CREATION:

for artwalks

Everyone in the world is on a quest to experience the most from the universe and all things in it. Each day we embark on a perpetual path to collect those experiences in hopes that we can eventually lend them to our long list of life fulfilling moments.

Gallery exhibits, fashion shows, live music, local eateries, and mobile pop-ups create individual artistic-interac-

What will you watch and comprehend today? What will you eat? What music will you listen to? Who will you touch? Will you discover something new? And what will be the end all be all?

So many different people from all ethnic backgrounds, young and old have no trouble bonding with the energy of the night and over all feeling of being united under aesthetics.

A discovery of Self: ART WALK is Sight, Sound, Taste and Excitement.

For artists, the night proves just as profitable as collectors are everywhere during an Art Walk. While some may be well versed in the arts, its likely the Art Walk will help mold plenty of future collectors as well.

ART: the conscious use of the imagination in the production of objects intended to be contemplated or appreciated while at the same instance being totally subjective in a person’s mind rather than the external world. What ever you want it to be whallah it is, and pretty much means, anything goes, but also, that it’s not to be rushed or easily forgotten.

BEAR KIRKPATRICK ASHLEY PHOTOGRAPHY Bear Kirkpatrick’s for-bearers were an ad hoc mixture of adventurer-navigators, naturalists, whalers, Puritans, dissidents, judges, and witches. He was born in the American south to a mother raised in Brahmin Boston and to a Harvard-educated geologist father who, several days after Bear’s birth, was sent across the world to war in the jungles of Southeast Asia. His upbringing was scattered across the Eastern seaboard, resting longest on a farm in New Hampshire during his teen years where he learned the survival skills of tracking, fishing, and hunting. He was educated at Phillips Exeter Academy, the University of Michigan, and the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. He has made his living by turns as a stone-wall builder, roofer, mason’s tender, bookkeeper, furniture builder, and video art installer.

Bear Kirkpatrick defines his imagery as evidence, documents of past and present human psychological states. He is presently working to develop a model to prove that acquired characteristics are not only inheritable as a result of natural selection and artificial selection, but also as the result of psychological selection as created by the environmental pressure of human memory.

His work has been honored with the 2013 & 2014 Critical Mass Finalist Selection, the NH Charitable Foundation’s Artist Advancement Grant, Amy Arbus’ Curator’s Selection at The Center for Fine Art Photography’s 2014 Portraits Exhibition, and 3 International Photography Awards.

He has solo exhibitions presently at The Center for Fine Art Photography in Ft. Collins and jdc Fine Art in San Diego, forthcoming at 555 Gallery in Boston, and can be viewed at upcoming PHOTO LA.

JAY RIGGIO Handcut and pasted paper collage on cold press paper sourced from original book and magazine materials.

24 x 18 “This work was inspired by a longing for the past and an eagerness for what’s soon to come.

I think it represents love, a lack of understanding of love and the want to find answers to it all someday.”

“I like the way it turned out. Thematically, it goes along with the body of work that I’ve created over the past 8 months. I’m not sure what others have said about this particular piece.

Hopefully they were able to take something personal away from it.”

Jay Riggio created his first collage over 15 years ago. His inspiration came from the overwhelming desire to tell a visual story without the classic ability to illustrate.

Drawing on influences from a background in writing and film cinematography, Jay uses images from vintage magazines and books to create collages that explore his interpretations on life, love, humanity, humor and dreams.

Using an X-acto knife, scissors, and glue, Jay’s pieces bring together unrelated images that create unique visual perspectives. His collages have been featured in galleries in New York and Los Angeles.

Jay currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

GMONIK Techno Junkie PEN AND ACRYLIC During his travels in southeast Asia, GMONIK experienced first hand the effects of consumer culture. He observed the disparities between the wealthy and the impoverished classes. But there was one thing that united both - their fixation of consumer products.

With an overwhelming arena of over produced cheap goods, people would throw away their old things for shiny new versions, leaving behind the waste for nature to deal with.

This became the source and influence for GMONIK’s work.

GMONIK is preoccupied by the idea of planned obsolescence. This is the concept that things are built with the understanding they will be discarded or replaced in order to insure a continuous business on the same product. He feels that we, as a culture, are too readily able to dismiss things as old - we tend to not appreciate things for the time, ingenuity, and skill put into the development and design of objects.

After three years living abroad, GMONIK came back to the US at the end of 2012 and has been actively establishing himself as a creative force in the art community in San Diego.

The imagery in GMONIK’s work intertwines pop culture with urban decay.

ANONOMOUS ARTIST THE RESSURRECTION OF MIKE BROWN SCULPTURE AS PART OF INSTALLATION Resurrection of Michael Brown is a somber and peaceful installation piece commemorating the loss of Michael Brown who was shot and killed August 9th, 2014 by Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri. The installation uses every inch of the gallery to create a tension between protesters and police. In the middle lays Michael Brown’s body. Behind him, his body rises into the heavens. The installation speaks volumes to all religions as well as races and sexes.

