Jorge Marin – Reflection and Balance – Couturier Gallery
If you walked near the Museum of Anthropology de la Reforma in Mexico back in 2010, you probably spotted a few outdoor statues of wings and winged figures. They came to life through the talented hands of Mexican sculptor Jorge Marin who will soon show in this city of Angels. “Reflection and Balance” includes sculptures of everything from circus figures to babies. Marin enjoys using bronze to depict movement as he captures scenes like a circus figure balancing himself upside down on a giant ball. Check out his work at the opening reception at Couturier Gallery January 12 at 6 p.m. Circus tent not included.
Couturier Gallery 166 N. La Brea Ave Los Angeles, CA 90036 (323) 933-5557
Mario Ybarra Jr. – Double Feature – Honor Fraser
There’s nothing better than a double feature for film lovers, so art and pop culture fiends will get a treat with Mario Ybarra Jr’s “Double Feature.” The show combines two installations centering around the idea of popular culture, Ybarra’s background and artistic themes. In “Universal Monsters,” the artist takes a look in the mirror at Universal Studios’ ‘20s and ‘60s flicks to create fascinating self-portraits. Speaking of a man in a mirror, Ybarra also screens Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” alongside “An American Werewolf in London.” Then you can pay homage to “Scarface” in “Scarface Museum,” a collection of objects related to the film. Que mas quieres? Head to Honor Fraser for opening night January 12 at 6 p.m. Bring those film buff friends of yours, too.
