La Luz de Jesus Gallery is excited to present two exhibitions: *Familiar feeling
and Small bites of imaginary reality.
Familiar feeling is a debut exhibition for local artist, illustrator and muralist
Ashley Dreyfus. She will be exhibiting a new series of artworks with colorful,
vintage inspired palettes and 60s/70s era nostalgia. Many utilize her alter-egos
and anthropomorphized animals and plants, enjoying their best selves, to usher
this wistful affection for the past, despite these all being entirely original designs.

vibes.(Gallery Director)
Small bites of imaginary reality welcomes back Underground comic artist and
American painter Guy Colwell to La Luz with a collection of itty-bitty, teeny-weeny
paintings and ink drawings. Some are early studies of larger, famous works or
smaller narratives better suited for a tiny canvas. Over 100 tiny paintings by Guy
Colwell will be exhibited and with a huge variety of content; from animal portraits
to nude figures to more lowbrow content.
Guy Colwell will also be signing his newest graphic novel at the opening,
Delights: a story of Hieronymus Bosch. An excerpt within the synopsis from
Fantagraphics: in Guy Colwell‘s first full graphic novel in 33 years, we see one
painter, Colwell himself, consider another, Hieronymus Bosch, and the story
behind the latter’s most notable work told in sequential panels. The known details
of Bosch’s life, and the commissioning of his enormous triptych The garden Of
earthly delights, are scant. Colwell takes the facts of Bosch’s time and setting
and constructs a tale of a man and artist torn equally among piety, creativity, and
commerce.
Join us for the opening reception on Friday October 4th from 7pm to 11pm. This
reception is free to attend and RSVP is not required for entry. There is an open
bar in the back but please tip our bartender.
