I was a resident artist at The Hive Gallery and Studios from April of 2005 to May of 2007 in downtown Los Angeles. I was among the first to move into the Hive Gallery and was a participant and witness to it's rise of status as one of downtown's favorite art destinations. I have since moved to a larger work space closeby in downtown at the Crescent Creamery building. But, I still come by often to hang out with Nathan Cartwright and the current resident artists. The Hive features art of many different styles including contemporary art, lowbrow, visionary art, outsider art, multi-media, performance art, sculpture, painting, video work, contemporary assemblage, etc. The footage from this video was shot at The Hive in December 2006 during one of it's Saturday openings and features many of my paintings and relief sculptures. The Hive Gallery has an opening the 1st Saturday of every month which is usually a group show of Los Angeles based artists. During the openings the Hive resident artists have their spaces open for the viewing public. The second Thursday of every month is the Downtown Art Walk in which The Hive Gallery participates. The gallery show and artist spaces will be open for the public at that time as well. Here is my artist biography: Treiops Treyfid was born and raised in the Chicago area. He attended The Corcoran School of Art in Washington DC. He has been a lifelong artist and his works are well-respected. He has been living in Hollywood, California for the last several years, and has a studio in downtown Los Angeles at the prestigious Crescent Creamery. He is very active in the art community of Los Angeles and participates in many shows and events. His style could be described as Visionary Contemporary. Whether through sculpture, contemporary assemblage, painting, or video Treyfid's bold and focused concepts are always elegantly realized. Visit my website: http://www.treiops.com/art
