ART IS FOR EVERYONE
L.A. ARTIST AWAN DROPS FIRST ART SHOW OF THE YEAR APRIL 28TH IN DOWNTOWN L.A. L.A. based artist Awan (Eric Welch), will be holding his first art show of the year on April 28, 2018 in downtown Los Angeles. This show brings a fresh street art perspective to the artist’s work and will contain pieces by fellow artists Alexander Stasko, Joel Cocciolone and Alexander D. Paul. Those who like to take in some spirits with their culture will be happy knowing a full cash bar is provided. Patrons in attendance will also be glad to find DJ Lani Love on the turn tables, setting the backdrop for a good time and keeping the party going through the night! Awan, a self-taught artist, started drawing as a child. He later came into his own art style while navigating through some personal hardships. During this time he found himself with a growing appreciation for the “ hard working everyday people” he encountered. In them he found his inspiration. His art reflects the pain, love, happiness and struggle we all encounter. “I just want to create an emotional connection for the people seeing my work. That's the way I can give something back to the people.” For the majority of the artists in the show the use of color is important and often explosive. It first catches the eye and then lures one in for a second look to study the compositions’ details. In this show, Awan’s showcasing his ever evolving style by reflecting his love for street art. As a child he wasn’t able to visit museums and the beautiful masterpieces that they hold. Street art takes what once was held inside four walls for only those who could afford it and reveals it’s brilliance to the masses. Street art proves that “art is for everyone”. Upon entering, guests will walk in to a large art instillation reminiscent of a tagged NYC subway car, setting the tone for the street art inspired show. The venue will be familiar to art fans, being that it is in the same location as Awan’s breakout L.A. show of 2017. Bar will include $5 mixed drinks, $2 beer and some surprise “freebies” for those in attendance.
