“THE BREWERY”
by Andre Miripolsky
LA’s Brewery Arts Complex—former 23-acre Pabst Blue Ribbon brewery on N. Main St., and now the site of one of the world’s largest artist colonies—provides a home for world renowned artist Miripolsky, his studio, his art, . . . and his trailer. Born in Paris, but growing up in a variety of exotic locales Miripolsky was immersed in art from his youth. Today his “keen understanding of pop imagery and energy” and his more than 30-year exploration of what he calls his Kingdom of Color, have led to a rich career working with MTV, Absolut Vodka, The Tonight Show, and collaborating with a long list of performers including Elton John, Bette Midler, and The Rolling Stones, to name but a few. Twice a year The Brewery holds an open house, offering the public a remarkable opportunity to peek behind the scenes into living and working spaces as diverse as the artists themselves. (LA Art Tours is also a great resource for regular tours of the complex.) @andremiripolskyart @breweryartwalk @laarttours
