For anyone in Los Angeles, get yourself to the MKG Gallery. The Mercedes Helnwein / Kim Kimbro / Vonn Sumner show that has been running since October 11th closes in two days on November 15th.
I've only recently delved into the world of Contemporary Art, but what I've found is that it is a lot more accessible than you may realize. There's a lot of artists out there that are aiming their work to a wider audience, not the supposed Upper Echelons, although they tend to be the only ones who can afford their work.
I really like the KP Project / MKG Gallery especially because they focus on artists with an established style. You know their work when you see it and the majority of it doesn't require a degree in order to interpret the artist's intent.
This one by Mercedes Helnwein is my favorite in the show. She is definitely an artist to watch at the moment. I find her work has the blend of 1940s glamour with political relevancy in today's world. If you're looking for an artist on the rise and have a few grand lying around, she's definitely worth the investment. There is a timeless appeal in her work, and you'll find yourself finding the subtlety every time you look.
