Thinkspace Gallery present Dreamgirls & Ukes, the debut Los Angeles solo show from Portland based artist Amy Crehore, opening Friday, February 13th.
This exhibition will feature new paintings on both linen and antique ukuleles as well as an installation and a special performance. In addition to Dreamgirls & Ukes, they will also be presenting the debut solo show from local artist Anthony Clarkson.
Amy Crehore’s solo exhibit will feature a new series of oil paintings of playful, iconic nudes and will introduce some new characters. Ukuleles will play a role in these new narratives, giving the works musical ambience.
Crehore has also painted over a dozen antique ukuleles as part of this special exhibit. On these ukes, she will incorporate motifs from her paintings, plus she will be adding creative type and logo design. Crehore’s band, The Hokum Scorchers (duo), will be giving a rare musical performance during the opening night reception of blues, rags and jug band songs from the 1920s and 30s, so make sure to head out to Thinkspace on the 13th. You’ve got quite a lot in store for you!
