Wacko/ Soap Plant / La Luz De Jesus

Art galleries are abundant in Los Angeles, but when I came across such a unique place like the Wacko/ La Luz De Jesus I couldn't help but want to share what a great place this is! La Luz De Jesus is a quaint little art gallery within the Wacko, a shop worth exploring on your free time.The colorful ambient drips on the walls, the scent describes many unusual materials, the merchandise wants to make its way into your pockets, and there is no telling what you might find.
La Luz De Jesus features different artists each month throughout the year. The artworks displayed are usually narrative paintings, and unusual sculptures just like art seen in Juxtapoz, or Hi-Fructose magazines. Artists like Robert Williams, and Mark Ryden, among many more, have had their artwork notoriously displayed  at La Luz De Jesus.
The Wacko offers books that cover a wide variety of subjects, from kama sutra, music history, to embalming the dead. The curiosities are ridiculously funny, and you can find many beautiful objects like mexican tin art.
 Visit the Wacko on a carefree day, to fully absorb what this place has to offer. Note: Parking is slightly difficult to find. Another convenient way to travel is through the metro rail by taking the red line, and exiting on Vermont/ Sunset (the Wacko will be within walking distance).
Enjoy! *****
