Artist Update: Gali Rotstein

Last week we held an opening reception for artist Gali Rotstein's new show "Flying Crooked", now showing at the Lois Lambert Gallery.

Gali, whose talents range from theater arts to ceramics to digital art and photography, has compiled a fantastic collection of her paintings, inspired by the Robert Graves poem of the same name:

The butterfly, the cabbage white,
(His honest idiocy of flight)
Will never now, it is too late,
Master the art of flying straight,
Yet has — who knows so well as I? —
A just sense of how not to fly:
He lurches here and here by guess
And God and hope and hopelessness.
Even the aerobatic swift
Has not his flying-crooked gift.

If you haven't had a chance to stop by, fret not. Gali's paintings will be on display until May 8. And in case you weren't able to attend the opening, take a look at our Facebook album page for some great photos taken by our friend Elaine Chen-Fernandez.
