Our good friend Nicola Verlato, Italian-born but now based in Los Angeles, is opening a show of what he told us is "smaller paintings" at Merry Karnowsky Gallery on Saturday, February 7. What he says in a modest way we say they're epic. "Conquest of the West" features Verlato's signature style; classical drama, modern fairytales, ancient strives. And it looks like he has a sculpture in this new show...