Resurrection of Michael Brown promotes awareness of the current state of affairs in our country. How often we allow ourselves to give up our freedom. An unarmed man was killed. As long as we allow our enforcing class to continue to get away with murder, deaths similar to Michael Brown’s will continue to occur. Constantly, the debate rings on about the death penalty. Did this man deserve death? How can we allow this behavior to go on?

How do we justify this killing?

Roy Alexander Art is honored to commemorate Michael Brown. The Show will Open Saturday Jan. 3rd, 7 to 10pm. The exhibition will continue until Jan. 31st.

MUSE:WHEN CREATIVITY STRIKES...this month: THAT SPECIAL MOMENT

Miguel Osuna’s new series reveals his love for experimentation with media and with the exploration that furthers his creative practice. In The Bends, Osuna uproots the membranes of his earlier work, SPIN, liberating them from the tension on the canvas. His calligraphy is pulled apart, exposing a magnetism and a more robust intimacy with the surface. Osuna’s decompressed work sighs with unexpected emotion, emitting an almost audible, albeit discordant rhythm of brush strokes. The Bends offers an urgently meaningful subject matter for Osuna, high energy and motion blur the rigorous painterly passion for depth, but the reduction reveals his innate biological signature.

I was born in

M

a z at l a n , Mexico. I

studied architecture in Guadalajara. My initial training in painting was given to me by one of my aunts, who was also an artist. I finished my architectural studies and worked in the field for about ten years. I was always doing art on the side, until around 2001, when I took art full time.

I work in different mediums, although I have to say that oil painting has given me the best results for the work I have developed so far.

What inspires my works comes from working in contemporary landscapes for a long time, mostly generating pieces inspired by the transportation-driven urban life we experience in Southern California.

Freeways, on and off-ramp scenes, things you would see or remember seeing while on a moving vehicle.

I have shown my work in various galleries in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and other locations in California. In Europe I have shown in Spain and Germany. The work, however is being collected in various locations, in the US, in Mexico, Europe and Asia as well.

4 years ago the work departed on

a decidedly different direction,

mostly abstract.

The initial series “Infinity Within”, made references to my interest on quantum theory, spinning particles of energy that, in theory, compose our perceived universe, membranes... the new series “The Bends” takes some of that in addition to the emotive properties of the calligraphic gestures that I overtly show in the pieces. They are in a way snapshots of the moods and sensations that take place at work execution time.

I open my studio during the Downtown Artwalk every month.

There is always a big crowd coming through my space. People ask all kinds of interesting questions.

This work in particular has spiked a lot of interest. It’s cool to see how, when the pieces are on display, there will almost always be someone mimicking the arm gestures they see imprinted in the paintings. It’s as if they were re-constructing the actions I took at the time of creating them.

In January, my work will be in the LA Art Show, part of the Ping Pong Program. Ping Pong is a multi-destination, cross-cultural collaboration featuring artists from Los Angeles, Miami and Basel.

ShoW Celebrating 20 Years

Founded in 1994, the show has grown from a small regional event featuring 14 galleries to become the largest and longest running platform for fine art, bringing in more than 120 galleries representing 22 countries.

Looking back on the 20 year history of the LA Art Show, one can’t help noticing how it has evolved, changing locations and growing in diversity to reflect the trajectory of the burgeoning Los Angeles art scene.

In a major departure from art fairs of the time, the LA Art Show was the first and only event to strategically incorporate galleries representing diverse art genres, broadening its audiences to include enthusiasts modern, contemporary, historic and traditional works, as well as works on paper, sculpture and installations, in one art fair.

This show format was specifically selected to meet the needs of the LA market.

And, it has paid off with attendance and galleries increasing year over year.

The LA Art Show was founded in 1994, with Kim Martindale as general manger, to create a platform to showcase American Regionalism and Historic works.

Angeles destination for art and design events. Beginning in 2009, the LA Art Show was at the forefront of the revival of downtown Los Angeles.

It was the first major art event to take place at the Convention Center and, though its move was initially met with skepticism by the arts community, has ultimately become an anchor event that has bolstered other events in the downtown area such as downtown art walks, the resurgence of Chung King Road and the Downtown Arts District.

The show’s success has been a rallying cry for other arts events in the city with seve r a l

S

ince its creation in 1992, PHOTO LA has grown into a singularly ambitious exposition of photographic art, bringing together established and new exhibitors that showcase contemporary, modern, traditional, and vintage photography, with the mission to support and advance the discourse on photography’s place in the world of contemporary art.

The 2015 international photographic art exposition PHOTO LA will take place again, from Friday, January 16, through Sunday, January 18, at The REEF/LA Mart in Downtown Los Angeles.

Now in its 24th year, PHOTO LA brings together leading galleries, museums, universities, and nonprofit organizations for an unparalleled showcase of photographic art from around the world, from 19th Century masterpieces to contemporary, cutting-edge photography-based work. As in previous

years, photo la will include a diverse range of programming, including panel discussions, educational workshops, and curated installations that foster an ongoing dialogue about the changing landscape of photography and its role in the art world at large.

