Artist:<\/strong>\u00a0Sinziana Velicescu<\/p>\n

Artwork:\u00a0<\/strong>Koreatown Los Angeles<\/em>, 2016<\/p>\n

Gallery:<\/strong> Uprise Art<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What to know:\u00a0<\/strong>The photograph shows a detail of St. Basil Catholic Church in Koreatown, designed by AC Martin & Assoc. and was built in the late 60s. Velicescu told AZ, “I just happened upon this building without knowing about it previously, despite having lived in LA my whole life. It was a lovely find for me and educational experience as I\u2019m always trying to find unusual and overlooked architecture around Los Angeles. The St. Basil\u2019s Church is definitely a building I\u2019d recommend any architecture aficionado to visit for its stark brutalist look that provides a modern touch to the historical Wilshire Blvd, known most famously for its art deco buildings. ”<\/p>\n

Artist<\/strong>:\u00a0Cristina Gayarre<\/p>\n

Artwork:<\/strong>\u00a0Morenita<\/em>, 2016<\/p>\n

Gallery<\/strong>: standArte<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What to know:<\/strong>\u00a0The artwork is made with pieces of paper instead of paint as she normally does. After the success of her editions of Pelirrojas she decided to continue with the same figures, but using different materials. Instead of changing the image, she decided to change her technique.<\/p>\n

Artist<\/strong>: Gee Gee Collins<\/p>\n

Artwork<\/strong>: History in Full Color<\/em><\/p>\n

Gallery<\/strong>: Lilac Gallery<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What to know<\/strong>:\u00a0This piece is mixed media and spray paint on heavyweight paper. \u201cHistory in Full Color\u201d series is a celebration of color throughout history. Collins told AZ, “I start each painting without a preconceived idea of the outcome. Painting intuitively allowing each color and line to dictate the next. As the colors and lines combine and layer, I work to find balance and harmony. There is a point in which the last mark or color is layered and the story is complete.”<\/p>\n

Artist<\/strong>: Bonnie and Clyde<\/p>\n

Artwork<\/strong>: Ice Cream Plaza<\/em><\/p>\n

Gallery<\/strong>: Liberty and Gas Gallery<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What to know:<\/strong>\u00a0Ice Cream Plaza<\/em> incorporates a series photographs taken by the artist amassed from a trip to Havana. It’s inspired by the socialist ice cream industry within Castro\u2019s Cuba, and by Coppelia, the capital\u2019s \u2018ice cream cathedral.’ Bonnie and Clyde have collaged together images from Plaza Viego with strips of beautiful, soft, ice cream colours peppered with white sprinkle shapes in a graphic nod to the frozen delight.\u00a0An off-kilter, black and white tiled floor streaks across the center of the print to summon the feel of a kitchen or parlor and to create Bonnie and Clyde\u2019s surreal and dizzying vision of Cuba\u2019s crumbling, yet elegant and spirited capital city.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Artist<\/strong>: Joe Webb<\/p>\n

Artwork<\/strong>: The Big Splash Diamond Dust<\/em><\/p>\n

Gallery<\/strong>: JEALOUS<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What to know:\u00a0<\/strong>Webb uses vintage magazines and printed ephemera that he has collected to create simple but elegant handmade collages. After many years of working on computers as a graphic artist, Joe turned his back on technology and started making \u2018analogue\u2019 collages. The artist uses found imagery and a pair of scissors; there’s no googling for material and no Photoshop to resize, adjust or undo.There’s an element of serendipity in finding images that work together that can’t be replicated in the digital world. He wanted to get back to basics so set himself a simple rule of working from just two images; it’s interesting to find what narratives appear when two conflicting ideas are juxtaposed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Artist<\/strong>: Elizabeth Waggett<\/p>\n

Artwork<\/strong>: For Lovers<\/em><\/p>\n

Gallery<\/strong>: galerie\u00a0Barrou Planquart<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What to know:<\/strong>\u00a0This piece was created for the Waggett’s first solo show in NYC and was the first piece to sell from the show. The piece was inspired by a line from \u2018Friends\u2019 the sitcom,\u201cHe\u2019s her Lobster,\u201d implying that lobsters mate for life (which they don\u2019t), but became a symbol of love to those of that era. The gold symbolizes the value we place on the lobster as a delicacy when its true value is as a crucial part of our ecosystem. Waggett told AZ,\u00a0“The two lobsters are an exact mirror image of one another, suggesting what we see in others we see in ourselves, what we put into life we get out of life, if we show love, we are loved back. I hope this artwork will bring the happiness of feeling loved, while also opening the conversation of how we can all do better in loving one another and our planet.”<\/p>\n

Artist<\/strong>: Samantha Williams-Chapelsky<\/p>\n

Artwork<\/strong>: I will leave the light on<\/em>, 2017<\/p>\n

Gallery<\/strong>: Feral Fine Art<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What to know:<\/strong>\u00a0This painting is on birch panel and using a pigment called Phthalo Green Yellow Shade that almost has a phosphorescent quality, which allows the piece to glow in certain lights. This is a relatively small piece (24\u201d x 24\u201d) and yet it incorporates 3 cups of acrylic texture. The piece is\u00a0inspired by the night landscape of northern Alberta, this piece faintly references the luminescent quality of the Northern Lights. The artist told AZ, \u201cI am to capture the moment and a particular emotion with opposing textural applications. This piece explores a moment of finding a path within a sea of darkness.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Artist<\/strong>:\u00a0James Sparshatt<\/p>\n

Artwork<\/strong>: Te veo<\/em>, 2003<\/p>\n

Gallery<\/strong>: Capital Culture Gallery<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What to know<\/strong>:\u00a0One of a series of nine portraits printed on brushed aluminum. Each has an individual character that is illuminated by light, strength of character, and resilience embodied in the material. The Cuban medical system is oft quoted as a model for the third world. A lot of doctors and nurses are trained and treatment is brought to the people through local\u00a0policl\u00ednico<\/em>. However, resources are stretched and techniques are of a different age. The subject in \u201cTe veo\u201d or “I can see you”\u00a0had his cataracts removed and then been given thickened glasses. The artist told AZ, “Color for me is a distraction. In black and white you are left with a subjects character, the lines of a life written across a face.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Artist<\/strong>:\u00a0Apostles Chantzaras<\/p>\n

Artwork<\/strong>: The Bathers<\/em><\/p>\n

Gallery<\/strong>:\u00a0DECORAZONgallery<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Artwork<\/strong>:\u00a0The series by Apostles Chantzaras titled \u201cThe Bathers\u201d is all about the deep blue, and the feeling of expansiveness. The piece emanates sun-kissed bliss, happiness, and playing under the sun. \u201cFos,\u201d the Greek word for light, is paramount to Chantzaras\u2019 artwork.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Artist<\/strong>: Rosie Turnbull<\/p>\n

Artwork<\/strong>:\u00a0Adobe Village 1<\/em><\/p>\n

Gallery<\/strong>: Inart Gallery<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What to know<\/strong>:\u00a0“Adobe Village 1<\/em> was part of a series of small en Pleinair works from a painting trip the artist took in October 2017 with other artists to Morocco. This was painted in the small village called Tamtottouchte. Adobe Village 1<\/em> was drawn in pastel in front of the subject, and then painted over with gouache. It is in this process that the work shifts from a mere architectural representation of place into a more painterly evocation, using memory, and allows the artist to reimagine the scene, changing and playing with tones until it transforms into something else that has become independent, with its own entity.” The artist said in a statement to Art Zealous.<\/p>\n
