About the Exhibit: Keystone Art Space
is pleased to exhibit the work of artist Krista Machovina. Machovina’s oil on panel paintings capture
the liminal spaces of no longer and not yet through the metaphor of the sea and
sky. The almost abstract images that
result evoke the tonalist and color field movement, with an emotive element
that makes the viewer feel they stand before a portrait a of a well studied and
familiar visage. These works are quiet,
meditative spaces in which a moment of calm can be found at this gallery within
the heart of bustling and industrial growing arts region of North East Los
Angeles. A portion of proceeds from
sales of this exhibit will benefit
Create LA and The Art of Elysium.
