Blood Relation
Usually "tortured artists" evoke images of feverish bouts of creativity in dank studios and gatherings in dark coffee houses and bars. But the sunny palm tree-lined streets of L.A.? Not so much. Artist Jess von der Ahe has found a way to integrate her upbringing amidst Hollywood illusion and the darker mood of the Bavarian Alps into her work. Now living nearby the castles of Bavaria’s former "mad" King Ludwig II—one of which was the inspiration for Disney’s logo—von der Ahe’s upcoming show "Ludwig and I" opening February 8th at hot new gallery Jeannie Freilich Fine Art depicts female nudes inspired by sculptures on the castle grounds and portraits of forgotten objects. The artist’s medium is her own blood. Apparently tortured artists can matriculate from La La Land. Maybe sometimes the sun just illuminates darkness. $6,000-$45,000, Jeannie Freilich Fine Art, 22 E.72nd St., (212) 794-5220
