​Join us for the Opening Reception of Flower Horse: A Group Show at the historic Rita House, curated by Charlie Korman.

Flower Horse encourages new and emerging collectors into the art market, featuring works specifically selected by artists with prices under $1,000.

Featuring works by:

​Carlos Chavez
Carlos Chavez (b. 1982 Los Angeles, CA) is a multi-disciplinary artist that revives experiences from his past. Growing up in the 90’s he’s influenced by the pre-internet life that provided experiences that no longer exist. Back when everything was done in-person and your world was whoever was around you. To Carlos the party flyer was always a cool piece of paper to be handed. He appreciated the graphic designs and various paper types, but he was also into the party scenes and knew the girls would be in attendance. So the party flyers were always sick.

​Luca Detrick
Luca Detrick (b. 2000 Los Angeles, CA) is currently based in Los Angeles, CA. The self taught artist mostly works in the medium of oil painting and produces works that explore expressive mark making techniques that seek to deeper understand how color, texture, and various paint applications can create imagery.

​Emory Hall
Emory Hall (b. 1993 Kansas City, MO)  is an artist exploring the relationships between myth, health and toxicity. Through bioplastic material studies and welding, the process shapes a language of decay. The visualization of time gives way towards a vision of escapism amidst a synthetic reality. Stainless steel's ubiquity in cities, kitchens and the home transforms itself into gates, scaffolding and frames to hold slippery forms. The past and present appear gilded, ornamental, decayed and full of contradictions. Lives and works in Los Angeles. A recent graduate of CalArts Art and Technology MFA (Valencia, CA), she has exhibited as a resident of Espace Triphasè (Brussels, BE). A former chef at Oxbow School of Art and Artist’s Residency (Saugatuck, MI) her work often incorporates performative dinners and draws from a background of food styling, art direction and cooking.

​
Omoyé Justine
Omoyé Justine (b. 1998 Tucson, AZ) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores religion and materiality. Using hardware and bible pages, Justine creates a juxtaposition and conversation between the physical, tangible everyday world and the world of faith and spirituality.

​Jakob Longcob
(b. 1999 Los Angeles, CA) Marks and location reveal context within the object. Presenting an incorrect answer is more effective than asking the right question. Jakob Longcob lives and works in Los Angeles and received his B.A. in Art from UCLA in 2023.

​Charlie Korman
Charlie Korman (b. 1998 Los Angeles, CA)  received his BFA from The University of California, Santa Cruz and currently lives and works in Los Angeles. His multi-disciplinary practice aims to draw lines between past, present, and future through a stream of consciousness style approach. Through addition, subtraction, and manipulation, Korman’s work utilizes ephemera, found objects and images, and belongings of lost loved ones as meditations on grief, loss, and the uncertainty of life itself.

​Dominick Vanderlip
(b. 1997, Manhattan, NY). Raised by two artists in Los Angeles, CA, he went to college at Montana State University in Bozeman, MT earning a BFA. He has had two solo exhibitions - Los Angeles and Bozeman, and has participated in group shows in Los Angeles, Oakland, Helena, MT, Bozeman MT, and NY, NY. Recently returned to LA, Vanderlip has been focusing primarily on painting but has a continuing interest in clay; and is mining the dynamic between both media. Vanderlip’s paintings conflate urban settings and the natural world that operate together as a battery to regenerate, recharge, and motivate. Using repetition (rain, flowers, checker boards, and stripes), enumeration and color is the focused and meditative process he employs to work through his pieces. These elements of the natural world overpower underlying scenes of domestic interiors, serving as a kind protection to be able to express unsettling emotion.

​ABOUT RiTA HOUSE

​Rita House is a creative hub in a historic 1926 Spanish Colonial building in Hollywood. Originally a prop design studio, then a violin factory, it was purchased in 1967 by renowned costume designer Rita Riggs who turned it into a collaborative workspace. Today, architects Tash Rahbar and Scott Strumwasser have restored the building, honoring Rita's legacy while expanding its creative offerings. The space now serves as a dynamic venue for work, events, and content creation, including a studio partnership with Operation Podcast for digital media production.
