Gabba Gallery Presents:
“DAVE & FRIENDS” - Group Art Exhibition
Gabba Gallery and artist Dave Pressler invite you to delight in Dave & Friends, a whimsical group exhibition featuring work by Dave and more than 50 of his favorite artists. This lighthearted and colorful show, presented in Gabba’s new DTLA space is sure to leave you smiling.
Dave Pressler is a skilled multimedia artist, illustrator, animator, painter, sculptor, and more. He is known for his sardonic humor and acclaimed for his animation work as co-creator of the series “Robot and Monster” and executive producer on Nickelodeon’s successful “Rugrats” reboot.
The show highlights Pressler’s fun and often sarcastic tone, drawing from his extensive multi-media background. Robots, monsters, and other charming characters take center stage in his most recent collection of paintings, drawings, sculptures, and toys. His loveable creatures will captivate art-lovers of all ages, from the young to the young at heart.
Along with Gabba’s Jason Ostro and Elena Jacobson, Pressler has curated a group exhibition with a similarly enchanting point of view. While the artists on display hail from many different corners of the art world and work in a variety of media, they all share Dave’s signature joie de vivre. From the bright and bold to the quirky and playful to the adorable and touching, don’t miss this joyful celebration of life, a perfect show for summer.
The opening night reception takes place Saturday, August 17 from 5-9 pm. The event is free and open to the public. No RSVP required. Visit the FB Event
On view through September 14. After the opening, gallery hours are Weds-Sat 12-3pm or by appointment. Artwork will be available for online viewing and purchase the week following the opening.
