Amandalynn at Carmichael Gallery

California-based artist Amandalynn paints canvases, motorcycles, and murals, but her current exhibition, “move A head” at West Hollywood’s Carmichael Gallery has put the street artist into a uniquely naturalistic context. Last Saturday, Amandalynn’s nymph-like ladies — which can frequently be spotted around town as part of murals by boys like Saber and Revok — were paired with the floral art of L.A.’s Renee Fontana, creating an organic/manufactured environment that mashed bright paint with leafy bursts of shrubbery (man I love that word). We didn’t make it to the opening, but pictures we’ve spotted since are making us turn wistful gazes towards the West coast. So if you call that area home, get thee to La Brea Avenue.
