Patti Heid is a multi-media fine artist who has lived around the world and is currently based in Malibu in a house/studio she architecturally designed. She is renowned for her technical mastery and wildly creative imagery. Her solo exhibition “Airbrush to AI: Fifty Years of Reinvention: A Retrospective by Patti Heid” opens at Los Angeles Center for Digital Art on Thursday, December 4 with an artist’s reception from 6-9PM. The expansive show, which runs through December 27, aggregates five decades of Heid’s work, encompassing airbrush, digital imaging, collage, neon, installation, bead and sequin embellished works, and AI pieces – and various combinations thereof. Each is infused with a sense of magical realism, telling stories – many autobiographical – in a way that is both narrative and fantastical. The opening coincides with December’s DTLA ArtNight.
