SMEAR: I'm Tired of Being Sexy
Lawrence Asher Gallery, Los Angeles, CA USA United States of America

Filled with references to growing up in East Hollywood, SMEAR's artwork incorporates these images to create a fascinating puzzle.

Upon closer inspection, the imagination of a non-conformist becomes evident as it unleashed a singular perspective. Lawrence Asher Gallery is located at 5820 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, across the street from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and adjacent to the Craft and Folk Art Museum. Parking is available on Wilshire Blvd., along Stanley Ave and behind 5858 Wilshire Boulevard. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com
