The Gallery: Audrey Kawasaki

We were first exposed to the sensual works of Audrey Kawasaki via the world of LiveJournal. It was definitely a bad case of lust at first sight, and we've been adoringly pining after her paintings ever since (we definitely regret not acquiring one of her earlier works before she rightfully became a collector's favourite).

Influenced by Alphonse Mucha and Gustav Klimt, Silver Lake resident Kawasaki paintings somehow float into the delicate realm between dangerous sensuality and innocent youth. Nabokov would have loved her.

Kawasaki is currently headlining an amazing lineup of 115 young artists labeled as part of "The Movement" at Thinkspace gallery in Silver Lake. Catch Audrey's mesmerizing installation "The Karakuri Sisters" this coming weekend, from the 15th-17th, during special ART CRAWL hours: Friday, 1:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and Saturday and Sunday -Noon to 6:00pm.

I'm completely in love with her work. I wish she had more prints and paintings availble to buy...She is so talented and really inspiring. Too bad I'm all the way in NY.. I would love to go to the opening.

I remember seeing her in group shows a long while back selling her paintings for around $200-300, what a fool I was to think "ah, I can always catch her around again".
