The California based artist Alex Marsh King has a new exhibition of limited edition 35mm prints at Voila Gallery that opens on October 11th at 8:00PM and closes on Oct. 15th. The show tittled Alive in California is a depiction of “the colors, vibrancy and moments that are intrinsic to Southern California life — lush lifestyle living, and lovely men to be specific.” Alex told us why he only works with film “I have always loved the look of film and when everyone started shooting digital, I fell out of love with photography. 15 years later, I picked up my Leica again and was reminded of the power of light & chemical reaction when dealing with our objects of desire…”

After the artist started getting lots of positive responses about this body of work, he decided to dig into his film archives and put this exhibition together. The show contains photographs of “beautiful near-naked men, and other colorful natural subject matter.” All work will be available for purchase at the event, along with his magazine Light Luster — a collection of 40 pages of still life set against the male form. Also, expect a performance by the indie surf rock band Rachel Goodrich and The Grrrls. Below is a preview of some of the work that will be on display…

FREE, 8:00PM, Voila Gallery, 518 N. La Brea Los Angeles, CA.
