Summertime in the gallery art scene often means a variety of group shows full of both new and established artists. Culver City this month is no exception. As I wandered from gallery to gallery, two shows that are just doors apart on South La Cienega really struck me, especially given their immediate juxtaposition and proximity to one another.

The George Billis Gallery LA is currently showing a second annual rendition of Los Angeles city scenes in “The Cityscape Show II: Images of Land and City.” And about a block away, the Kopeikin Gallery is showing “Looking at Mexico” alongside images by Alejandro Cartagena, who also curated the companion show. - Ellen C.
