Sara Nightingale Gallery opens the group show "LA-X" on Sat (Apr 14) from 6 to 8 p.m. The exhibition presents "mostly under-recognized artists living and working in Los Angeles," according the gallery.

Works on view showcase artists or art movements from 1945 to 1980. “LA-X” begins where the Parrish Show leaves off and presents artists working in LA since the 1980s.
There are 16 artists in the exhibition. They are Sophia Allison, Leon Benn, Michael Blasi, Colin Burns, Karen Chu, Stephanie Farr, J. Bennett Fitts, Alexa Gerrity, Karl Hahn, Joshua Levine, Devon Oder, Josh Peters, Colin Roberts, Cole Sternberg, Nicola Vruwink and Annie Wharton.

The pair are long-time friends and artists who exhibit together for the first time in “PURE PLEASURE.” Roe grew up in Cape Cod. Her first oil painting was made in Ellis’s garden studio in Cape Cod, according to the gallery.
Ellis began with landscaping paintings before focusing on mixed media and collage, according to a release. His work in influenced by the things he finds and gathers from the shorelines. The unqiue character of each found object becomes exalted in his art.
