Art Opening at Coagula Curatorial

Art Opening at Coagula Curatorial

This Saturday evening Lorenzo and I decided to visit the Coagula Curatorial. This art gallery was featuring a new collection called "Real Abstraction" by the artists Jennifer Faist, Frederika Roeder and Jane Park Wells. Each artist had a couple of their pictures exposed in this gallery––which is situated in the pedestrian zone of LA's china town. We found the place after a short search and we started our visit.

The featured artworks as part of "Real Abstraction"

The Curatorial had two rooms which presented the art: a front-room and a backroom. The artworks exposed were pretty similar in both rooms: monochromatic pictures with minor abstract features. These artworks were a little bit too minimalistic to catch my full attention. On the other hand, the other features of the gallery were pretty interesting; especially the Mexican shrine (left) and the bathroom (right) of the place struck my attention. Both were very original and they gave a lot of character to the place. Thanks to a short conversation with the owner, we learned that the shrine was made by an artist for a friend of his. You could definitely see that there is a lot of feeling in that work. 

After our short experience within the art district we decided to explore China Town. We soon realized that this wasn't the only curatorial which was open that night, and we briefly visited all the other ones as well. All of them featured a very different set of art styles. Eventually we also decided to visit the Chinese temple which is very close to the pedestrian zone.
