The grand opeing was last night, and all the beautiful people of Los Angeles were here to see and be seen. This being our first art fair, we are very happy with the attention our artists have been getting. Although the well-known Graydon Parrish, Jeffrey Ripple and Daniel Sprick bring people in, our emerging and international artists are getting well-deserved recognition as well: Valerio D'Ospina, Simon McWilliams and Raghava KK are getting positive responses from critics, buyers and fellow artists and the wonderful Fred Wessel is wowing admirers with his goldleaf/egg tempera "Scorpio". Stay tuned and we'll be posting some pictures soon!SKOTIA GALLERYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18430211299253494815noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-890262691517374364.post-40830712948673403862011-01-14T13:09:00.000-07:002011-01-14T13:09:21.622-07:00Photo LA 2011<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMF-scyZqUpE165eBoO0gANr325xBvFvfaQYly7p_EYlJXvH_vB1rXM5_o9hUmPpalNkMDMPHtA3kv8oe-xAyn2Mm3Jd35xdq4HE_Hi_bNNb7enMlD6kfGI556bQa7Ui1GglZA3-KQQA/s1600/IMG_0624.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMF-scyZqUpE165eBoO0gANr325xBvFvfaQYly7p_EYlJXvH_vB1rXM5_o9hUmPpalNkMDMPHtA3kv8oe-xAyn2Mm3Jd35xdq4HE_Hi_bNNb7enMlD6kfGI556bQa7Ui1GglZA3-KQQA/s320/IMG_0624.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

