Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/18/2013 -- KM Fine Arts Los Angeles, listed this year by Blouin Media among the TOP 500 GALLERIES in the world, hosted the Pre-Closing celebration of Dana Louise Kirkpatrick's "Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Dazed" Exhibition, on Saturday December 14, 2013 at the intimate showroom in West Hollywood.

Guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres throughout the evening, whilst they admired Kirkpatrick’s artwork and had the honor of mingling with the artist herself as well as other esteemed guests including Timothy Hutton, Rain Phoenix, Pete Weiss, Rob Steinberg, musician Dylan Starrs, actor Vincent De Paul, three-time Olympian Nicholas Frankl, Esquire Magazine Director Todd Simons, restaurant critic and music producer Steve Plotnicki and his wife Linda.

Dana Louise Kirkpatrick is an artist gaining rapid renown for her bold, large-scale artworks in mixed media. Although this is her first solo exhibition, Kirkpatrick’s work is featured in a larger number of private collections, including Anthony Kiedis, Flea, Justin Timberlake, Tony Hawk, Timothy Hutton, Producer Stephen Nemeth, Dana White, Lyndley and Samuel Schwab, and director/producer James D. Stern. Her recent sold out showing with KM in Art Miami Basel 2013 resulted with placement in several important collections including the personal collection of Jorge M. Perez of the Perez Museum.

Kirkpatrick’s current Los Angeles exhibition runs through December 21st, 2013 exclusively at KM Fine Arts.
