March 13th Pomona Art Walk

I attended the March 13th Art Walk in Pomona and I can honestly say another great time! It was more packed than my last visit there and it seemed like there was additional galleries that were open this time around. My first spot this time was the dA gallery which is always the hottest place to be. They were featuring Looking at Blue or...No 5 Rick Caughman.






After visiting the dA we went down to the SCA Project Gallery and saw some contemporary ceramic sculptures by Nina Jun. Her pieces are definitely out of norm to say the least. Its amazing how she creates these sculptures to look like mylar balloons however they are rock hard to the touch (Yes, I had to touch one...ha). She uses these pillow-scapes to bring to life various depictions of landscape, houses, people, oceans, and many other recreations of life.

After we headed next door to the Latino Art Musuem where they were hosting the "Hollywood Connection". Here we found these amazing self portrait drawings by Robert Perez, in which below is my favorite in which he has depicted, Penelope Cruz. These are amost exact replicas of the actors and actresses as if you are looking at an actual photograph.

Also, I was amazed when walking down the stairs where Shahla Rosa's work was featured. These paintings are captivating and have so much detail put into them. I didn't know where to look first when admiring the work, because every inch of the painting has something hidden in it.

Not to mention Julia Fernandez's work!!! Amazing use of color which is rich and warm in her paintings. You can't help but stop and admire her work.

All in all a wonderful experience!! I had a great time taking in some art, music and dining...perfect for a Saturday night. I was more comfortable this time around going in and talking with other fellow admirers and playing the "I see, you see" game. I feel that I had a better appreciation for the work and was able to depict finer details in the pieces.

I chose the positions by the relevance of color and also the type of art. As you can see I prefer Abstract art and the use of bright color. The opening piece starts off with a 3 panel display of cherry blossoms for the entry way which provides an immediate relaxing enviroment to the home. Following down the hallway are acrylic paintings in which texture is brought forth from the artist. The bright blue adds the relaxed feeling to flow throughout the home as the bright rainbow colors on a 3 panel canvas emerge a happy tone. Coming into the living area you are surrounded with the mixture of floral abstract art as well deep rich warm color, allowing you to feel safe, at home, and immersed in love.
