Greg 'CRAOLA' Simkins shows at Merry Karnowski
"Cloud Theory" is Craola's latest gallery show will feature new work from the LA-based abstract still life artist and graffiti writer.
I don't know much about Craola except of his affiliation with CBS crew in LA and collaborations with Rime and Dabs and Myla. I wondered why he had such a surreal focus on animals, but it all made sense when I read that he "grew up with a menagerie of animals including a number of rabbits..." and how is favorite childhood books are Richard Adams' scary "Watership Down" and C.S. Lewis' "The Chronicles of Narnia." You can get inside his head a little watching this video below.
