Start Time(s): Artist Reception: June 6th, from 6-8pm

“Lost in Translation” showcases works by Belgium-born artist Anja Van Herle and Spanish artist Alberto Murillo Born in Belgium in 1969, Anja Van Herle combines a European sense of high fashion in her artwork with an American sense of wonder Her childhood years were devoted to exploring the fundamentals of her art using crayons, pencils and watercolors In 1987, she enrolled in Belgium’s Higher Institute for Art Education where she earned a Master’s of Fine Arts in Painting Anja now concentrates on figurative paintings that are inspired by both classic and contemporary fashion while exploring issues of identity, emotion and human interrelationships As timelessly chic as Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Anja’s women are playfully sexy, and their expressions and eyes tell stories that go far beyond the simple exhibition of fine fashion In Anja’s masterful hands, fashion becomes alive “These women—they feel” “My work is an attempt to capture the complexity of emotions that are conveyed in the human face I’ve been painting portraits since I was a child, continually drawing closer to the face and eyes in order to explore the emotions they contain There’s a story behind every face; my paintings are an attempt to tell these stories by capturing delicate facial expressions and juxtaposing them with vibrant color and the dramatic interplay of shadow and light that both inform my subjects and maintain their enigmatic aura I’m constantly delighted by the various interpretations my work receives For some, a subject may be pensive, while to others it may be seductive or confrontational Part of the viewing experience is for a viewer to attach his or her own emotional meaning to a work,”-Anja Van Herle Artist Alberto Murillo, born in Madrid, Spain in 1974, says of his work: “This statement is not intended to be a conventional one by any means Maybe it’s the language barrier or it could be I am just not good expressing myself in words Perhaps that’s the main reason I am an Artist, so I could express my point of view in a more visual way My latest collection is titled “Therapy”, because that is literally what my work has been for me for the last several months It has taken me out of the dark After having the most traumatic experience of my life at the end of last year, I felt lost and empty Nothing was making any sense During that incredibly hard time I remained calm, composed and strong That was what my family needed But after coming back to where I now call home, America, the loss and emptiness left its toll on me big time For months I kept having the same nightmare I could not work, or for that matter, function at all The color in my work was gone So, in a way, this new collection has saved me It shows all I had inside and could not express in any other way They are strong, soulful, colorful pieces They are order in chaos They are my most personal work ever, and on top of that I am having the time of my life,” Alberto Murillo]]>

Start Time(s): By appointment only

Jovan Karlo Villalba's interest is in the imagination With his work, he attempts to initiate a refreshing experience by stimulating contemplation and escapism in a viewer His painting process combines an array of mark-making and an additive and subtractive layering technique This process enables him to continuously cover and expose the underlying surface – a reflective stainless steel panel – until the desired balance of paint and steel is achieved This balance, mostly determined by form and subject, plays a crucial role as it allows his painted image to coalesce with reflected light and motion The result is work that is in constant flux, navigating between a depicted and a “real” environment His hope is that the experience of seeing his work will engage his audience and serve as a means for him to effectively comment on present-day social and environmental issues Jovan Karlo Villalba (b 1977, Quito, Ecuador) was raised in Miami, Florida He is an alumnus of New World School of the Arts in Miami and the Cooper Union School of Art (BFA) in New York City Villalba began to exhibit his work in New York City while working from his art studio located in the Chelsea Art District Over the last decade, Villalba has exhibited his work at galleries and art institutions throughout the United States, including in solo exhibitions in New York City, Los Angeles, and Miami His work has been published worldwide and was recently featured in biennial exhibitions at the Hollywood Art and Culture Center and at the Queens Museum of Art Villalba presently lives and works in Miami, Florida]]>

James Verbicky never ceases to amaze and is always looking to challenge himself and the viewer As a self-taught artist, James is always experimenting, giving us a peek behind that curtain "The media paintings bridge the gap between sculpture and painting by binding fragments of vintage media to one another, double-exposing language and image and melting them in upon themselves By unearthing and layering the remnants of dozens of decades of disparate generations, the media paintings transcend simple words and images and become objects containing the essence of human culture" - James Verbicky Born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada in 1973, from Polish descent, James lived the majority of his early life between Victoria and Vancouver, British Columbia, however, as an adult he relocated to the US James Verbicky has developed a strong presence in the contemporary art market and was selected for a 110 year-old juried exhibition at the Louvre, in Paris, France with the Societie Nationale des Beaux-Arts James Verbicky’s work will inspire, provoke, engage and mesmerize]]>

Boxes of Death is an art exhibition where 50 artists are each given their own coffin to do with what they want The idea spawned from Kane Quaye, a famous coffin maker from Africa His philosophy was that a coffin should not just be a pine box, but something that represents the person inside and their life Each artist in the show uses the same coffin canvas format to create their own artistic statement surrounding the preconceived notions and ideas of the coffin shape The people in the show have a chance to step out of their comfort zone and faced with the idea of death, react to it The result is a visually compelling installation contrasting repetition and individuality Boxes of Death showcases artists from the farthest reaches of the continental US as well as some international artists and highlights an incredibly diverse range of creative backgrounds]]>

Start Time(s):

Formerly known as the California Biennial, OCMA has re-envisioned this important survey of contemporary California art and will re-launch it as the California-Pacific Triennial in 2013 with participating artists representing a cross-section of countries from throughout the Pacific rim California’s geographical position on the Pacific Ocean has enriched its cultural prominence The demographics of the state are strongly linked to the diverse countries throughout the Pacific rim, which are increasingly producing some of the most innovative art today Despite the phenomenal economic and cultural growth of Asian and Latin American countries that boarder the Pacific, and California's proximity to these developments, there is no ongoing exhibition on the West Coast that regularly explores this activity With national boundaries becoming more porous and artistic connections happening between artists and viewers from a broad range of cultural backgrounds, the flow of ideas and images crisscrossing the planet becomes a crucial component of any contemporary art survey The California-Pacific Triennial will place artists working in California within this broader global network, one that is particularly relevant to our region, and that will offer visitors their only opportunity to engage in a more cosmopolitan conversation about contemporary art  ]]>

In this summer’s main-level exhibition, Laguna Art Museum presents a collection of works by contemporary artists who mimic reality with a playful twist, in the process raising questions of authenticity and duplication Often using off-beat materials, and showing a sly sense of humor, they take as their subject-matter items that anyone might pass over without a second thought, such as food, furniture, or domestic knick-knacks By turning the ordinary into art, they get us to think about how things are made, what they are made from, and how we see them in our everyday experience]]>

Don Pendleton is an American artist whose techniques range from creating digital and hand painted artwork for his legendary body of skateboard graphics to original acrylics on canvas for gallery shows, murals, conceptual art, and installation pieces that merge linguistics with his narrative artistic vision His aesthetic compositions resonate from linear organic cubist creations and similarly move to more expressionist forms that deal with issues of communication in a narrative, visual context He often incorporates references to insects, animals and ambiguous characters to complete his finished compositions These equivocal Archetypes are in constant interaction competing for space within the linear composition of the painting creating a confluence of tension and issues of communication that is a metaphorical reflection on the state of contemporary society and culture]]>
