Let us share with you our visit to the Beverly Hills Art Show last weekend where creativity knows no bounds, where artistry meets sophistication, and where every brushstroke tells a story. The Beverly Hills Art Show was held from May 18th to 19th, and it was more enchanting than ever before!
The Beverly Hills Art Show is a renowned event that celebrates art and creativity in the heart of Beverly Hills, California. Held multiple times throughout the year, typically in May and October, the art show brings together artists, collectors, and art enthusiasts from around the world. The venue is at Beverly Gardens Park where you can find the iconic Beverly Hills sign.
Set on 4 blocks along Santa Monica Blvd between Roden and Rexford Drive, the event was big and attracting so many visitors. We circled around the blocks multiple times to find parking, haha.
This year, the show featured 230 artists exhibiting their original works in various mediums - sculptures, paintings, photography, NFTs, glass art, woodwork, metal works, mixed media, and many more.
Artists showcased their latest creations, providing attendees with the opportunity to explore and purchase unique pieces directly from the creators themselves. Below are some of the interesting artists we resonated with.
[Liisa Liiva]
Liisa Liiva is a visionary contemporary artist whose work defies convention and sparks the imagination. With a bold and dynamic style, Liiva creates art that transcends boundaries, blending elements of surrealism, abstraction, and fantasy to mesmerizing effect.
Her vibrant and expressive paintings often feature intricate details, vibrant colors, and otherworldly landscapes that invite viewers on a journey of exploration and discovery.
[Linda Donohue]
Linda Donohue is a contemporary artist celebrated for her captivating fine art creations. With a masterful command of color, light, and form, Donohue's work transcends traditional boundaries, inviting viewers into a world of imagination and emotion. Her paintings often evoke a sense of serenity and introspection, with ethereal landscapes and dreamlike scenes that transport observers to distant realms.
[Ed Alton Mobiles]
Inspired by nature, mythology, and the human experience, Donohue's art reflects a profound connection to the world around her, capturing the essence of fleeting moments with grace and elegance. Through her meticulous brushwork and intuitive approach, she invites viewers to pause, reflect, and discover beauty in the simplicity of life.
Ed Alton Mobiles is a name synonymous with creativity and innovation in the world of kinetic art. Renowned for his mesmerizing mobile sculptures, Ed Alton combines precision engineering with artistic flair to create dynamic works that dance with the slightest breeze.
Each mobile is meticulously crafted with an emphasis on balance, movement, and form, resulting in a harmonious interplay of shapes and colors that captivate the eye and stimulate the imagination.
[Hong Rubinstein]
Hong Rubinstein is a multifaceted artist whose work transcends traditional boundaries, blending elements of realism, abstraction, and surrealism to create captivating visual narratives.
Drawing inspiration from personal experiences, dreams, and the world around her, Rubinstein infuses her art with emotional depth and symbolism, capturing fleeting moments with a sense of poignancy and grace.
[Adam Homan]
Adam Homan Metal Sculpture represents the marriage of craftsmanship, creativity, and industrial ingenuity. With a background in metalworking and a passion for sculptural expression, Homan creates awe-inspiring pieces that push the boundaries of the medium.
His sculptures, often monumental in scale, command attention with their bold forms, intricate detailing, and dynamic compositions. From abstract designs that seem to defy gravity to figurative works that capture the essence of movement and emotion, Homan's artistry knows no bounds. Utilizing a diverse range of metals, including steel, bronze, and aluminum, he employs techniques such as welding, forging, and casting to bring his visions to life with unparalleled precision and finesse.
Each sculpture tells a story, inviting viewers to engage with the interplay of light and shadow, texture and form, and to contemplate the beauty and complexity of the world around them.
In addition to the art exhibitions, the Beverly Hills Art Show included live music performances, interactive art installations, food vendors, and other entertainment options, creating a vibrant and engaging atmosphere for visitors of all ages.
The Beverly Hills Art Show is not only a platform for artists to showcase their talents but also a cultural event that enriches the community and fosters a deeper appreciation for the arts. It attracts both local residents and visitors from afar, offering an immersive and memorable experience in one of the world's most iconic destinations.
[Josh Mayhem]
The Josh Mayhem booth seemed to be attracting the most crowd. Situated at a prime lot, the booth was full of spectators experiencing his art. Josh Mayhem is a contemporary artist known for his unique and innovative approach to customizing designer toys and creating stunning sculptures.
With a distinctive style that combines elements of street art, graffiti, and pop culture, Mayhem transforms ordinary objects into mesmerizing works of art, often incorporating vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and a touch of whimsy.
His "Blown Away" series, in which he adds explosive bursts of color and texture to vinyl figures, has garnered widespread acclaim and a dedicated following.
Through his art, Mayhem explores themes of chaos, transformation, and individuality, inviting viewers to see familiar objects in a new and unexpected light.
As huge fans of Medicom Toy's Bearbricks, we were excited to see this 1000% Bearbrick.
How unique!
It was such a fun and enriching event. We are definitely attending again in the fall. And we are hinting we purchased some artworks at the show. We'll do a separate post on those.
May the colors of the paintings, the shapes of the sculptures, and the melodies of the music continue to resonate within us, reminding us of the boundless potential of human imagination.
Until next time,
Logan & Chloe
