Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water/ Imaginations: Opening Reception Saturday, March 1 from 5 - 8 pm

 TAG Artists proudly presents Earth, Wind, Fire and Water – a contemplation of nature’s elements, explored in all mediums.

 The California Art League’s exhibition Imaginations is curated by Shana Nys Dambrot – Los Angeles based curator, art critic, and author, and features all media interpreting Imaginations as a “collective of ideas, mood, inclination.” Cash prizes will be awarded and presented to designated artists. Shana Nys Dambrot is co-founder of 13ThingsLA, and a contributor to the Village Voice, Flaunt, Artillery, WhiteHot, and Alta Journal. She is the recipient of the Rabkin Prize for Art Criticism, the Mozaik Art Writers Prize, and the LA Press Club National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Critic of the Year award.

 “Imaginations are a collective of ideas, mood, inclination. Interpretation is at the core of imagination. It's a light where there was none, a universe within a microcosm, or a portrait of someone/somewhere that exists or not. Through the language of value, texture, color, contrast, composition, representational content and/or abstraction, our artists showed us what they imagined.” - California Art League President, Nora Koerber.

TAG Gallery is holding an art auction to raise funds for Red Cross support for victims of the L.A. Fires and TAG. This auction will end during a special TAG gallery reception on the main floor of the North Gallery.

Robert Zent Chew is best known for his abstracted landscapes and florals. Mixed Impressions, Chew’s latest exhibition at TAG remains true to this stylistic disposition with themes ranging from the American West to Tropical to the French countryside.

Sunhee Joo’s Love of Nature exhibition visually presents the mild & gentle themes of nature. The collection combines traditional painting methods with manipulation tools like Photoshop.

Sign Language, Karen Fiorito’s solo exhibition explores political environment through intricate replicas of public billboards, displayed alongside photographs of the actual billboards. The collection highlights Fiorito’s 20-year career as an artist and political activist. “Art and Activism are the two most important things in my life. Activism, including social, political, and environmental causes, permeates everything I do, from my roles as artist and curator, to every action in my daily life,” states Fiorito. “Sign Language is a celebration of Artivism (Art + Activism), which creates ideas and engages the public in conversations and actions towards the greater good,” the artist explains.

Ernie Marjoram’s My Italia exhibition is inspired by his travels through Italy. The collection presents the classic processes of renaissance painters through utilizing available, modern materials. “The beauty of Italy has been an inspiration to artists for centuries.  During a year of study in Florence, I too was captivated by the culture, the language, the food and a young Italian girl, Silvia, my wife of 45 years now. During our many visits from Los Angeles to Italy, I started painting, wanting to capture the magic of Italy to share with family and friends. I have worked, often on site, exploring different techniques but every painting has the same core purpose: my desire to seize special moments in special places to share with others. I welcome you to My Italia.”
