Description
HIGHLIGHTS
- Two levels of psychedelic, immersive, and colorful original artwork.
- Enter an "alice in wonderland" type of world - imaginative and creative.
- Color changing, LIFX wifi linked bulbs.
- Friendly space in a great community of artists.
- Easy parking.
THE SPACE
- 1100 sq ft art studio loft in a friendly artist community just outside of DTLA
- Covered and decorated in Laurie Shapiro's otherworldy and immersive artwork.
- Colorful with psychedelic and detailed artistic vibes.
- A dream-like alternative world.
- Shapiro's work has been described as "an enveloping experience that touches the unconscious [...] like stepping into a living dream," (Pen Densham, Trilogy Entertainment.)
THE MAIN SPACE: ALCHEMY TUNNEL
- Custom painted and laminated floor with a rubber padding underneath. Mixed media textile paintings drape from one wall, over the ceiling and down the opposite wall. Glistening fabrics piece together the large paintings. Handmade lighting fixtures look like hanging orbs - all equipped with LIFX smart bulbs, which enables color changes from your phone.
PRAISE ON ALCHEMY TUNNEL:
- "A wrapping helix of interconnected prismatic panels, dense with layers of screen-printing, drawn and painted images, and stitching, is activated with a LIFX lighting motherboard. As an environment, it resembles a fantastic dream, luminous and alive..." (Shana Nys Dambrot, LA Weekly)
- "Viewers slip off their shoes to enter the space, evoking the sensation of entering both fairyland and sacred chamber. There are elements of the fairytale here – a visionary, female-conceived version of the genii’s cave in Aladdin or the magic treasure cave in Ali Baba and The Forty Thieves – in Shapiro’s installation; also significant are elements of personal and spiritual sanctity.“ (Genie Davis, Artillery Magazine )
- Stepping into Laurie Shapiro’s latest art immersive, Alchemy Tunnel, feels like time has stopped in that moment. Before you’ve had a chance to look around, you already feel different. Instantly you’ve become centered. (Marisa Molinaro, LA Parents Guide )
THE ENTRANCE:
- The ground level welcomes you with a 180 sq foot immersive art installation, bathroom, kitchen and makeup area. Orb lights are at eye level here, creating a more intimate space for photos, or a great space to “wow” visitors into a dream world. A laminated, mixed media floor surrounded by original textile paintings. The adjacent kitchen and makeup area allows space to lay out food or costume changes. Private bathroom with shower.
