For its fourth edition, Art Los Angeles Contemporary (ALAC) has reached cruising speed and took the market leadership as the most interesting Contemporary Art fair of Los Angeles to represent the contemporary international art scene. Very local in its infancy, ALAC gradually gain the confidence of foreign galleries who no longer hesitate to invest in the salon.
This year, Europe was well represented with galleries from London, Gateshead, Milan, Vienna, Frankfurt and Berlin as well as Paris for which the French American event held by the French Consulate in Los Angeles was incentive. More than 7 Parisian galleries was counted  against 1 Parisian gallery last year with the Galerie Zürcher. For the rest, we could notice the usual circle gallery in New York, Miami and Los Angeles. Among regretted absences could be noted that of iconic Los Angeles contemporary art scene with Patrick Painter Gallery.

This new mature Art fair also hosted a comprehensive programming series, including world class artist talks, museum curator led panel discussions, and film screening and performance series. Plus a VIP program to keep the collectors in the LA mood.

# 1
be-Art best hanging-and-show Award goes to:
Tracy Williams Ltd Gallery from New York

On the right wall, installation of small paper sizes (dollars) Murad Khan Mumtaz, facing him two large papers Alyssa Pheobus Mumtaz and bottom installation papers Simryn Gill. A conversation or rather an almost palpable tension emanated from the simplicity of these three artworks.

#2 is
Pablo RASGADO

with Steve Turner Contemporary / Los Angeles

This very young Mexican artist found a very interesting path to dig out. He cuts and puts together some pieces of wall on a canvas like with a puzzle. Those pieces of walls are like amputees, uprooted from their original context and not at all ready for a second life if one considers the visible shape of inachevement of the work presented. Moreover, as the artists forces those pieces to be contained on a surface they might ressemble to a slave who has to do well and be nice for its collector once it is hanged in the living room. Brilliant!

 

 

#3 is

Philippe MAYAUX and DEWAR &GICQUEL
at Loevenbruck Galerie / Paris

Philippe MAYAUX received French Marcel Duchamps Prize a few years ago and English Daniel DEWAR with French Grégory GICQUEL just won the same Prize this year. From clay to marble or from tapestry to ceramic, those two guys explore all the vocabulary that sculpture can possibly offers.

#4 is

Maxime ROSSI

at GDM Galerie de Multiples / Paris

Time is one of the main materials for this young French artist Maxime ROSSI. The time to make each piece of art which is itself an object borrowed from the past. So the viewer must also take his time to explore this subtle artwork.

 

 #5

Channa HORWITZ & Neil BELOUFA
at François Ghebaly Gallery / Los Angeles

Both artists were gathered there for the enjoyment of visitors. If apparently they are very different -one is pretty old when the other is young, one is American and knows a late glory when the other is at the height of his fame- they have in common to develop a language of their own and create a aesthetic universe very personal and exciting
