SUMMARY:Intimate Spectacles: Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Intimate Spectacles is a two-person exhibition featuring paintings by Elham Bayati and Lester Monzon. Initially\, the artists’ creative approaches seem somewhat incongruous with one adhering to representational imagery and the other focused on fictional abstraction\, but before long a visual crossover emerges – Bayati’s figurative works start to dissolve into imaginary color fields and Monzon’s distinct structures begin to register as tangible analytical data. \nLester Monzon’s abstract paintings are a visual orchestration of several components – drawn grids\, brushstrokes\, and dot patterns. In these works\, the dots are a design element as well as a symbol of marketplace\, distribution\, and capitalism.  A keen attention to interplay and counterbalance is present as expressive brushstrokes obstruct and rebel against the dot patterns. His finely tuned visual systems – where graphite draftsmanship scaffolds the composition\, luscious brushwork glides across the surface\, and geometric color animates the atmosphere – are perpetually in flux. Each canvas has a compositional anomaly where a collision or regeneration is actively occurring. These state changes appear to be triggered by an energy overload or an unsustainable momentum\, reinforcing the notion that the beauty of these imaginary places is precious and temporary.  \nIn Elham Bayati’s paintings layers of drawing\, printmaking\, and collage present a dream-like space. These dense colorful works interweave patterns and overlapping imagery. Intricate compositions are playful and feel like mazes and puzzles inviting viewers to participate and explore. With a focus on cultural identity and portraiture\, female figures hover amid patterns\, flowers\, and textiles; her canvases become a catalyst to narrate and navigate the emotional experiences of Persian women past and present. Drawing inspiration from the floral patterns of her grandmother’s scarf and her mother’s dressmaking fabrics\, elegantly designed color fields become highly personal and radiate a sense of vulnerability and beauty. When viewers take a step back from these rich visual experiences a dynamic balance seems to be revealed – an aura energized by sadness and joy\, darkness and light\, uncertainty and hope. \n  \nGallery Hours:\nMonday – Thursday 11:00 am – 4:00 pm or by appointment\nAdmission is free

SUMMARY:Intimate Spectacles: Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Intimate Spectacles is a two-person exhibition featuring paintings by Elham Bayati and Lester Monzon. Initially\, the artists’ creative approaches seem somewhat incongruous with one adhering to representational imagery and the other focused on fictional abstraction\, but before long a visual crossover emerges – Bayati’s figurative works start to dissolve into imaginary color fields and Monzon’s distinct structures begin to register as tangible analytical data. \nLester Monzon’s abstract paintings are a visual orchestration of several components – drawn grids\, brushstrokes\, and dot patterns. In these works\, the dots are a design element as well as a symbol of marketplace\, distribution\, and capitalism.  A keen attention to interplay and counterbalance is present as expressive brushstrokes obstruct and rebel against the dot patterns. His finely tuned visual systems – where graphite draftsmanship scaffolds the composition\, luscious brushwork glides across the surface\, and geometric color animates the atmosphere – are perpetually in flux. Each canvas has a compositional anomaly where a collision or regeneration is actively occurring. These state changes appear to be triggered by an energy overload or an unsustainable momentum\, reinforcing the notion that the beauty of these imaginary places is precious and temporary.  \nIn Elham Bayati’s paintings layers of drawing\, printmaking\, and collage present a dream-like space. These dense colorful works interweave patterns and overlapping imagery. Intricate compositions are playful and feel like mazes and puzzles inviting viewers to participate and explore. With a focus on cultural identity and portraiture\, female figures hover amid patterns\, flowers\, and textiles; her canvases become a catalyst to narrate and navigate the emotional experiences of Persian women past and present. Drawing inspiration from the floral patterns of her grandmother’s scarf and her mother’s dressmaking fabrics\, elegantly designed color fields become highly personal and radiate a sense of vulnerability and beauty. When viewers take a step back from these rich visual experiences a dynamic balance seems to be revealed – an aura energized by sadness and joy\, darkness and light\, uncertainty and hope. \n  \nGallery Hours:\nMonday – Thursday 11:00 am – 4:00 pm or by appointment\nAdmission is free
