Emphasis: Extreme

July 3-25, 2009

Opening Reception, I: July 11th. 6 to 10pm

Opening Reception, II: July 18th. 6 to 10pm

Los Angeles Galleries invitational
Curated by Jeff Alu

An artist can, whenever he or she feels like it, take things to a new level. In fact, this urge to challenge themselves and push the creative envelope is often nagging away at their brain. The question is, will the artist choose to listen or not? Will they take the plunge? Will they risk failure? Will they take their art to the extreme…?

On Saturday July 18, 2009 we'll be hosting an opening party at the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art, for the exhibition "LA to OC - emphasis:EXTREME". This exhibit brings ten of the downtown Los Angeles art galleries down to the OC to exhibit works of art from select artists. The galleries exhibiting are:

Bert Green Fine Art
Crewest Gallery
Deborah Martin Gallery
Hive Gallery
Los Angeles Center for Digital Art
MONA
Pharmaka
Phyllis Stein Art
Todd/Browning Gallery

 

This exhibition, curated by Jeff T. Alu, brings together emerging, mid career and tenured artists with a common emphasis: each is committed to taking their art and creative process to a unique imaginative level. The artwork on display will range from kinetic sculpture to neon creations, computer generated imagery to more traditional art forms.
