Denver-based artist Patrick Kane McGregor created this mural for the 2021 edition of Wide Open Walls Festival in Sacramento.

From the Wide Open Walls website about the artist-

Patrick “Kane” McGregor’s painting style starts with roots in graffiti and letters. In the next phase of art study he gained application, color theory and anatomy skills painting at various hand painted billboard companies over the last three decades. With the newfound knowledge of brushes and oil paints, he now explores portraiture more and found a love for it. Most his work now is based in realism, sometimes using impressionism and abstract ideas for scale or effect while exploring the use of color. Patrick enjoys painting animals, especially dogs, as they are a big part of his life. He has a deep appreciation and pride for canines in his paintings and likes to represent them majestically as they live in the moment.

Today (2/22) is the last day to see Pierre Huyghe at LACMA. There is so much to see within the show and it is, at times, overwhelming. You enter the exhibition with your name announced by a live announcer and then proceed through the maze like space to find aquariums with live sea creatures in them; video work, including a film with a monkey walking around wearing the mask of a girl; sculptures including the one pictured above with a head of live bees (Untilled (Liegender Frauenakt)); and Human, a live dog who is around the gallery at various times.  It’s Huyghe’s first retrospective in his twenty-five year career and well worth a trip into his unique visual world.
