entitled, "Protect The Life Givers,” which was on view throughout the
show.

| Pop Artist DeVon made debut at LA Artshow 2023, and he merges painting with
photography and printmaking. DeVon contextualizes new meaning by coll-aging
torn magazines and books, and submerges his many layers in a thick
glossy resin. The final layer of his work is often strewn with paint
splatter and encrusted with diamond dust, glitter and jewels. |

| Italian artist Lorenzo Marini’s two-dimensional artwork and
installations show letters bound by flatness hanging in “Raintype"
shape. Colorful ABC letters are imprinted on clear rectangular shapes
hanging from the ceiling like raindrops suspended in the air, as a rainy
day. |
 |
| Korean artist HanHo’s “Eternal Light,” is a massive nine-part multimedia
work presented by ReflectSpace Gallery at the City of Glendale Library.
The work is inspired by Michelangelo's “The Last Judgment.” HanHo uses
traditional art, technology and performance to re-imagine an apocalyptic
scenario for the 21st century. |

| Artist Carrie Kaplan's GET A GRIP, "Each piece of music creates a distinct, vivid image and personality. Movements suggest tone, color, emotion, and story of choreography on canvas and color.” MRG Fine Art was in partnership with Zero Two 20 to be a thought-provoking exhibition, creating an open platform for emerging and established talent of diverse backgrounds. |

(Right) Chilean Painter Victor Castillo has been identified as a pop-surrealist for his paintings of vintage comics, animation and dark sense of humor. His works spin from political narratives of current world crises to greed and chaos. The protagonists of his paintings are often children with blank eyes. |