Skotia will be concurrently hosting the final American showing of photographer and Hungarian national treasure P<span style="font: 12.0px Myriad Pro;">é</span>ter Korniss’s <i>Attachment</i> exhibition. <i>Attachment</i> was previously on view at the Hungarian Cultural Center in New York in April 2010 and Skotia Gallery will be the final chance to view these pieces in the United States.</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica Neue; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica Neue; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;">Laurence will be showing around 25 paintings, drawings and studies exploring the very personal connection he has with the Holocaust and his feelings about growing up as the child of survivors. The show will be a powerful personal essay on the struggle for an understanding of the atrocities of WWII and its connection with his family history.</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica Neue; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="letter-spacing: -0.1px;"></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica Neue; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="letter-spacing: -0.1px;">Laurence has been drawing and painting the figure for more </span>than thirty years. Not very interested in the pop art or conceptual art of his contemporaries, he found himself more engaged with the luminosity of the figures seen in the museums of old masters. He works with a three-layer oil painting process known as indirect painting using glazes and color to high<span style="letter-spacing: -0.1px;">light </span>his structural forms with the intention to use classicism in a modern way. Geoffrey’s work explores the relationship between the contemporary figure and specific classical paintings. Though his work utilizes the knowledge of 600 years of classical painting there is an intention to maintain a connection between the old masters techniques and its relationship to the representation of the modern figure. He does not consider himself a naturalistic realist but is more concerned with the challenges of creating an emotional narrative that speaks to modern times. Laurence considers himself more of an “emotionalist” or “feelist” rather than the typical classification of a contemporary realist.</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica Neue; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="letter-spacing: -0.1px;"></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica Neue; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;">Laurence’s work has been acquired by public and private collections including the London Borough of Camden in the UK, Museum of Fine Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Giorgio Armani, Gene Hackman and NM Department of Cultural Affairs. He has received awards such as the Robert Rauschenberg Award in 2004 and Walter Erlebacher Award in 1995. He has shown his work abroad in Europe, Canada, and across the Untied States from coast to coast and continues to teach painting in academies across the nation and exhibit his work widely. </div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica Neue; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #d9d9d9; font-family: Calibri;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">On Thursday August 5</span><sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">th</span></sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> from 6-8pm, Skotia Gallery will have an opening reception for </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The New Metropolis</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">, featuring Northern Irish artist Simon McWilliams and Italian artist Valerio D’Ospina. McWilliams will be showing 14 new works in the show, and D’Ospina will be showing 6 new paintings. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #d9d9d9; font-family: Calibri;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Both artists, though possessing very different sensibilities (McWilliams with his playful bright palette, and D’Ospina with his solemn grisaille), share a fascination with the man-made, and a curious rejection of the man himself. D’Ospina’s and McWilliams’ paintings are conspicuously devoid of humanity, and simply depict ghostly artifacts of constructed objects: giant skeletons of scaffolding, an empty room of old engines, a broken down bus deteriorating in a dusty shed. The images are ominous, and the sheer scale of the paintings leave one with the feeling that these objects have taken on a significance that one wouldn’t ordinarily ascribe to such commonplace items. A fundamental shift in perspective happens at the societal level: McWilliams seems to revel in the wonder of progress, invention, construction, where D’Ospina laments that very same progress by depicting the fossils of a more optimistic industrial era. The tension between modern activity on one hand and the detritus it inevitably becomes on the other creates a soulful, profound, and incredibly beautiful essay on the materialism and industry of modern man. </span></span><span style="color: #d9d9d9; font-family: Calibri;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Rocky Rische-Baird is an artist born and raised in Northern California who divides his time between the San Francisco Bay Area and a studio in the village of Putney, Vermont. Rische-Baird’s work, beautiful and peaceful, timeless and reflective, and stunning in both vision and rendering, reflects his deep love and affinity for nature, as well as his interest in questions regarding consciousness, the self, and the unity between the human mind, wonder, and nature. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Fascinated and enamored with drawing, painting, and the natural world from the earliest of ages, Rische-Baird spent his every waking free hour honing his craft and exploring and observing nature, which led to a series of apprenticeships starting at a very young age with various artists and craftsmen, and eventual employment as an assistant art director in his teens at a printing and design studio. Later, Rische-Baird moved to the San Francisco Bay Area where he has shown his work in Bay Area galleries, been voted “Best of the Bay” by the San Francisco Bay Guardian, accepted commissions to be part of permanent city collections, and has frequently been featured in numerous publications, such as the San Francisco Chronicle and Oakland Magazine, as well as featured on ABC News and KCBS radio. Through all of this, Rische-Baird has continued to create technically masterful works of a unique vision all his own, inspired by expressions throughout the ages that reflect concepts of continuity within nature and/or the self and how they relate to our contemporary perceptions of the world and our role in it; works that strive to portray an eternal essence of nature through timeless and magical pieces that place the value onto the wonder of being.</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

The portraits are of no one and the scenes are of no particular place or thing. They are not records of people or things in a phenomenal world but emerge from a world within and prompt questions regarding consciousness and the self.</i></span><span style="font-family: Times;"><i><o:p></o:p></i></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><i>Analogously, my work shares strong philosophical similarities with the Chinese landscape paintings of the Song Dynasty, particularly those of the Northern Song artists. As in my work, the Song paintings did not record specific sites, but strove to portray an eternal essence of nature, whereas the painting became an expression of the desire to commune with nature. Though my work shares this motive in regard to landscape, I also apply the method to my figures, thus portraying a likeness of human essence that is too, an attribute of nature.</i></span><span style="font-family: Times;"><i><o:p></o:p></i></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><i>I draw inspiration from expressions throughout the ages that reflect concepts of continuity within nature and/or the self and how they relate to our contemporary perceptions of the world and our role in it. I am interested in the idea that what is sought may only be that which has been forgotten. My work has been greatly influenced by the Platonic dialogue, Phaedrus; whereas Plato pictures the human soul in some previous state of being, as having been able to comprehend the spiritual forms with perfect clarity, a vision in which the incarnate soul retains a shadowy memory.</i></span><span style="font-family: Times;"><i><o:p></o:p></i></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><i>A core concern in my work is that of timelessness. I want to create work that is compelling and could resonate in all three spectrums of time. The exclusion of any representation of dress frees the work from values placed upon temporal material modes. Similarly, the figures rest in a space devoid of worldly influence and human concerns, placing the value onto the wonder of being." </i><b><a href="http://thepenleaf.com/">Click for an interview with Rocky</a></b></span><br />

