Yes, time for a new show, For Your Pleasure. Opening reception is this Sunday, 4 – 6 p.m. But, it’s already installed and ready for viewing starting today! Here’s some copy from the newsletter that we sent out:
CB1 Gallery proudly presents the work of ten gallery artists, all of whom will be showing in solo exhibitions at the gallery over the next two years, in a group exhibition entitled, For Your Pleasure. These ten artists work in media ranging from paintings and drawings to photography, from sculpture to installation. The exhibition opens on August 6, 2010 and closes on September 4, 2010. A reception for the artists will be held at the gallery on Sunday, August 8, 2010, 4 – 6 p.m.
The artists in For Your Pleasure include Los Angeles based artists Martin Durazo, Chris Oatey, HK Zamani and Tameka Norris, recently transplanted from LA to New Haven, CT. The gallery is also pleased to present work by several New York artists whose work has not been seen in LA galleries in recent years–Chuck Agro, Larry Mantello, Mira Schor, Susan Silas and Amy Yoes. Plus, Belgian painter Hilde Overbergh will be showing new paintings following her successful participation in “The Story of O” at Otis College of Art and Design this past spring.
There’s also a Flavorpill preview of For Your Pleasure by Shana Nys Dambrot.
Here is a small sampling of the artworks that are in the exhibition:
And, there’s more, a very big welcome to Lisa Adams who recently joined the CB1 family! Here are several of her paintings:
The idea of running an art gallery had been floating around for years, but CB didn’t give it much thought. Since moving to Historic Downtown Los Angeles (Old Bank District), a friend of ours who’s heavily involved in building and promoting Downtown got CB to start attending neighborhood meetings and getting involved in event planning. One thing lead to another, a vacant gallery space was available. Our friend asked CB to organize a pop-up show. The space turned out to be gorgeous. The landlord wanted to make a deal to move in a new gallery before Chinese New Year. It all happened so very fast, we signed the lease and we have a gallery!
