DROP AFTER LIGHTING
Mini-solo exhibition at La Luz de Jesus Gallery, Los Angeles, CA
January 9 - February 1, 2026
As part of her continuing hijinks in the art partnership of AGblend13, Anka Yanovna’s surreal cat paintings flare into life on sculptural, hand shaped aluminum panels. Wide eyes and gleeful smirks come to us from a dimension where cats choose the tattoo-like markings written into their fur, each portrait a self contained story of the cat’s life and loves displayed with unabashed enthusiasm.
In the human world of coded social interactions and ironic detachment from expressions of sincerity, Anka’s brash and wanton felines speak to us from across the species divide. After all, who is more honest than a cat? And what do we truly lose by wearing our hearts on our sleeves?
Drop the pretense, drop the shame, and drop that firecracker!
Original paintings on hand shaped aluminum panels
Welcome to the weird world of Art Base Alpha, where two alien beings work tirelessly to create unique art on dimensional wall hanging forms.
Anka Yanovna's strange and silly acrylic paintings capture the emotions and adventures of creatures near and far, from this galactic quadrant and beyond.
Let's go!
Tattoo Cats
In a world where our sweet companions show their personalities with custom dyed fur, which designs do you think they'd choose? Chewable flowers, chaseable snakes, delectable butterflies, and perhaps an unhealthy obsession with sharp stabbing things. Does a knife symbolize their beautiful, beautiful claws? Let's exercise caution, just in case...
Wood Bots
When extrastellar contact with the intelligent trees of Ximia opened their minds to the concept of life beyond, the forestplanet worked as one to create living Wood Bots capable of leaving home planet to see the wonders for themselves. These peaceful ambassadors to the stars are vessels of boundless curiosity and kindness extended to all they meet.
Adventures of Goldfish Bandit
A clinking clatter of glass feet on a staircase... A puddle of water on the showroom floor... The discordant twang of a banjo as it's hurled into a tree... In the distance, sirens.
