Unknown EXHIBITION Paintings Bing Zhang DATES: JAN 29 - MAY 7 YEAR: 2022 Previously on view in the Unknown < Back OVERVIEW ADDITIONAL INFORMATION "I tend to paint people in moments of introspection or concentration. I want to capture moments when people show their real character and mood which are normally hidden behind the mask they put on in public. My painting is also about story telling. I try to tell stories that show the hidden truth which reflects people's relationship, their living condition, their mental state, their interests, and other aspects of their disposition in the world. My goal is to search out the humanity within these situations." Bing Zhang Previous Next

< Back Khat Zorig & Kyle Dell'Aquila SEPT 28 - JAN 5 Energies Khat and Kyle are partners in life, business, and creativity. They explore the intersection of nature, humanity, and machines. Their work embodies the cross-section of internal and external energies with the shared mission of empowering those often overlooked. Khat’s energies focus on internal empowerment, nurturing resilience, and healing within individuals, particularly the underprivileged. On the other hand, Kyle's energies are channeled into external empowerment, manifesting through technological innovation and artistic expression. Artist Statement: Our commitment is challenging the status quo and envisioning a future where creativity, technology, and courage intersect to shape our better world. This commitment was inspired and encouraged by our mentor, Bill Warner, a visionary who transformed the film industry. His influence motivated us to follow our energies and create ZORIG, which means "Courage" in Mongolian. It is not just a sci-fi movie and futureware brand; it embodies the spirit of bravery and the conviction to speak and act from the heart. Through ZORIG, we explore the power of science fiction as a medium to dream and visualize the future we want to live in - one that’s nature-loving, techno-optimistic, and humanity empowering. Movies profoundly impact shaping mindsets and influencing the collective imagination, yet the current state of the film industry disheartens us. Real stories are often overlooked, lacking diversity, and commercial interests frequently stifle creativity. Our mission is to disrupt this narrative by telling stories our way, inspiring change, and empowering the underrepresented. Our work extends beyond the screen into the tangible world of fashion. We have seen the devastating effects of the fashion industry on the environment, and we refuse to contribute to its harmful practices. Instead, we embrace a made-to-order approach, ensuring that every piece we create is a statement of power, style, as well as a commitment to sustainability and responsible consumption. Both through our futuristic Mongolian themes and our earth-loving designs, we hope to make people feel like powerful techno-warriors when they’re wearing our garments. As we continue to develop our sci-fi movie, we release snippets and showcase products that reflect the themes and values of our story. Each piece we create is a fusion of art, technology, and storytelling, designed to inspire others to imagine and build the future we all deserve. Previous Next

Rotunda Gallery EXHIBITION Happenstance Jeff Owen DATES: SEPT 2 - JAN 7 YEAR: 2023 Previously on view in the Rotunda Gallery < Back OVERVIEW ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Happenstance - An Unexpected Journey My artist life began as a child sitting in the back seat of a 1957 Chevrolet with a drawing tablet – only the best from the art store – and my favorite #2 pencil. My mother would throw me and all of her drawing supplies into the car and drive all around town looking for interesting buildings, homes, or people to draw. Always on a busy street, cars whizzing by with all the noise that accompanies them; no matter, we were there to draw whatever was out the side window of the car. I’d say my drawings were never much to look at, but I always received tons of “that’s beautiful” or “I wish I could draw like that” from Mom. Sometimes my scale would be off, sometimes my perspective. No problem, Mom encouraged me. Each adventure would top the last – and each finishing with a quick roll up of the window, a buckle of the seatbelt, and a retreat to home where Mom would pull out her recent work and “touch up” her drawing – then – she began to paint. This was the best time. The fumes of oil and turpentine would fill the house. We, my sister and I, would run over and open a window to get some fresh air into the room – Mom was painting! We would watch her paint, and then, for some unknown reason (except for being a kid) we’d find something else to do – until our curiosity sparked us to again go and see how far she had come with her latest “masterpiece.” This was my introduction to art. My art evolved over the years, sometimes taken with painting, sometimes drawing, until that one special day that I discovered welding. My father-in-law, Chet Christison, lived in Fresno. We would visit him and his wife Thelma at least three or four times per year. His workshop, a huge outbuilding on the property, was filled with woodworking tools. Little did I know that he also loved metal. Inside his workshop, in a corner that you could barely get to without disturbing all the feral cats he loved so much, away from everything else, was an oxy-acetylene torch set, and next to it, a small welder. “What the heck is this?” I asked him. “Oh that, you wouldn’t know” he said. “That’s for welding metal.” I asked him if he wanted it, since I could see it had not been used in some time. “What are you going to do with it? You don’t even know how to use it.” I finally got him to give it to me. The welder went into the back of my truck, along with the oxy set. I was determined to put them to good use. I must be able to find something that needs welding... -------------- My technique is brute force, decide-at-the-moment. My creative process emerges with patterns. I incorporate patterns into all of my sculptures. Taking one piece of steel, adding to it, or deleting from it, then ending when the sculpture encompasses all of my creativity, this is what charges up my artistic energies. When my creative force is flowing, I work on a sculpture to completion. It is finished when the creative flow ends. I have been an artist all my life. I am fascinated with engineering and architecture. The shapes of metal, its patterns, textures and grains all entice me to create. My ability to cut and weld metal allows me to create any art I desire. My aspiration is to create sculpture that is unique, something that no one has done before. I resist conformity and mass production. My art is as individual as I am. My art belongs to our present time or any time. My art does not represent reality inspired by the real world. It makes use of patterns representing independent relationships with no reference – “contemporary-abstraction.” I take delight in rummaging through metal scrap yards, finding those particular pieces of steel that stir me in some way or other. I have feelings for inanimate objects. When I see something tossed aside, I ponder why? I wonder where it has been and where it is going. Each piece I touch has its own individual tale. Was it once part of a bridge, supporting travelers to distant cities? Was it once part of a water tower, supplying nourishment to gardens? Was it used to manufacture others, like itself? When I’ve rescued that piece from limbo, it may take me only moments, or possibly many months, to understand within myself what that metal wants, or needs, to become. Only then will I fulfill “its” dream. Jeff Owen 2023 "Lost Horizons" Previous Next

< Back Hana Lock SEP 14 - JAN 5 Anatomica Hana Lock is the Best of Show winner for the 2023 Salon at the Triton. Her work is an intriguing mix of bizarre and sublime, depicting in great detail our delicate anatomy alongside or combined with other wonderful creatures such as rabbits, frogs, mice, snakes, wolves, beautiful plants and flowers - our connection to the natural world. Her work displays our vulnerability and forces us to confront what is inevitable - that, along with all over living beings, we will all die and decompose. However, this fate is not portrayed as something to be feared, but rather embraced as part of the natural rhythm of life and death. This exhibition will include a selection of 2D works by the artist. Artist Statement: Anatomica is a collection of paintings and drawings that draw inspiration from my love of anatomy and fascination with the transience of life, the inevitability of death, and the mystery of what lies beyond. My work offers a holistic view of the body by highlighting the beauty of its internal structures without shying from the grotesque. Referencing visual and philosophical concepts from Buddhism and European medieval funerary art, my art often features anatomized bodies being strewn across the composition as their viscera intertwines with flora and fauna. In my practice, I primarily use ballpoint pen, watercolor, and acrylic to create intricate and precise line work and vibrant, flat colors reminiscent of Japanese woodblock prints and Art Nouveau. I strive for precision and detail, and I believe that in addressing the formal and conceptual qualities inherent in line, I am effectively capturing the delicate intricacies of the natural and imaginative world.
