MAR 17: MICHAEL GARLINGTON ART RECEPTION, STEPHEN COHEN GALLERY

< style="font-style: italic;">MICHAEL GARLINGTON: PORTRAITS FROM THE BELLY OF THE WHALE, March 17 – May 7, Stephen Cohen Gallery; Opening Reception Thursday, March 17 From 7 – 9PM <>

(Los Angeles, CA) – Hosted by the internationally acclaimed Stephen Cohen Gallery, located at 7358 Beverly Boulevard, Michael Garlington - Portraits from the Belly of the Whale will feature a gathering of the strange, unique and depraved, captured in black & white photographs, shot while touring the country in his image-plastered “Photo Car” – literally a Volkswagen covered with his photographs – searching for the truth. Garlington shoots portraits of whatever speaks to him - from a contortionist to a fast food worker, from the disabled to a young patriot, his work is about ordinary Americans leading ordinary lives, yet there is something awry. Inside the work is a deeply felt affection for humanity in all its permutations and expressions, in all its horror and triviality. The resulting body of work offers a critical, offbeat, and humorous view of the United States —a portrait of the “belly of the whale.”

<>The public is invited to attend the opening reception on March 17 from 7 – 9PM. Following the event, the gallery will resume its regular hours scheduled on Tuesday through Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and by appointment. For additional information on the exhibition, which runs through May 7, please call 323.937.5525 or visit www.stephencohengallery.com.
