Joshua
Elias: Just Visiting
Elias' abstract oil paintings are each filled with rich colors,
contemplative forms and a good story. This solo exhibition features his
new series of long, sweeping, horizontal paintings, including his first
five-piece work entitled, Rumors. This Los Angeles based artist has
been featured recently in Angeleno Magazine, Interior Design Magazine
and California Home and Design. The Viceroy Hotel in Santa Monica, CA
commissioned the artist to create the double-sided abstract painting
which is hanging in
their lobby.
Carl
Raymond Schmidt: Split Vision
This exhibition presents a
selection of the artists large “split-vision style” paintings which he
has
been painting since 1999. The viewer can see the development in this
unique style from the earliest to most recent works. The colors are
bright and the mood changes depending on the individual painting. There
is an urban undertone to Schmidt’s work, which can be attributed to the
artist’s current and former residencies,
Chicago
and Los Angeles, respectively. He has also been featured in,
“The Encyclopedia of Living Artists (8th edition, 12th
edition, Back Cover)”.
Jay Brockman:
Streetscapes
Jay
Brockman’s popular sunset streetscape paintings are
the
finale for Gallery Domingo’s triple-header series of solo painting
exhibitions. This
exhibition highlights new works in the artist’s signature style of
brightly contrasted sky and
stark
black streets peppered with lights, palm trees and billboards.
Brockman’s streetscape paintings were recently featured at the Los
Angeles County Museum of Art in the Rental and Sales Gallery’s Show 5.
Gallery Domingo is a “roaming” gallery
