Kush is my favorite artist; examining his works in this gallery was a transcendent experience.
I could only spend 4 hours in Laguna Beach and am grateful to the two staff members who answered questions and allowed me to browse the gallery undisturbed all that time. It was still not enough time to adequately digest all the paintings, giant murals, sculptures, and jewelry. With a live viewing, I was able to pick up details (sometimes entire objects) that I missed even after multiple examinations over the Internet.
Unfortunately, world-class fine art is (for now) outside my budget, but they did sell autographed copies of Kush's books.
The ideal volume for deciphering metaphorical realism is silence, but my foam earplugs adequately dampened the volume of a gallery crowded with curious art lovers. Two small rooms with light dimmers allowed me to see how Kush's paintings change under different brightnesses.
I didn't take any photos out of respect...
Read moreAs always...great art! But I want to point out just how much the manager, Brian, should be complimented and commented on. In a difficult field this young man seems to "get it"...offers good advice as well as actually listens to his clients. I've recommended his gallery to friends and none have been disappointed. BRAVO, BRIAN! PS.. very nice receptions as well.
Pss...Had some free time, so stopped in on Sunday(2/9/20). Brian was there, accessible, after his very friendly staff had shown me new pieces downstairs Once again I was very impressed by both his knowledge, ability to synthesize ideas, and his ability to learn. All of my friends that I've refered have had similar positive experiences. Too bad he's not in my field...any physician or consultant would grab him. Still, selfishly... I love the artist and Brian represents him in the best way...

One of the ladies seemed to keep her eye on me and follow me around when there were atleast 10 other people there. Not sure what that was about but i felt very uncomfortable. I wonder if she would have approaced me differently if she knew i had 120k in the bank and was looking for new art work for my new home in manhattan beach. Memo to the staff here. Do NOT judge a book by its cover or color. And btw. My jeans cost $300, my boots cost $450 and that plain white t...
