In the first of a series of exhibitions coming up in 2011, Gallery Director, Renée Fox has coordinated a list of prominent writers and critics to curate shows exhibiting the talents and artworks of local artists in the Los Angeles community. In this particular exhibit, Peter Frank explores "Densities: Line Becoming Shape, Shape Becoming Object". In an effort to follow the pencil or the brush as it goes from a sketch on the canvas to a painting on a wall, Frank has selected works that demonstrate the values of Densities. With every mark an artist makes, comes a defining of the character of the work. If you get an opportunity to examine the works in this exhibit (within the latest gallery to open in Inglewood on La Brea), you'll discover these works reveal more than just the intricate marks made time after time to build up the canvases into elaborate abstractions and creative flights of fancy. These works depict the mood and tone of Los Angeles based artists. Defying the economic stresses and strains within the system, the artists selected reveal a playfulness and even a exuberant vibrancy to the color and the marks. With splashes of color and marks in the spirit of a new year, these paintings and drawings closed out the dismal aspects of 2010 and rang in the new year with fresh insights into economic renewal, new perspectives and enduring continuity of the art process. Come explore for yourself at the open house on
Saturday, Jan 22, 2011 from 1:00pm - 6:00pm!
