Alex Donis, Pas de Deux On Saturday, Sherry Frumkin hosts an artist reception for Santa Monica artist Alex Donis’ latest paintings of his Pas de Deux series. Donis pairs the unlikely partners of soldiers from opposing battlefields in poses of classical ballet, expanding on the visual language he began in the controversial WAR exhibit. The resulting images are at once an hilarious and shocking metaphor for the dance of death taking place in the Middle East. 6-9 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 16 Sherry Frumkin Gallery 3026 Airport Ave., studio 21 (310) 397-7493
