Our current exhibition, “Mira Schor: Paintings From The Nineties To Now“, got a review by Los Angeles Time’s Christopher Knight:

“…the schematic, profile style also harkens back to the hieroglyphic figures of ancient Egypt, who speak a mysterious language that continues to fascinate. A better analogy than that for the place of painting in today’s hyper-digital universe is difficult to imagine.”

–Christopher Knight

The complete review can be found in LA Times’ Culture Monster section.

I also want to share one of my favorite paintings recently brought in by Lisa Adams. To me it has Zen-like quality, and yet upon a closer look you find a practical joke about to be played out. Beautifully painted and quirky!

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:
