Lisa Edelstein
DANCE ME TO THE END OF THE WORLD
969 CHUNG KING ROAD
JANUARY 18 – FEBRUARY 15, 2025
OPENING RECEPTION: JANUARY 18, 5-8PM
Charlie James Gallery is pleased to present Lisa Edelstein: DANCE ME TO THE END OF THE WORLD, an exhibition of new watercolor paintings and the artist’s first at the gallery. Edelstein mines her own family history in works that transform vintage photographs into compositions that acutely capture the color and texture of a particular moment in time. Edelstein’s interest in storytelling arises across the various avenues of her artistic practice, including painting, writing, and acting. The title of the exhibition references the Leonard Cohen classic whose instrumentation evokes traditional Jewish klezmer music. The song shares a cultural pride and dark sweet sadness with Edelstein’s paintings.
This is an incredibly difficult moment for Los Angeles and for our art community. Both Lisa and the gallery have so many friends and colleagues who have been displaced, their homes completely lost. We hope that this show is a moment for community gathering and healing, and to that end Lisa and the gallery are donating 10% of the show’s proceeds to the artist-run relief campaign artworldfirereliefla @griefxhope
