10 days of Brad Pitt, Bruce Willis, Cowboys and Carrots

By artist Andras Wahorn at gGalleryLA

Five-time Emmy Award Winner Gabor Csupo, Director & Producer of The Simpsons, Rugrats and Bridge to Therabithia is proud to announce the first solo show of Hungarian artist Andras Wahorn in the United States via an 10 day art installation at gGalleryLA.  Wahorn will be painting live in the window of gGalleryLA, 319 Wilshire Blvd, Santa Monica from August 20, 2012 to August 30, 2012 to be followed by a month long viewing of the exhibit titled “Hungarian Cowboys Exchanging Carrots with Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis” from September 1, 2012 to September 31, 2012.

“I always enjoy supporting artists," Gabor Csupo, Founder of gGalleryLA, “and with Wahorn painting in the window is a way for the world to share in his genius.”


Andras Wahorn is a Hungarian born eclectic artist working in the mediums of drawing, painting, objects, film and music and is the Founder of the Wahorn Airport multimedia complex. Warhorn gained international fame when he was decorated with the Knight Cross, Order of Merit of the Hungarian Republic - one of Hungarian’s highest civilian honors and the Australian International Video Festival Open Video Art Award.   Since then Wahorn has traveled the globe showcasing his work in well known galleries; from New York to the the Hungarian National Gallery and the Collection Riz Roma in Italy.

“Hungarian Cowboys Exchanging Carrots with Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis” is Wahorn’s interpretation of the experience of having both Hollywood A-listers Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis filming in his native Hungary earlier this year.  Pitt was shooting the much anticipated World War Z and Willis the fifth installment of Die Hard, A Good Day to Die Hard.

Known for his installations which showcase his purely mischievous flair - a canvas portrait of a Hungarian cowboy interacting with Brad Pitt with a carrot offered in greeting – continues that tradition. A recent painting shows young, cowboys giving each other carrots, while walking across a yellow landscape.  Wahorn takes popular culture and makes it infectiously playful.

“Warhorn’s work is very accessible. It’s pop culture-based, but I think that his work broadens his audience. I think he puts a lot of himself into his work. Art is about the energy of the person.” said Marc Schiller, co-founder of the Wooster Collective.

gGalleryLA will be hosting a number of events to experience Wahorn and his work. 

From August 20, 2012 to August 30, 2012 Wahorn will be painting live in the window of the gallery.

On August 30, 2012, gGalleryLA will host a Meet the Artist for the media from 11am – 4pm followed by a Ribbon Cutting from 5pm – 7pm and a then a private buyer’s reception from 7pm – 9pm.

On Saturday September 1, 2012, a reception for Wahorn will be open to the public from 6pm – midnight including beverages and a live musical performance.



All the artists' works are currently available for purchase. 'gGalleryLA' located at 319 Wilshire Blvd, Santa Monica is open to the public everyday weekly from 11 am to 7 pm. Every other Friday from 9 pm to 12:30 am features a salon of musical and visual medium artists.
