Known Gallery  presents three artists with distinctly different vibes, making the opening on February 2 a perfect night for mash-up of friends to descend on the Fairfax.

Amandalynn and Lady Mag who have been setting the streets ablaze from coast to coast with their spray work over the last six months–including a very large scale piece in Miami’s Wynwood District during Art Basel Miami 2012–bring it to Known. If street art is your passion, you’ll be at Known.

Welsh born painterRichard J. Oliver ‘s images touch on the tragedy of children forced to survive in an apocalyptic environment and violently fend for themselves. Oliver transforms the natural instincts of fatherhood and family protection into striking visuals. More recently, portraits have crossed into the dark, brooding world of Grimm’s fairy tales and surrealistic subjects that help convey the emotion and tragedy of our world’s children. Oliver works closely with many charities, most recently donating proceeds to Dreamlovecure.org and City of Hope’s Department of Pediatrics.

Lucien Shapiro sculpts masks from discarded objects, bringing new life to objects no longer used for their their original purpose. His work recalls both African and South Sea Island forms and is visceral, primitive and compelling.

All shows run through February 16.
