Grafitti Lovers: Main Street Wall. Pomona Ca. is transformed

"Pomonacopia" mural rendering at the School of Arts and Enterprise in Pomona. Pomona 2015 - The School of Arts and Enterprise (The SAE) and the Friends of the SAE announce some exciting news for downtown Pomona. In what is perhaps the most important and energizing public art project unveiled in the Pomona Arts Colony in years, internationally renowned artist Andre Miripolsky will be covering every square foot of the exterior of the School of Arts and Enterprise’s new Middle School with a stunning new mural: Pomonacopia of Color. This 10,500 square-foot painting will transform the building at 375 South Main Street into a work of art that will serve as an inspiration not only to the students who attend The SAE Middle School, but also all those who live, work, or visit downtown Pomona.  It will celebrate the community’s longtime association with the arts, its exuberant colors and shapes reflecting the region’s geography and rich history, bringing a wonderful energy to the entire downtown neighborhood. The mural most certainly will become a “must-see” work for cultural tourists and those who are passionate about extraordinary public art. It will be a confirmation of The SAE’s commitment to making downtown Pomona a vibrant, vital cultural center for the region.

Previous public mural commission for School of Arts and Enterprise in Pomona CA. 2014. Andre Miripolsky’s keen understanding of pop imagery and energy launched a dynamic career that resulted in work with Elton John (the famous 1980 Concert in Central Park “Piano Keys” costume) and Bette Midler (album package/visual design for her 1982 worldwide “DeTour”), as well as Quincy Jones, The Rolling Stones, Gato Barbieri, Robin Williams, Beastie Boys, Cheap Trick, MTV, and “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno. For thirty years, he has continued to explore and discover creative wonders in his Kingdom of Color. Miripolsky lives and works at the Brewery Art Colony in downtown LA and serves on the boards of the L.A. Art Alliance, the Downtown Artwalk, and the Hollywood Arts Council. #fineartmagazine

Catch William Holman Gallery, Rebecca Bird's SYMMETRY Wednesday, September 16, from 6 to 8pm Exhibition on view from September 9 - October 10, 2015

Rebecca Bird: SYMMETRY    Opening Reception: Wednesday, September 16, from 6 to 8pm   Exhibition on view from September 9  -  October 10, 2015   William Holman Gallery | 65 Ludlow Street | New York | www.wholmangallery.com

Rebecca Bird, Helix, 2015, marbling, acrylic and oil on canvas, 50 x 30 inches

NEW YORK, August 11, 2015 -William Holman Gallery is pleased to present a second major exhibition of Rebecca Bird's new paintings and watercolors which explore the aesthetic ideal of symmetry in abstract forms, landscapes, floating geographies and waterscapes.  The works in Symmetry challenge our visual understanding of landscape and space as images that impose rationality (North is up) and subjectivity (foreground/background) on nature.  Bird has twisted the visual language of the landscape using 'double' and 'mirror' images to evoke mystical imagery and scenes from memory, cultural traces of Niagara Falls, and vast imaginary floating islands. The remarkable realism of her draughtsmanship renders many of the works as readable 'places' but they are also unsettling, surreal and reveal traces of anxiety.  The viewer becomes completely engaged in composition and detail - but is never completely secure about where she 'stands' in relationship to the work.

Rebecca Bird, Descent, 2015, Oil on Canvas, 72 x 72 inches

Descent, (72 x 72 inches) is an exquisite and surreal landscape painting in which hundreds of gaudily colored discarded shoes spill over the dusty walls of a crumbing Egyptian building in a composition based on Rembrandt's Descent from the Cross.  The sumptuary painting of the shoes suggests the brief life of consumer goods, while the indistinct urban setting suggests the obscure final destination of discarded products.  The missing half of the story appears in Sour Grapes, 2015; a New York storefront full of plastic fruit, packaging and display William Holman Gallery                           Subways:  65 Ludlow Street                                      F/M or J/M/Z to Essex/ Delancey New York, NY 10002                                B/D to Grand Street 212.475.1500 #fineartmagazine

‘Scapelands’, Sonia Mehra Chawla, Preview | Thursday, 20 August, 2015 | 6pm , till 16 September, 2015

Preview | Thursday, 20 August, 2015 | 6pm onwards Exhibition continues till 16 September, 2015 In her ongoing project, ‘Scapelands’ (2014-2015), supported by a residency grant endowed by the Charles Wallace India Trust and the British Council India, Sonia carries her preoccupation with germinative and gestational energies into a robust engagement with the landscape. ‘Scapelands’ has allowed her the latitude to deepen her research into the resources and possibilities of the axial element of her artistic practice, printmaking, at the London Print Studio, where she experimented with the photopolymer gravure or solarized intaglio fine art printmaking process. “Although photopolymers have been used in industrial processes for several years, their use in fine art printmaking is relatively recent,” writes the artist. “A drawing or photographic image on transparent high quality film is placed on the photopolymer plate and exposed to ultraviolet light in varying degrees. It is then developed and hardened at different stages before it is ready to print. ” This process bears an affinity both to traditional engraving techniques such as aquatint, which emphasizes effects of tone rather than line, and to early photography conceived literally as 'drawing with light' . Fluidly combining the phases of expedition, research, documentation and meditation in ‘Scapelands’, Sonia moves outward into diverse terrains of the natural world and simultaneously inward into the history of artistic practice, renewing landscape as a genre. Her project title is instructive: she inverts the two elements of the genre appellation, ‘landscape’, generating a semantic shift. ‘Landscape’ announces itself as artifice, for it does not exist in nature; it is the artistic imagination’s proposal of a particular way of representing or symbolizing the natural world, of transforming nature into subject. Its mirror twin, ‘Scapeland’, turns this relationship between subject and artifice around, making the ‘-scape’ the focus of inquiry, engaging with the internalized aesthetic concepts and art-historical categories that form an integral part of our lifeworld. The resulting findings constitute a territory that belongs equally to the cartographer and the psychonaut, at once geographic and oneiric. The images gathered together to form ‘Scapelands’ act both as entries in a journal, shaped within time, and as a cycle of archetypes standing outside the flux of time. Sonia Mehra Chawla’s prints and video works elude the tourist’s simple categorizations; instead, they record a pilgrim’s encounters with a universe that retains a measure of unfathomable otherness. Excerpt from Mystery and Inquiry: Reflections on Sonia Mehra Chawla’s ‘Scapelands’, a catalogue essay by Ranjit Hoskote.
