Description

Ted Gahl. "Beverly Boulevard". 14" x 11". Signed edition of 50. $100. Ted Gahl’s eclectic approach to painting fuses humor and art historical reference while shifting between figuration and abstraction. Based on a photo he took of a German tourism shirt that caught his attention on Beverly Boulevard in LA, these expressive eyes are spooky yet unthreatening. Working sometimes with drawings he made as a kid, Gahl’s fresh wit has led him to make frames from wooden paint stirrers and even landed his work on the television show Curb Your Enthusiasm.
