Join us for the launch of The Davyd Whaley Foundation. The Foundation will announce details of its mission to support Los Angeles area artists at this event. Presentation at 5:30 p.m with Executive Director Norman Buckley, Foundation Director Ellie Blankfort, and Manager Anitra Kyees.
An exhibition of paintings and drawings by the late artist Davyd Whaley (1967-2014) will be on view, curated by Ellie Blankfort.
"Davyd Whaley produced a remarkable body of work in an intense and relatively short period of activity. He came late to the recognition of his creative potential, and died too young to have achieved the full acknowledgement he would certainly have earned. Davyd's short painting career asks the essential questions: Why are we here? What can or should we do here? Where might we be going? It is our loss that he did not live to explore these questions in greater depth. We as viewers, however, can bring our own thoughts, questions, and doubts to bear on what can be discovered about ourselves as we experience the full range of his legacy. This exhibition intends to celebrate the astonishing achievement of his five years of work as a painter, and to inaugurate the foundation established in his name."
