On Thursday, May 14th 2015 Art Share L.A. will host a cocktail reception gala event to raise money to fund their mission of supporting emerging artists by providing a creative arts center in rapidly growing Arts District of Downtown Los Angeles. Honoree Kent Twitchell is providing 8 images from his 40-year career and 2 never-before-seen images to be displayed on a network of billboards to create a public art exhibition throughout Los Angeles provided by Clear Channel Outdoor.
Kent Twitchell has been creating murals in Los Angeles since 1971 when he created a 30’ tall image of Steve McQueen. Images included in this project include the famous mural portrait “The Hollywood Freeway Lady”, “LA Chamber Orchestra”, “LA Marathon Runners”, “Lita Albuquerque Monument” and never before displayed “Michael Jackson Monument” and the soon to be painted “The Return on Ed Ruscha”. All featured images will be on display and for purchase at Above the Streets gala event.
Above the Streets will be an evening of celebration from 6:00 – 10:00PM. Art Share’s creative center will be fully activated with a silent auction highlighting emerging artists works, passed food and cocktails provided by Traxx Restaurant, and a program presenting Kent Twitchell with the Esteemed Artists Award by Isabel Rojas-Williams of the Mural Conservancy of Los Angeles (MCLA).
Confirmed Billboard Locations Include:
· Venice @ Motor
· La Cienega @ Jefferson
· Wilshire @ Western
· La Cienega @ Horner
· Cotner @ Pico

"Communing with the Ancestors" Ulla Anobile and guest artists.
“Communing with the Ancestors”
Scheduled to run: April 11 - May 5, 2015
RECEPTION: Sat., April 11 * 6p-9p
ADDRESS: 3001 North Coolidge Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90039
In putting together this show Sandra Mastroianni asked featured artist Ulla Anobile, whose 70th birthday prompted the show, to gather some of her thoughts, which you can read below.
The theme can mean so many different things. It can be as complex as trying to understand the heritage and beliefs of a particular society and the traditions we grew up with and continue with loyalty. Or it can be as simple as the feeling one gets when looking at a photograph of a grandparent. Or it can be all the unanswered questions regarding one's ancestry.
VIA ULLA ANOBILE: ”As I've grown older, understanding where I came from has become increasingly important. Now, looking at the improbable age of 70, communing with the ancestors, hearing what they may have to tell me, seems necessary, even vital.
So many of us have lost the connection to our roots and to the ancestral soil through various upheavals, dislocations, losses, neglect. To me, the ancestral soil means not only the physical dirt and its location (though those matter too, a lot!) but also the cultural, emotional and spiritual background from which I emerged. It has become clear to me that I've not only inherited the physical DNA of my ancestors, but also, to a great extent, the DNA of my psyche.
I've come to realize that the ancestral connection can be found in startling ways. It can be a strong reaction to a piece of music, or a surge of emotion when seeing an old photo, or a sense of recognition when reading about old customs, traditions and beliefs. Even seeing a map or a list of names found on the Internet can bring up a memory even where memories should not exist. Saying aloud the name of a lake, river or village can create a spark: yes, that is where my roots are, that is where my unknown ancestors once lived.
I've felt a sense of belonging when touching a material - wood, bark, burlap - that was important in my cultural background. I've felt it when putting the needle through cloth in the repetitive work of cross-stitching. A glimpse of a color - the combination of red and black, in my case - can awaken a deep response. So can connecting with an animal that turns out to have been of totemic importance.
Traces of the ancestral past do remain alive in the present: in stories heard, songs sung, words used, sayings and proverbs repeated, a dialect spoken, rituals clung to. Some of us have family bibles, even drawings of family trees; others have just a vacuum filled with the vaguest recollections. But I do believe that by making an effort to create a connection to those who came before us - however that is accomplished - can make us just a little bit wiser, just a little bit more whole."
Sandra Mastroianni
Thank you to Ulla and Sandra for including me in this amazing show. I am very excited to show a few new pieces I am working on. As soon as they are finished I will share them here. You can contact Sandra if your interested in owning them.
