Lazaros, or L., and A.S.T.R.A.L.O.R.A.C.L.E.S.
Hunter Drohojowska-Philp on the witchcraft at Five Car Garage.
Many artists think they are making magic with their art but Lazaros, now going by the name of L., actually is a practicing witch. His exhibition at Emma Gray’s Five Car Garage is titled 999777555333111222444666888. Numerology is essential and this show is the inauguration of his work with a collaborative of like-minded practicioners, including Naomi Larbi and Grace McGrade, calling themselves A.S.T.R.A.L.O.R.A.C.L.E.S.
