Michael Eastman opening reception tonight

Please join DNJ Gallery from 6 - 8 pm for the opening reception of Michael Eastman's Vanishing America. Mr.Eastman will be at the gallery signing copies of his recently released book of the same name.

Gallery II features work from the series “Almost Home-Less” by Richard Gilles. Photographing different mobile homes across the West Coast, this body of work illustrates an element of American society that goes unnoticed. As in the ideas of the New Topographics movement, Gilles’ unbiased images illustrate the distinct personality of each vehicle, while at the same time, giving no direct insight as to its occupants. He asks us to take a closer look at the prevalence of the motor-home lifestyle and observe the camouflaged vehicles dotting our city streets, beaches, and rural landscapes. Gilles received a BA from San Francisco State University. He has exhibited in galleries through out the United States and has won various awards for his work. This will be his first show in the Los Angeles area.

We hope to see you tonight!
