Guided by the leadership of LA Art Show producer and director Kassandra Voyagis, this year’s fair has a variety of programming intended to inspire.

“We’re back with a bang,” said Voyagis. “I’m blown away by the scope of work represented at this year’s show and incredibly honored to help bring it all together. We’re welcoming an extraordinary group of diverse global artists and galleries, learning from each other, and sparking important conversations.”

The Fair’s non-commercial program, and cultural anchor, DIVERSEartLA returns with an ambitious agenda, addressing the global climate crisis. The 2023 edition, curated by Marisa Caichiolo, includes eight art institutions, museums and non-profits presenting an interdisciplinary solo project from video installations and immersive experiences to augmented reality and community-oriented projects, which examine not just how the environment is represented in art but how humanity’s place in the world is depicted.

Since 2015, the LA Art Show has been a strong and unwavering supporter of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® donating 15% of all ticket proceeds to St. Jude and its life-saving mission, the LA Art Show is proud to bring together St. Jude and the art community. @laartshow

Lorin Gallery is proud to announce and welcome back

Erin Milez for a solo exhibition. Her exhibition, “Two Bodies, One Mind”, will run from February 14thMarch 11th, 2pm to 4pm and features a series of her most recent large-scale artwork.

Erin Milez’s vibrant, expressive exhibition consists of 10 large-scale paintings and 4 watercolor works on paper that depict her subjects in a variety of everyday life. Milez has produced a solo show that not only captivates the audience but also stirs emotion on first impression.

In her new series, the artist portrays the parents' bodies as wide and bending, showing bot their enthusiasm and exhaustion as they finish the day's tasks. These depictions draw inspiration from historical works of art that depict laborers, such as the works of Jean-Francois Millet, Gustave Courbet, and Vincent Van Gogh.

Recollections of Millet’s “The Gleaners,” Van Gogh’s “The Siesta” (After Millet), and Tooker’s “Night”, are reinterpreted into this interior domestic life of modern-day parents.

Born in 1994, Erin Milez grew up in Chicago and has lived in both Seattle and the New York City. In 2021, she earned her BA in Studio Art from Seattle Pacific University and her MFA from the New York Academy of Art.

Milez has been a recipient of the Elizabeth Greenshields Grant and was featured in Art Maze Mag Issue 26. Her work has been exhibited in various galleries, including Monya Rowe Gallery, Cob Gallery, Kutlesa Gallery, and Badr El Jundi Gallery. She currently resides in Bayonne, NJ with her husband and daughter.

The exhibit will take place at Lorin Gallery - La Brea located at 607 N. La Brea Ave, LA CA, 90036. @loringalleryla
