Enjoy Art on the Second Saturday of June
Here's your guide to enjoying art on a long a summer Saturday night.
June has arrived here in Los Angeles. The sun is out almost as long as it is going to be, and the evenings are pleasant. So what a good time it is to enjoy the arts in Highland Park on the Second Saturday of June.
Finster Studio presents the artwork of Richard Yusim.
Find out what's happening in Highland Park-Mount Washingtonwith free, real-time updates from Patch.
From Finster: "With a background in percussion and an MFA from Otis, Richard Yusim has created large symmetrical circular images on square wood surfaces to symbolically represent forms and shapes comprised of numeric variations suggesting a relationship to the "meter" in music. The work is absent color and objective imagery in the same way that some music is absent melody or lyrical content and emphasizes instead rhythm, structure, shape, and texture.
Finster continues: "After Richard pulls his work we are having an "interim" show with local regulars we met at Finster: Hilary Quatinetz and Johnny Jarman. Their work is "rough and free-flowing."

This month, Platform will display the portrait photography of Steven Dewall
Steven's success lies with his ability to connect with people. By making subjects comfortable and at ease, and placing them in settings that feel natural, he turns a photo shoot into a collaborative experience that encourages them to express themselves," Dewall's bio states. "This allows him to present their personalities in revealing and sometimes unexpected ways, and in turn, build a connection with those viewing his work."
