Exhibition : « Barmaid » by John Arsenault
The site of the leather bar the Eagle LA in the Silverlake neighborhood of Los Angeles has been home to many highly popular establishments over the decades—The Shed (1968-1972), The Outcast (1972-1983), and the famous Gauntlet II (1983-2005). The Eagle LA, opened in 2006, follows a long-standing tradition of leather, uniform, and fetish set forth by other Eagle bars around the country.

“For You!,” by John Arsenault at Clampart
ClampArt presents “For You!,” an exhibition of photographs by John Arsenault—the artist’s fourth solo show at the gallery.
Best known for his arresting self-portraits, Arsenault’s new series of photographs of roses highlights the artist’s fascination with quotidian beauty and the unexpected way in which the familiar can be celebrated through the use of readily available technology.
“For You!” reveals a tender, romantic side of Arsenault—an image-maker steeped in the history of art. In an aesthetic tradition echoing Georgia O’Keeffe, Arsenault’s tightly-focused photographs of flowers are a 21st-century update on a subject that has fascinated artists back to the 17th-century Dutch flower painters.
