Painters have always been interested not only in how the world physically looks but also in the many ways that different individuals see it — symbolically, emotionally, and psychologically. In this series of compelling and unsettling urban streetscapes, Jay Brockman demonstrates that interest, depicting familiar Hollywood neighborhoods, viewed, ironically, as they most often are by the city's residents: at night from a passing car. Executed with wit and skill, they are, in their way, more LA than LA. (SND)

NOTE: The exhibition is a special two-day event. Following the artist's reception on Sat 11.2, the gallery is open Sun 11.2 (11am-7pm).
