Dan Witz – Dark Doings (11.5)

Prolific Brooklyn street artist Dan Witz will open his Dark Doings solo @ Carmichael Gallery, Thursday November 5th from 7 to 10 PM.  Witz has been making ‘street art’ for over 30 years – long before the term rose to the everyday prominence and cachet that it now enjoys.  His work fits into the existing urban landscape, offering an unexpected discovery for sharp-eyed, in-the-moment passerbys.

This new exhibition, his first in Los Angeles, is an extension of  this summer’s Dark Doings project.  Drawing on his experiences in Amsterdam’s red-light district , Dan installs faux images of people and animals trapped behind glass and/or bars onto exterior doors to which people rarely pay any attention.

Here’s a quick preview of some of Dan’s recent Dark Doings in and around LA as well as some shots of his gallery pieces.
