Art in Chinatown
Chinatown, Downtown Los AngelesOn Saturday, our friend Tetsuji Aono had an art opening at the L2kontemporary Gallery in Chinatown. It was a really interesting show. You can read about the exhibit focus here. We always see lots of friends at art shows too, so it's a fun evening. I really like Tetsuji's mirror decal pieces. The one of the poodle with some sort of chicken in his head is most enticing to me.
Tetsuji's Poodle MirrorBefore the show we stopped at Hop Woo on North Broadway for a bowl of soup. They serve the best War-Wonton Soup....it's chock full o' chicken, vegies, pork, shui mai dumplings, etc. served in a rich and tasty broth. The soup was perfect for a cold and blustery evening.

I hope Tetsuji sells out. His work is wonderful.

Hi Judy,
Yes, Chinese New Year is February 18th...the year of the PIG! I'll keep checking the Los Angeles Chinatown site to see what's happening that weekend.
HOWEVER, the Farmers Market Mardi Gras is 2/17-2/18 @ 3rd and Fairfax. We LOVE that event!
I thought the colors were rather nice, myself.
Oh my, Ellen, We have another person in common! Tetsuji is my friend too! I received the invite to his opening too late, so I didn't go. I will be stopping by before the show comes down. Thanks for the photos, the show looks super interesting and fun.
