On Friday, January 25, The Rendon Gallery (located at 2055 E 7th Street, Los Angeles) opens its doors to the public for the first time. Named for the historic Rendon Hotel in which it is situated, The Rendon Gallery will provide a supportive platform for a diverse range of local and international artists.
“We want to represent the underserved artists in L.A. and from around the world—artists that are not necessarily commercial, but have a lot to say and have a unique perspective. We want to grab the really interesting work that’s falling through the cracks of the very commercial art scene that exists in the world today.” – Ralph Ziman, co-founder, The Rendon Gallery
The debut exhibit, BLEND, is a pop-up show featuring the work of L.A. artist Kelcey Fisher, a.k.a KFiSH, in collaboration with other artists. It will be open to the public on Friday, January 25, from 6 PM to 10 PM, and Saturday, January 26, from 11 AM. to 5 PM.
BLEND will include collaborative work from Zachary Bennett-Brook, Kyle Boatwright, Armando Dela, Gabe Gault, Davia King, Colette Miller, Moncho 1929, Vero Villareal Sada, Tiaan Schreuder, Shplinton, Priscilla Carpenter Witte, Ralph Ziman, and Yanoe, among others.
Three of the featured artists—King, Boatwright, and Gault—previously worked with KFiSH on an art project at the Nipton Resort in Nipton, California. They used vintage cars as their canvases, and the custom-painted cars will be on display in the Rendon’s parking lot during BLEND.
Sponsors include Coronado Brewing Company, Rebel Coast Winery, and The Venice Whaler.
