La Luz de Jesus Gallery is proud to present Rachel Bensimon, Gabriel Edwards, Waylon Horner, and Teresa Watson in a February Group Exhibition.

About

Rachel Bensimon, a Toronto native now based in New York, embarks on an artistic journey that intricately weaves the innocence and profound intensity of childhood. Trained at The Arts Students League and The New York Academy of Art, her work delves into the psychology of capturing the essence of childhood wonder. Her recent series of portraits depicts girls and young women within imaginary contexts, often adorned with animals, flowers, dolls, bubbles and lollipops in imaginary patterned backgrounds. 

Inspired by horror and cult films, Gabriel Edwards creates fun, colorful pieces which reflect the playful experiences these genres have given others. Aesthetically inspired by home made toys and folk art, Edward’s work has a sense of humor and a human touch.

Waylon Horner’s artwork is a complex dance between chaos and harmony. His compositions provoke a sense of curiosity, prompting viewers to decipher the intricate language embedded within the artwork.

Born and raised in Texas, and educated at Pratt Institute, Teresa Watson, is an illustrator and painter living with schizoaffective disorder. Her comic "Welcome to the Covid-19 Mental Health Struggle" appeared in New York Times.  She has exhibited paintings at La Luz de Jesus in Los Angeles and Hey There Projects, La Matadora Gallery, and Mincing Mockingbird in Joshua Tree California.
