Downtown…

L.A. Artcore presents a three person exhibit called “Perception” that combines painting with sculpture and installation, to create a variety of textures for visitors to appreciate. They all have in common practices that are imaginative and substantial.

Karen Hansen creates atmospheric abstract paintings that verge on the boundary between landscape and color field. Steve Hilton is a ceramics professor and works with both earthen materials and earthy color-scapes. Suguru Hiraide is a masterful sculptor with metal, creating engineered and sophisticated works that move, shudder, light up and interact.

There will be an art talk at 2 pm.

On View: June 26th – July 19th

Then later in the afternoon, taking place in LA Artcore’s Union Center location, enjoy a special exhibit of Yoella Razili and Scott Gordon, both of whom will exhibit their individual and collaborative works.

The beginnings of Razili and Gordon’s collaborations trace back to Sylmar, a town just Northeast of Northridge, California in 1994, when they were brought together for a group show called “Intimate Images,” by Julie Sim Edwards at Century Gallery. When Gordon relocated to Texas they began a series of collaborative drawings and collages on paper that eventually extended to mixed-media. The complimentary forces of the hard-edged and sculptural constructions of Razili’s art—both a paean to her native Israel’s natural and manmade features as well as a vehicle of material exploration—and the spontaneous collaged approach of Gordon have sustained over two decades of works that capture the unique character in each artist’s approach.

There will be an art talk at 4 pm.

On view: July 2nd – July 30th
