Any Eastside Los Angeles art collectors in the house? Downtown Los Angeles is exploding with new art shows and art galleries and The Gabba Gallery is no exception to the rule.
Everyone knows second Thursday of each month rain or shine is DTLAs infamous Art-walk. The festivities stretch throughout the Historic Core with a focal point on Spring Street between 5th and 6th street. If crowds aren’t your “thing”. The Last Book Store is the last place you’ll want to be on Art-Walk night. The building is packed shoulder to shoulder with some of Los Angeles’ finest.
Anyhow, this post is blabbing on about The Gabba Gallery so read on, hippie. The Gabba Gallery invites to the opening of LAYERS, four simultaneous solo exhibitions featuring the work of artists Essi Zimm, Tōshee, Nicholas Bonamy, and Joey Feldman. Curated by Jason Ostro. Music by DJ Jonathan Williams. Richeeze Gourmet Grilled Cheese Food Truck. Sponsored by Perrier. How do you like them apples?

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Essi Zimm’s artwork delves into fairy tales and indigenous legends with mixed media layers of paper, pencil, ink, paint and more. The characters and meanings of these colorful stories are evoked through guttural marks as the viewer explores Zimm’s visual translations.
Influenced by his graphic design background, Tōshee employs bold, vibrant elements to arrest the viewer’s gaze. His technique incorporates both additive and subtractive processes with paint, pencil, ink, epoxy, and stencils that come together to produce images reminiscent of Eastern art.
The work of Nicholas Bonamy reflects the many layers of contemporary life happening all at once. Actions, thoughts, and dreams are revealed differently from every distance as the viewer’s focus drifts from one perspective to another in an experience akin to daydreaming while driving.
Fun is what you feel when viewing the characters exposed in the exuberant artworks of Joey Feldman. His colorful use of mixed media and gestural marks, lines, and layers ultimately add up to an energetic portrait of the eccentricities revealed in a character.
