New Image Art is a contemporary art gallery in West Hollywood, California. Founded in 1994 by curator Marsea Goldberg, the gallery is known for championing street art, outsider art, and emerging contemporary practices, and has exhibited both international and Los AngelesâÂÂbased artists.
New Image Art was established in 1994 by Marsea Goldberg in West Hollywood. Since its inception, it has been recognized as an artist-run space supporting artists outside traditional fine-art institutions. Its role within the Los Angeles scene was noted in a 2006 Los Angeles Times survey of âÂÂMovementâ galleries, which cited New Image Art among core venues.
In February 2008, the gallery hosted SwoonâÂÂs immersive solo installation Drown Your Boats, which transformed the space with a canoe, skeletal mermaids, layered city imagery, and found-object collage.
In 2011, Los Angeles Times critic Mindy Farabee described Annie VoughtâÂÂs solo show as âÂÂmanual feats, optical wonders, conceptual and emotional provocations,â praising her cut-paper reinterpretations of text messages.
In 2015, the gallery presented Patrick Martinez: Forbidden Fruit, the artistâÂÂs first solo with the gallery, covered in local and art-press outlets. The anniversary survey 15 Years of New Image Art (2009) appears in the galleryâÂÂs exhibition archive.
In 2016, Los Angeles Times reviewed the collaborative duo LAND (Caleb Owen Everitt and Ryan Rhodes) at New Image Art, noting the workâÂÂs âÂÂpictographic punch.âÂÂ
The gallery has exhibited work by both established and emerging artists, including:
