Paulina Peavy wore elegant jeweled masks while painting elegantly weird abstractions. Like Titian, Peavy kept paintings in her studio and worked on them for years. Unlike Titian, Peavy believed her art was channeling a nonbinary extraterrestrial named Lacamo (pronounced
LA-cum-mo).
Peavy is the subject of this summer's most recherché sleeper show, "Paulina Peavy: An Etherian Channeler." Curated by Laura Whitcomb, it runs through July 31, 2021, at Beyond Baroque, in the Mike Kelley Gallery, no less. Peavy was a part of the incipient avant garde of pre-WWII L.A., an artist, gallerist, educator, and scenester who knew Morgan Russell, Hans Hofmann, Mabel Alvarez, Lorser Feitelson, and Agnes Pelton.
