There is a second floor that you can only access by stairs, but even if you cannot get upstairs, there is plenty of beautiful art to see on the bottom floor. Please be careful if going up and down the stairs because the handrails are a bit wobbly and unstable. Experience: this gallery is WAY bigger than it looks from the outside. Upon entering, you can turn left and go enjoy their bar, or you can turn right and enter a world of art. A lot of the art here is a darker theme, but some of it isn't. The art is mostly paintings but there are some small sculptures and photo art. I also learned they have an escape room you can play, but I haven't experienced this one yet!

Never knew about this place until today. I walked in a little after it opened and was in awe with…read morethe unique artwork I was seeing. This is not your typical classical, safe paintings that you see else. No these paintings have an edge, a uniqueness about them which I love. I thought I needed to go to LA for this type of stuff, but seeing it here in Escondido was refreshing. There's an upstairs too which has the artist's personal room they paint in which I thought was cool, some were open and other's were closed. There were plenty of paintings show casing their work. If interested in any of the pieces you just tell the guy working at the front, and mention the artist's name, and title of the picture. As I walked back downstairs I told the guy I was there to pick up 2 Victor Roman art pieces (Miss Green & Miss Mirren), and a August Williams (Paris). My husband contacted him and told him I'd be there. The guy grabbed my pictures, I was very pleased with the quality of the pictures. You can pay by pay pal, cc, or cash. I paid with CC and was e-mailed a receipt promptly. I can't wait to go back and bring others along.

This place had art from abstract, to traditional, to contemporary. Most was either not my style or…read moreamateurish. But there were the 1 or 2 pieces where I thought to myself...hmmmm, not bad. But overall feel of things was a bit all over the place because of the huge differences between all the art; this seems to be easy to do when you rent space to so many different artists, but this gallery needs to find a better way to bring some more uniformity between the different art, or better the flow some how. Atmosphere was a bit stark, and empty feeling. Had a pretty good size crowd, very mixed and they welcomed kiddies which is always nice...they too should enjoy art, and why not start them early with appreciation of free expression. I would check them out again during one of the Escondido art walks.

It seems he has created a school of 'speed paiting' with so many followers and also other artists doing similar activity in different events I have been invited to. The canvas rotating and the brushes like jumping in the air while admiring guests nibbling on bites was one of the milestones of the event Masters of Color last Saturday at Lexus Escondido. I like his depiction of women, especially the flamenco dancers, as well as the celebrities like Dali expressed with a very explosive palette of colors. I am considering taking a class at this new studio on the second floor of the Lexus building, as he offers art classes and private lessons as well.

My cousin asked for a second bag bec she's giving the things as presents ... the salesperson said NO ONE BAG PER CUSTOMER... she said it in a very rude way... my cousin said I'll pay for the bag ... she said no ... then she changed her mind and pulled out another bag ... by the way the bag I'm talking about is these tiny paper bags that you buy a dozen from target for $4.99 they are not fancy at all... My cousin took out $5 and gave them to her and the salesperson was so nervous and saying please step aside I want to help other customers and she yelled at her have a nice rest of your day. She was unprofessional and I will never go back to that store although I loved a piece there the horse they had at the entrance that I was planning on purchasing .... but I will never give a penny to this store .

The side of Icarus that I find more interested is the vast array of classes they offer: from oil painting to mini mosaic seascape to the most fascinating fascinator hat making! (I hope they keep teaching this class, as it is very unique and I missed the session in August). Classes prices varied, for example the fascinator one was $45 including all material, lasting 2 hours on a Sunday. What a nice way to spend a day at the winery! The workshop area is separated from the selling one, but it is also open space where visitors of the winery can freely enter and check those students taking the now so omnipresent everywhere wine and paint class. Demographics in these workshops tend to be mostly senior women, but of course they are open to everybody who wants to exploit their creative self at any age. Looking forward more interesting classes.

Artisan's Gallery & More is a place where a lot of crappy art is kept. I'm not trying to be a bitch, I'm just being honest. There are, however, a few gems among all the muck. There are these beautifully detailed, hand-embroidered pieces that are phenomenal. And one artist, Ann Phong, has a few paintings hanging that will blow your mind. You have to really look for 'em--the place really is just smothered in so much crap.
