jefferson Blvd. Suite J Los Angeles, CA 90016
Join Saatchi Art's Katherine Henning and Jessica McQueen for an exclusive Artist Talk with Jonas Fisch, presented in conjunction with the exhibition, From the Street.Hailed by Saatchi Art curators as "One to Watch," Fisch's vibrantly-colored abstract paintings are inspired by street art and recall artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat and Jackson Pollock. By combining figure, word, and shake in a single composition, he aims to express his innermost thoughts and feelings.Fisch and From the Street's up-and-coming artists create work that collectively represent an exploration of Los Angeles–from its inhabitants to its architecture. Continuing the rich genre of Street and Pop art, which have been a vibrant part of urban life in L.A. since the 1970s, From the Street presents a range of works from the portraiture and figurative to abstract and cityscapes. Many of the works possess a light and humorous tone, characterized by references to pop culture, and playful subjects such as donut-eating contests and gorillas getting haircuts. Others delve into more serious subjects, exploring the cult of celebrity and the grittier side of the City of
Angels.In what figures to be another sell-out salon, this is a one-time opportunity to see the exhibition before it closes and celebrate the release of Fisch's forthcoming limited edition
print.RSVP here by February 15th:
