Urban Art Destination



If you need a fix of street art but don't want to navigate LA's mean streets, Lab Art is the place to go.

Brother and sister Iskander Lemseffer and Rachel Joelson opened the gallery dedicated to innovative urban art about seven months ago.




Compelling work by about thirty artists from SoCal and New York is currently on display.
Those who follow the scene will recognize some of the notorious artists represented - Alec Monopoly, Cyrcle, Destroy All Design, Kai Aspire, Army of One/JC2, Sean D'Anconia and skateboarding legend Chad Muska.

It's possibly the most comprehensive collection of urban art in a single location.After 23 years working in the fashion industry, Lemseffer was looking for something new to satisfy his creative energy. His sister took him down the road of street art and the two joined forces to open the gallery in a 6,500 sq. ft. former car repair shop on La Brea Avenue. It seems fitting the former pit stop for cars is now a vibrant space for street art.
