FRIEZE LA kicked off with “Black Euphoria,” curated by ARTonchain founder, Ronel Similien.
The international art dealer started LA’s buzziest art week paying homage to Black History Month, with a group showcase highlighting diverse artists on the rise. Featured artists included Amani Lewis, Kenrick Mcfarlane, Sisson, Reginald Westly Armstrong, Daniel T. Gaitor-Lomack.
In a brand new space in West Hollywood, Similien’s intimate VIP opening boasted a healthy flow of visitors well into the evening. The night included a live installation by conceptual artist Daniel Tyree Gaitor-Lomack, who was coined the talk of the LA art scene by ArtNet early last year.
More works were added to the show for the public opening – A gift from Similien to the many return attendees, and a testament to his dynamic curatorial style. The show is on view by appointment only through March 4th.
Catch them at ArtWalk on March 1st from 11am to 7pm.
