It’s difficult to use words to reflect my time in Vietnam, because Vietnam is not words. It’s a colour, a smell, a taste, a warmth. It is it’s own energy entirely. The best i can do to paint a picture of my experiences is through these images. Thought provoking in every way, Vietnam is a poem.

Some pretty rad shows over the years at Innocnts Gallery. Really cool mix of folks looking back expressing themselves. Appreciate this small community we’ve built. Thanks to the artists, gallery patrons, and collectors for contributing. Look forward to more in 2019!

We had a great evening last Saturday for the opening of French artist Johanna Olk’s solo exhibition “Idle Youth” at 1700 Naud curated Innocnts. Nice warm fall weather greeted a comfortable sized crowd for an evening of art and music. Big thanks to Venetian Blinds for a killer live set of ambient rock and roll and much appreciation to Peaking Lights for keeping the vibes right all night on the turn tables. Shout out to the homie MoreGnar for always snapping pictures at the events. Johanna exhibition remains up until November 18th with regular viewing hours typically 2-6pm through the week. Plenty of great artwork still available if you’re interested.
For those who can't make the show in person, here's the exhibition artwork. Some are sold and some available. For an up-to-date exhibition catalog please click here.

Innocnts returns to Shepard Fairey’s Subliminal Projects in Echo Park to curate the second edition of WE ARE THE ROMANTIC ONES, a Saint Valentine’s Day group exhibition including emotive driven painting, photography, drawing, sculpture, and installation. Last year’s one-night-only exhibition was greeted by warm crowds and goods vibes. A collection of long stem roses was available to any gal in attendance and Innocnts bootlegged some red wine from a Trader Joe’s truck to set the mood right. It was such a successful night that Subliminal Projects offered Innocnts another go this year. This time around the exhibition will run for 3 weeks from February 14th through March 3rd. The opening reception on Saint Valentine’s Night will include a special intimate Hip-Hop performance about a girlfriend by Kapeesh and select oldies vinyl by Jordan Blackmon (Toro Y Moi guitarist). Join us at Subliminal Projects Wednesday, February 14th from 7pm to 10pm as we kick off the opening reception.
