First of all … a Monchichi!? Oh my word, so many 1980s childhood flashbacks. Okay, let’s talk about these beautifully bizarre portraits by Los Angeles based painter Tasha Kusama, shall we? That perfectly painted hair, those dreamy sky-scapes, not to mention titles like “sometimes ima baby, sometimes ima tiger”… GOLD! Tasha’s work is part of a group show at La Luz de Jesus Gallery in LA, titled CANNED HEAT, that opens on July 5th {8-11pm} and runs until July 28th, 2019.
