GOING TO A DOUBLE ART OPENING AT MEGAN MULROONEY’S TWIN GALLERIES
Step into Merle’s Closet for an insider’s view of the inner world of L.A. style.
Going to a double art opening at Megan Mulrooney’s twin galleries at Santa Monica Blvd, situated across N. Greenacre Ave., is a cool way to spend a balmy warm spring night. And dress for one. Our friend/fellow writer Michael Slenske did double guest curating duty: the larger gallery devoted to the work of British transplant Nick Taggart, the smaller a theatrical venue for figurative painter Drake Carr in residency, creating figures from live forms in open house form, which will continue throughout most of April. The work was spritely and colorful
– Taggart’s reflecting his pastoral British youth – but so was the crowd. From young to “mature,” everybody turned it out in mostly boots, tinted glasses, two tone jackets – and a sweater with animals on the back, a present gifted to an artist by Patricia Arquette. Also on hand: artist Matthew Rolston, THR editor in chief Maer Roshan, fine jewelry rep Randi Molofsky, always natty designers Brian Wolf and Claude Morais.
