Art attack: Cella Gallery's 'Uncensored' show
When we came across a flyer for Cella Gallery's latest exhibit, we were left red-faced at never having heard of the NoHo gallery. But unlike the last time we got drunk at a wedding, the embarrassment didn't last long, as we learned that the little space just opened last month.
Yes, we missed the first show, but we'll have a second chance at "Uncensored," opening this weekend and featuring work by artists we've seen all over L.A. walls. The concept of letting painters and digital artists let their brushes and brains run amok—uncensored and unencumbered by the gallery's input—makes for a group show of uncommon candor, tackling everything from sexism to politics. In fact, so raw is the content that minors will not be admitted, and the press release sternly advises, "WARNING: This show contains graphic language and imagery that may not be suitable for everyone." Sounds like our kind of party.
Head to the Val to check out work by Stephan Canthal, Robert Macdonald, Dan Madigan and Jackie Stanton. And as long as you're up there, swing by NoBar for a drink or Ce Fiore for yogurt on the way back. That's what we'd do.