Rimi’s paintings have a special way of captivating her viewers, drawing them into a dream-like world that combines east and west, classical and contemporary. Her work has been celebrated worldwide since her graduation from Bowling Green State University in 1987; she has enjoyed solo exhibitions in New York, Denmark, Los Angeles and British Columbia, as well as group exhibitions in London, Amsterdam, Rome, Copenhagen, and Miami. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Pointing at the Moon includes 16 new paintings by Rimi. Of the exhibition, she explains: “The romantic title of my show emanates from our absurd and vain attempts to describe the Ultimate Reality, like answering by pointing our finger at the moon… My evolving technique presently is to place oil on the canvas & then take it away until I find, in the shifting of shapes, something real. One day I trust I shall give in to my painting, to surrender completely & in doing so, use one stroke to place oil, while taking nothing away, creating a reality which remains forever.” </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><br /></span></div><img style="float:left;

Aggression, tension, action, and drama all take their places in surprisingly graceful compositions that the artist considers to be his most cohesive body of work. His proportions provide the combatants with substance and monumentality: the tensed heaving bodies of the fighters fill the canvas and blot out murky backgrounds in an effort to focus the viewers’ attention on a moment of frozen action. Energetic, gestural brushstrokes and thick impasto are characteristic of Huston’s style and are used liberally throughout these images, endowing the series with a potent punch. </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#330033;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#330033;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Steve Huston’s “Contend” is now on display at Skotia Gallery.

font-family:Arial, serif;font-size:medium;">Drawn and Tempered includes 24 of Spencer’s pieces, mostly new works. A large portion of the show features oil on paper pieces from Spencer’s Whirlwind Series, along with his oils on canvas and panel. Regarding the Whirlwind Series, Spencer explains that his “love of drawing; the immediacy, the spontaneity and suggestive quality of it enable me to evoke the whirlwind that is our times. Drawing with paint, with color, tempers the action and enhances a sense of urgency.”</span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"><div style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style=";color:#330033;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; "><span style=" ;font-family:Arial;">The opening for Drawn and Tempered was held on Friday, October 16th at Skotia Gallery from 5:30 to 7:30pm. The artist was in attendance along with an astounding crowd – simply moving around became difficult among Spencer’s bevy of admirers.

The children in this show embody what is often lost to societal and cultural influence on the way to adulthood -- uninhibited and raw emotion, sincerity, and a world occupied with magic and wonder, I see myself as the guide and protector for this regiment of girls and the associated self-portraits are a direct reflection of my own attempts to move forward through this troubled world.”</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">“My work portrays an environment where very abstract ideas are tweaked to become human, and human emotions are abstracted into painterly process. These works articulate and crystallize abstract, subconscious ideas into individual portraits through the intuitive process of oil painting so they can then be more thoroughly examined in the guise of the human form. Each portrait is an iteration of myself, as each one is born from a particular place in the depths of my psyche.”</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; "><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">“Although portraiture has been used as a tool to express and explore latent psychological ideals since the beginning of time, its uses in the contemporary art world have been regularly disregarded.

Most noted for his brooding, epic landscapes, Turner’s vast array of human physiognomies seem to inherit the same topographical quality as an undulating valley vista. The moody, psychological reflections and use of impasto betray the stylistic tradition of the German Fauves and Expressionists, while his use of violent color and exaggerated features recall such influences as Vincent Van Gogh and Francis Bacon. Peppered throughout the series are the sometimes fictitious self portraits; the imaginary traits and disfigurements lending a slightly unsettling but poetic quality to the collection of visages. Skotia Gallery is Population’s first stop in a traveling installation that will subsequently be exhibited in the Pasadena Museum of California Art, and San Francisco CA.
