bagayan there is time to kill today

Thinkspace Gallery is pleased to present There Is Kill To Kill Today, an exhibition by Ana Bagayan. It will showcase new paintings, drawings and the debut of a new series of charcoal works on canvas from artist Ana Bagayan.

“Although theres no unifying theme to this show, the inspiration for the work comes from the metaphysical- ghosts, spirits, intergalactic space creatures, anything that hints at the idea that we are just a small part of the unimaginably vast universe. Some of the works are based on hypnosis sessions of people who believed they had been abducted by aliens. I’ve created human/alien hybrid creatures based on the experiences these people described. All of the works, I feel incorporate the inherent beauty of interpreting both the known and unknown.” -Ana Bagayan

The reception for There Is Kill To Kill Today is open to the public and will take place on Saturday, February 4th from 5 to 8pm. The exhibition will be on view until February 25th, 2012.

***Check out the digital previews HERE.
***Two new prints will be released on the opening day of the exhibition.
Remaining prints will go on sale Monday, February 6th HERE.

Weekend Features: Sylvia Ji “Gilded Roses” @ Corey Helford Gallery

ji gilded roses

Corey Helford Gallery is pleased to present Gilded Roses, a solo exhibition by Los Angeles artist Sylvia Ji. A study of “the ornamented being”, Ji embodies this beauty as a rose in her new collection, “Gilded Roses.” For the exhibition, Ji will unveil twelve new paintings inspired by western European costume designs and modern couture. Ji explains, “As a child I would revel in and devour all things related to historical costume; it is a passion of mine. Bygone eras of corsets, crinolines, explosions of lace, feathers, silks, satins, glinting jewels—all gilded to a state of heightened beauty and sartorial elegance.”

Each piece created for the exhibition is “a unique exploration into my fascination with the past and what we wore” Ji notes about the intricate patterns, fine textures, and historical silhouettes that define her subjects. Her signature red palette is highlighted by an assortment of jewel tones: deep crimsons, seductive purples and crisp emeralds with extensive use of gold leaf to accentuate each piece. Capturing the essence of the show is “Regina,” Ji’s Elizabethan style portrait of “a gilded rose heavily ornamented, but behind the veneer there is strength and power.”

The reception for “Gilded Roses” is open to the public and will take place on Saturday, December 17 from 7 to 10pm. The exhibition will be on view until January 14, 2012.
