Tonight I went to artist Matthew Price’s gallery opening at Wax Poetic, which is a strange sort of art gallery/beauty salon up on Magnolia street in Burbank. I thought the art was stunning. You can actually see images of most of the pieces from the show on the artist’s website, but they really look totally different and much more amazing in real life. The piece shown at left, “Clingut Orphanage,” was my favorite. I prefer art that’s representational but nonrealistic, and that suggests stories, which this piece definitely does. I met a few new people, enjoyed free wine and cheese, and entered a raffle to win a free beauty treatment, which could be worth quite a bit considering that a basic haircut there can cost $59. (They gave me a price menu — hair extensions can run up to $2000.)
