Maria's co-worker, Franklin Avenue friend Steve Gorman, recently surprised Maria and her work mates by casually mentioning that his work was being displayed at the Milo Gallery on Wilshire.
Turns out Steve is quite an accomplished artist, but had taken a break from showcasing his work. Steve's last show was in 1998 in New York, "Antidepressants, Antacids & the Space Program."
Now, in his first Los Angeles show, Steve has put together "Learned Helplessness." The show, which opened Feb. 10, runs through March 10.
More details from the Gallery website:
Milo Gallery is pleased to exhibit Steve Gorman's first solo show in Los Angeles. He will be presenting a series of mixed-media works on paper and canvas using ink-jet printing, collage, acrylic, marker and colored pencil.
Pieced together from the fragments of the chaotic media landscape we all inhabit, Gorman's work is concerned with addressing the lapsed optimism and exhausted future promised by a space age that ended over thirty years ago. Cheated out of the utopian vision promised by technology, we now sleepwalk through a haze of media-induced numbness and sensory overload. The subsequent demand for psycho-pharmaceuticals, fueled by a pop psychology based on endless self-examination, has become the new frontier.
It's been a successful show -- Steve has already sold several works. Catch it while you still can.