“Stephen Cohen founded PHOTO LA in 1992 to unite and support the international community of experts, enthusiasts, collectors, and artists who share a love of photography,” says Claudia James Bartlett, director of PHOTO LA. With the LA Art Show taking place simultaneously at the nearby Los Angeles Convention Center, PHOTO LA will provide free shuttle service between the two fairs, once again creating a destination arts weekend in the heart of LA. For out-oftown visitors.

2015 FITNESSCOPE Capricorn

(December 22-January 19):

Why not go vegan in 2015? Ok, ok, but how about LACTO/OVO? You’re stable, hard-working, practical, and never lose sight of your goals. Regardless of how many tender-delicious steaks may be in the way. If anyone could dedicate their eating habits for a kinder greener Earth, its you. Just remember no matter how hungry you are to remain cool, calm, and reserved like you do when creating art. You’ll rise to the top with more endurance and plenty of new collectors in 2015.

Gemini

(May 21-June 20): With so much energy, charisma and childlike fascination with the world, you make a great conversationalist dear Gemini. You can pick up any one-on-one sports activity to stay in shape in 2015, and you don’t need a team because you can always play against yourself (joke). Focus your conversations more toward money, as an end goal and you will definitely see a dramatic change in your income sector by the end of the year.

Cancer

(June 21-July 22): Your work is deeply emotional, smooth and confident and you’re ready to leave a real mark on the world. Like it or not...Its time to come out of your shell, and present your collectors with grace and confidence in 2015. Dancing will be the best form of exercise as you find your own space upon which to move inside of the crowd in your own time. Let go of the past.

Leo

Aquarius

(July 23-August 22): Confident, independent, and loyal, swimming will help you find your magnetic energies which are influential in holding you in a safe, secure supportive orbit. Use this feeling as inspiration, trying to portray the warm, caring, and giving waters in your works. It will help you find more ways to relax and give you a strong creative current making it easier to go with the flow.

(January 20-February 18): You’re an unconventional eccentric who marches to the beat of a different paintbrush but that’s what your collectors love about you. You think outside the box. Let’s do Yoga!...the ancient Hindu spiritual ritual of discipline, breath control, meditation, and bodily postures. It will add to the flexibility of your work, help with relaxation and help you discover the hidden realms of your minds creativity.

Pisces

(February 19-March 20): Patience is your virtue and it’s a good thing Pisces, because this year you’ll spend plenty of time waiting for your turn at the barber, beauty salon, nail parlor or health spa as you redefine your outer shell as part of your New Year’s Eve Resolution. Be perceptive, spiritual, and imaginative with your new looks and use your extra time grooming any new project ideas as you’ll want to come across as more confidentand well kept, looking and feeling great in 2015.

Aries

(March 21-April 19): Recognition, rewards, and greater power is what you’re into dear Aries. This year, the promoting energies of martial arts could become your main plan of attack for keeping fit and kickin’ butt! The more you master your, “brush on - brush off” techniques on canvas, the more you will see your assets, property, belongings and creative status enhanced by the end of the year.

Taurus

(April 20-May 20): Strong and dependable you love reaping the rewards of hard work. Running will be your best bet to keeping fit. As in your works, that you build from ambition, runner’s high will help you clear out any psychic “junk” and rid yourself of bad habits allowing you and your work to go on at a steady pace.

Virgo

(August 23 - September 22): This is a very playful period of the year for you Virgo. You will be inspired creatively and emotionally almost every day of the week. The spice of life is there for you and you’ll have to do nothing more than use it to season your popcorn as 2015 will give you plenty of time for play and relaxation. Be careful to pick only the projects that don’t take too much time away from being a couch potato. You had plenty of hectic moments and untimely sacrifices in 2014, but 2015 is a great cosmic time in the universe for giving you something back.

Scorpio

(October 23-November 21): Scorpios love to argue and almost always seem to win with their laser beam mental focus, and critical assessments. This year, your exaltation, true spirituality, and intellectualism will come to you, if you consider climbing for getting the best fitness results. In conjunction with heightened consciousness and conscience, you’ll be able to set your sites on new heights and be able to create works of art with a birds eye view.

Sagittarius

(November 22-December 21): Your free, easy-going, optimistic, inquisitive, and very straight forward, and born to explore. You consider every day an opportunity for adventure and love to travel. This free-spirit ed nature is what draws in your collectors, but creating for you is not always easy. Walking for a long distances, especially across country or in the woods will put you in your best shape prepare you for any uphill climbs in 2015.

Libra

(September 23- October 22): Biking will work with your needs to be balanced in both work and in your social life this year, dear Libra. You’ll streamline your efficiency both at home and in the office before spring and have time in the summer to retrace your roots and origins, all which will be evident in your works in 2015.
