Jodi Bonassi, “Time Cuts”, Oil on Canvas, 24x24in, 2011
Jodi Bonassi is a Log Angeles artist who makes surreal paintings based on real life social spaces.
I record moments with my sketch pad. Coffee houses and Barber Shops. People slip into the chairs as if they are letting go of all this stress. It’s hard to text or be on the phone in a barber chair. Someone nurtures them for a few minutes before throwing them back into the world of global ants. I see patrons talking to the barber who’s this temporary therapist. I wonder what the barber is really thinking. Everyone’s talking all the time, even if we can’t hear them.

Jodi Bonassi, “Jacob’s Dollhouse”, 36 x 48, Oil on Canvas
Posted in Art, los angeles artist
DINAH KIRGO is an Emmy award-winning TV show writer turned Fine Artist. Her dense collages swirl with lively imagery that pulls from the past, which merge with the present. Her work stems from a series of childhood hallucinations she experienced after a family trip viewing Europe’s circuses.
“Pink Owl”, Collage on Paper
Kirgo painstakingly hand cuts each tiny piece, often grabbing images that intrigue her from the internet. Most of these images harken back to an other-worldly past. The viewer is impacted with a constellation of historical “bits”. Animals, both real and fictitious, along with references to magic and the occult flood the viewer in a dense web. A hauntingly beautiful, chaotic and whimsical past is brought forward, and the great search begins…
