On April 29, 2013 the art world lost contemporary artist Channa Horwitz. Channa was an artist known for her dizzyingly intricate geometric drawings and paintings. She was featured in the Hammer Museum's biennial “Made in L.A.” in 2012 and has won countless awards throughout her lengthy career even receiving an invitation to participate in this year's Venice Biennale.

Here are some snapshots Hammer Museum's biennial “Made in L.A.”:

If you're in the area, her most recent show is up through June 8th at Francois Ghebaly Gallery in Culver City.
