Gallery Revisited Revisited Revisited Revisited: 2003 - 2007
4 years of curated exhibits: Accessible Art with Content
New work by artists who have had solo, 2 or 3 person shows at Gallery Revisited. This event celebrates the gallery's perseverance in a transitory business world and the passions that drive people to make a difference.
Reception for the Artists, Press and Public: January 26th 6pm - 10pm
Show ends February 23rd.
In 2003 Leora Lutz opened Gallery Revisited on the 3rd floor of a 9-story building in China Town/Los Angeles. The location was an instant curiosity - its surrounding halls reeked of urine, were flanked by seamstress shops and the view overlooked the twin jail towers.
In 2005 Lutz took the gallery to Silver Lake in order to establish a destination where people could integrate art into their daily routine - a neighborhood gallery surrounded by retail and restaurants, where stereotypes fall by the wayside and art can be understood on an accessible level.
Gallery Revisited has been recognized for the range of genre represented - from murals to conceptual installation to abstract expressionism to pop surrealism. This eclectic, yet carefully edited assortment allows for variety in curation and collecting potential, while perpetuating an important autonomy between each artist.
"For artists, a show is as scary as one of those naked dreams. They have just taken the by-products of a long solitary process and very personal time, and put it out there for all the public to see and scrutinize. So when people "get it" it is really rewarding for everyone involved." - LL
Some of the artists in the 4 year anniversary show had their first solo show at Gallery Revisited and have since gone on to work with tenure galleries. All of them have been working on amazing projects and developing their work while several of them continue to be part of the Revisited core artists.
Lutz fosters integrity by curating shows with work driven by content. This careful attention to concepts and presentation has resulted in editorial credibility by several media sources, including NBC News, LA Times, ArtWeek, Artscene, Art US, Juxtapoz, numerous independent blogs and street recognition as well.
