Thanks Google... more about Wondeland Gallery

People living in L.A or visited don't need to keep reading.

Wonderland Gallery is the new platform for Kat von D and it's gonna be open right next to High Voltage Tattoo Shop, on the corner.

What kind of business the previous local was? Unsurprisingly, an art gallery too.

If you ever visited the shop or live in L.A, there's no "spoiler" for you in this post :)

It was called Carmichael Gallery and opened in August 2007, same year than HVT.
This Gallery of Contemporary Art moved to 5975 Washington Blvd recently.
The previous adress  from La Brea appears in promos for exhibitions from July, this year.
Take a look to past shows  or artists and you'll discover really interesting artworks. 

 I'd like to know if the idea of starting this new project began when the owners moved or earlier.

Nothing has been said about the direction of the project but the Opening Exhibition, by Kevin Llewellyn. He is noticed  for his realistic and obscure works. He has painted NIN, Jeffree Star, Nikki Sixx, Karoline von Drachenberg and Kat von D. So, the circle is completed.

I bet Michael Hussar is probably the next candidate to show there. Because of admiration towards him and beacuse of his book, A Decade, that is going to be released by fall in november. If he's not there, I'm sure it's not because Kat hasn't beg for .

All by now, hope you've enjoyed the reseach.

If you are a real fan of Kat von D, you have listened her profess her deep admiration for his art. If you don't you him yet, take a look to his profolio.
Don't miss his new book compiling a decade of art this fall: "White".

Kat and Art: Kevin Lewellyn

A comment on Twitter drived me to enjoy Kevin Lewellyn's art. a stunning californian artist.

If you want to know more about this brilliant artist, read the articled published on Inked Mag (Kat's Feb issue). His website provides an interesting biography also.


His arts reminds me Nikko Hurtado. Michael Hussar. Kevin is more realistic but both share this obscure art in the whole painting. 

What shocked me the most is to finally found out who is the author of one of the paitings that got my attention the most, at High Voltage walls. Every time I watched an episode, I wondered who had painted it.

A kind of Virgin Mary meets Jeffee Star.
 This is Kat von D's collection.

Kat y el Arte: Kevin Lewellyn

A través de un comentario en Twitter he descubierto el arte de Kevin Lewellyn, un artista californiano impactante.

Si queréis saber más sobre este genial artista, aquí encontraréis el artículo publicado en la revista Inked de Febrero y en la misma web su interesante biografía.
Artísticamente me recuerda un poco a Nikko Hurtado. Michael Hussar. El estilo de Kevin es más realista pero los dos tienen un arte un tanto oscuro.

Lo que más me ha impactado es conocer otras de las obras del autor de uno de los cuadros que cuelgan en High Voltage que más me ha llamado la atención estos años.
Una especie de Virgen María a lo Jefree Star.
Siempre que veía un episodio me preguntaba de quién sería.

Ésta es la colección de Kat von D
Aviso: algunas imagenes pueden herir la sensibilidad de menores.

Y el más intrigante de todos: Una Kat vestida de monja con sus manos en posición de rezo con un montón de rosarios enredados.

El cuadro pertenece a la colección de Nikki Sixx.


¡Espero que os haya gustado!
