Lillian Abel, “Over The Edge”, 8x10in, Oil on Panel
Lillian Abel is a Los Angeles artist, who paints in waves of color, resulting in compositions which inhabit a space not quite landscape nor abstracted color field, but somewhere in-between.
These compositions suggest forms that are present and forms that are absent. Layers that hide and reveal. Out of disorder comes order, out of darkness comes light, out of time to present, from ignorance to enlightenment.

“My stories are narratives about narratives. Through my processes and subject matter I am more concerned with the unknown rather than the creation of a set story or plot.”

Cindy Rinne, “Flowers Near The Shore”, Fabric/Fiber Painting, 18x21in
Cindy Rinne is a Los Angeles based contemporary artist working with fiber & fabric.
Her works are colorful and tactile, employing collage, poetry, and a touch of whimsy.
Each fiber work is its own journey. Rinne uses found fabrics, vintage buttons and laces so each art work represents community. There are layers revealing destruction, change and beginnings. Thread is drawn free-form like paint on canvas.

Jodi Bonassi, “Time Cuts”, Oil on Canvas, 24x24in, 2011
Jodi Bonassi is a Log Angeles artist who makes surreal paintings based on real life social spaces.
I record moments with my sketch pad. Coffee houses and Barber Shops. People slip into the chairs as if they are letting go of all this stress. It’s hard to text or be on the phone in a barber chair. Someone nurtures them for a few minutes before throwing them back into the world of global ants. I see patrons talking to the barber who’s this temporary therapist. I wonder what the barber is really thinking. Everyone’s talking all the time, even if we can’t hear them.
