"SCRIPTURE, AKA PEACE IS A FUZZY BALL"
Jesus in this drawing is sending Judas holy thought balls of love and comfort to prevent him from taking matters into his own hands because of the guilt he probably felt after betraying Jesus, a.k.a. God, for a measly 30 pieces of silver.

The Dab Art Co. has launched an exclusive and unprecedented art project called ART IN THE TIME OF CORONA™. This 3 year long comprehensive project includes an ongoing online exhibition, a full color publication of all selected works (published yearly), a multi-gallery international exhibition and a documentary film on the first year of the project (the film will be screened in Los Angeles).
Director and curator in chief Yessíca Torres wrote and released an essay about the importance of art and artists in a turbulent time. For almost 10 years Yessíca’s passion for contemporary art and commitment to the exploration of the artist process have been reflected in her gallery program, taking a progressive and in some ways rebellious approach to art exhibitions. Her mission with ART IN THE TIME OF CORONA™ proposes an unconventional solution to keeping contemporary art relevant, propelling the art experience forward and promoting the valuable role artists will play in this time of global crisis.
The goal of this innovative project is to record and exhibit (in real time) defining artwork created during civil uncertainty. Her hope is to unite viewers and help them find the sanctity, comfort and inspiration needed to heal a world in turmoil.
We are hopeful as a company and as members of our respective communities, that when current mandates and quarantines are lifted, our resilience as artists will be the foundation for social unity.
This project consists of 3 phases and will be ongoing from 2020 thru 2023.
PHASE 3
Once the online exhibit concludes in December, the Dab Art Co. curators will collectively make selections for a multi gallery 8 week exhibition to be held simultaneously in 3 cities at all the Dab Art Co. Galleries; Los Angeles, Ventura and Mexico City. Our gallery exhibitions for VOL.3 (Year 3) will begin in May 2022.
The Dab Art Co. film production team has already started working on the Year 3 documentary film accompanying this project. We will be asking for artist participation, gathering footage and stories as the year progresses. Dab Art Co. is committed to completing this art documentary in time hold a special screening in March when the gallery exhibits are on display. The debut screening will be an event open to public and held in Los Angeles, California.
