Beautiful Week

As we close our first week of "Living Between Worlds," we're so excited to have a such an incredible show to look at everyday. If you haven't taken a look at the whole show, you're just not as smart as you think you are. BUT, you can fix that by CLICKING HERE. An absolutely stunning show from Kathie Olivas and Brandt Peters.

And here are some pictures from the opening reception, mostly of the band "The Peculiar Pretzelmen," who put on quite the show for attendees.







And here are some pictures of Kathie and Brandt's installations from the show, which are art pieces all themselves.



That one also lights up with tons of colors at night...









You've got until the 23rd to see this show live at G1988:LA, so stop by and say hello.

The Worlds

We're getting closer to the opening of the Kathie Olivas/Brandt Peters show here at G1988:LA, and since we've kept everyone in the dark about what you might see if you come by the opening reception Friday night, 6-10 PM, it's time for a little blog sneak peek. This show is incredible and really comes across as a field trip to the worlds that both of these artists live in. So many elements, I figured I'd give you a feel of each...



Collaboration painting from Kathie and Brandt. I'm not always a fan of collaboration pieces, but Kathie and Brandt really meld their styles together so well. So complimentary to each other, and a cool way to get one piece from two of your favorite artists.



Here's a custom Skelve created for the show. This one is called "Muerte." We have a large group of these customized toys in the show, and each one is better than the next. Like the birth order of the Jackson family. Sort of.



Classic Kathie sculpture. LOVE this one.



One of the many "Pull Toys" in the show, it's an incredible wood cut out on wheels. SO DOPE.

Anyway, that's all you get. You'll have to come by the opening reception, where both Kathie and Brandt will be in attendance, to see more. This Friday night, 7-10 PM, take the field trip with us.

Knock Out and Batting Practice

Finding preview pictures in your inbox from Kathie Olivas and Brandt Peters is like find a hundred dollar bill in old jean pockets. It's a mitzvah as my people (I'm half) would say. And today, the email was awesome. We got two previews for their show "Living Between Worlds," which opens on April 2nd, in a rare G1988:LA Friday night opening. And here they are...



One of the many actual Kathie and Brandt collaborations - and the start of many "Pull Toys" you'll see in the show. These have me smiling!



And one of the many, many, many custom Skelves in the show, this one is from the Man, Brandt Peters.

Kathie and Brandt will be here in Los Angeles and are creating their largest installation to date, all to go with the new artwork. Exciting to say the least

Interested in previewing the artwork? Email us at gallery1988@aol.com and make sure to put "PREVIEW LIST" as the subject.

KO & BP

New website up and running, we here at Gallery1988:LA are so amped for our next show "Living Between Worlds," featuring the artwork of Kathie Olivas and Brandt Peters. If you've ever seen a Kathie and Brandt collaboration piece, you know how incredible this show is going to be. Insiders say to look for a ton of custom toys and sculptures in this exhibit, which is most likely music to many of your ears. The show opens Friday, April 2 with a reception from 6-10 PM, where both artists will be in attendance! Kathie and Brandt have been giving some studio tease pics on their Twitter account, so we figured we'd share some with you.













This show is going to be beautiful! Mark down Aoril 2nd now as you will not want to be left out of these worlds.
