SEPTEMBER'S THEME

OK, so the votes are in...
September's theme is:

The OCD: The obsessive-compulsive disorders of people in beach communities

Have fun with it! I know you only have 9 days to come up with something, but I know all you creative minded people tend to work better under pressure! Have fun with it!

And remember, if you can't do the theme, that's OK - the theme is just a suggestion. Just bring something that you've done recently.

Looking forward to it! And don't worry, I'll remind you again next week...

LMan Gallery, Chinatown



In Thursday's Los Angeles Times Calendar section, the cover story To Look and Buy in L.A. - four insiders show that you don't have to be rich to collect art highlighted our gallery and current exhibition Asian Aesthetic? as one of the places for affordable art and to start a collection. According to the article about one of the four art collecting insiders, ".....at the LMAN gallery, where a show called "Asian Aesthetic?" looks at non-Asian artists who bear some kinship with the East's art tradition. A tiny canvas by Mark Masyga, in which he placed broken rectangles against a plain background, struck her as "like an interest puzzle to look at," one that made fresh use of color and was a good value at $500."

This show has received many good comments, from Artforum to Los Angeles Times and internet websites. It will close at the end of this Sat, 8/27. Please come to see the exhibit and give us feedbacks.
