Dennis Dutzi was the quintessential California artist with a photographer’s eye for light and a painter’s intuitive sense of color. His work reflects the true spirit of the region in his signature style of portraiture and pop art paintings. Dutzi’s iconographic work captures the life and color of southern California unlike any other artist of his time. Colors of Passion is a long-awaited retrospective of the late painter’s artwork and a celebration of his life.  PHARMAKA is a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to building a sustainable and creative community in Downtown Los Angeles through contemporary art exhibitions and cross cultural programming. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday 12-6pm and by appointment. Parking is available at 425 S. Main Street for $5.
