Runyon Canyon, a new exhibition of work by Christian Vincent, features vivid patterns, a menagerie of animals and mysterious goings-on behind beaded curtains. The scenes are sometimes surreal, what with furry animals and parrots heaped upon young men and women, yet at others they are quite serene as a young girl listens to guitar music or another has a cup of tea. But the fellow seated at a canvas is not having a very good time at all – is this a portrait of the artist as a young man?

Artist: Christian Vincent
