Gabba Gallery Presents Two Solo Shows: Stephania Gambaroff "YOLO" and Douglas Alvarez "Wildlife Is Beautiful"

Gabba Gallery Presents Two Solo Shows

YOLO
Stephania Gambaroff

WILDLIFE IS BEAUTIFUL
Douglas Alvarez

Opening Saturday, January 22, 2022
7-11pm

Gabba Gallery invites you to two exciting new solo shows by Los Angeles-based artists, Stephania Gambaroff and Douglas Alvarez. Curated by Jason Ostro and Elena Jacobson, both shows open January 22.

Stephania Gambaroff wows with her bold new solo exhibition, YOLO. As the saying goes, “you only live once,” and Gambaroff’s show perfectly captures that exuberant spirit. Richly textured oil paintings weave together the unmistakable precision of a formally trained artist with the gritty urgency and evocative energy of LA street art. Better yet, 100% of the artist’s proceeds will be donated to Love More LA, a local non-profit dedicated to providing food for those in need. Don’t miss Gambaroff’s magnificent show cuz, you know—YOLO!!

Douglas Alvarez presents Wildlife is Beautiful, a whimsical collection of animal paintings. Alvarez’s critters, rendered in grayscale with gold accents, are adorable and endearing. A raccoon sports a Los Angeles hoodie. A bear lounges in a camping tent. Even P-22, Griffith Park’s legendary mountain lion, makes an appearance—donning a golden crown no less. Prepare to be charmed by Alvarez and his delightful menagerie.

The opening night reception for both shows takes place Saturday, January 22, 7-11pm.  The event is free and open to the public; no RSVP necessary.  Proof of vaccination and mask required. DJ Jonathan Williams spinning. Limited free parking behind 3125 Beverly Blvd (enter off Dillon) or street parking. Ride share encouraged.

Gabba Gallery is located at 3126 Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles 90057.

Both shows will be on view through February 12.

After opening night, gallery hours are Thursday through Saturday, 12-3pm.
