PAST, CURRENT & FUTURE Exhibitions

2010-06-22T09:32:00.000-07:00

Hiroko Came back from Japan reporting that Gregg's first solo show in Tokyo was very successful. Although she took only three original paintings and mostly reproductions, half of what she took was sold. It was amazing considering it was a cafe gallery that operates only at night and the show duration was only two weeks.

Gregg and Edgar Hoill are currently exhibiting at OCCCA. That opening brought many people, as well. This show was an invitation from Leslie Davis (Gregg's sister) who is exhibiting "Regeneration" at the main gallery. The exhibition is still on. Go and take a look if you have time. It is one of the kinds.

Gregg and Edgar are also currently exhibiting at the PASADENA MUSEUM OF CALIFORNIA ARTISTS. The exhibition closes July 3rd.

With an invitation by Pat Sparkuhl, Gregg will be showing at Chapman University's
Guggenheim Gallery. The reception will be held on July 10th 5-8 pm.

Edgar Hoill's installation includes a beautifully etched prison stainless toilet,(must see in person) home made weapons and correspondences with inmates displayed behind a makeshift barbwire fence creating unique ambiance. Gregg will be there, again, for the 2nd Thursday 'Art Walk' night on the February 11th.

5th Annual Skull Show

2008-11-10T06:02:00.000-08:00

The 5th Annual "Top of The Dome" exhibition attracted so many clients as usual. The gallery is packed and usually about twenty to thirty people are congregating on the street, perhaps for smoking. What it began with around thirty artists in Alhambra has expanded to nearly one hundred and growing each year. Gregg's basic, white porcelain skulls emerge as 'Fish Head', 'Bonsai', 'Crow Head' exhibiting artists' imagination have no limit. Come and see interesting designs!

It is a fabulous book!!

Gregg and I attended to the book-signing-party held in L.A.for
THE ULYSSES GUIDE TO THE LOS ANGELES RIVER
Published by Christopher Brand, Evan Skrederstu, Steve Martinez
And J. Matthew Brand. Artists involved in this project participated
In creating a mural which will tour L.A., S.F., N.Y., & Japan.

Ulysses was born in 1937 in L.A.; the only child of Yuri Zemanova, a
Hungarian immigrant, and Yolonda Rodriguez, a Honduran-American
Woman. He was an exceptional student, self-taught in many disciplines.
H was a successful business man who traveled around the world.
When his industries was destroyed by fire, he escaped to Asia. He
Returned to L.A. in 2001 and became preoccupied with a nostalgia for
His youth. He began exploring the L.A. River--which had changed
Drastically since his childhood. This led to extensive note-taking and
Research, and planning to publish about his work. In late 2006, Ulysses
Was found dead mysteriously in Philippines.

AZTLAN SHOW

2007-10-14T12:03:00.000-07:00

This year's Aztlan Show at DA Gallery in Pomona was the most attended we've ever seen.
Participation of the international guest artists from Mexicali was an added plus, no doubt.Sorry to say, by the time Gregg and I got there they (Mexicali friends)were already gone. But Gregg was the bridge maker for this invitation between Frank Garcia and Mexicali artists.

I think the quality of the show is getting better each year.

Added attractions were the several new galleries on the Second Street.

Since 2002 Gregg has been exhibiting in Mexico many times mostly at ICBC (Institute de Cultura de Baja California) and IMAC (Institute Municipal Arte y Cultura). Through this connection we have made many friends. Gregg brought Roberto Rosique for one show in Cal Poly Pomona Art Center and Ramón Carrillo last year for trio show at OCCCA. Since it was a great success, Gregg put on another show "The Great Wall of Chinga" which I posted last month.

This time, we invited four Méxican friends from Mexicali for the opening of the Laguna Beach Festival of Arts. Eduardo is an art teacher and Israel works for the ICBC.

Currently Gregg is negotiating a "Day of the Dead" skull show in Méxicali Center for the Arts this fall including Chicano artists from California.

"Great Wall of Chinga" Show Smashing Success!!

2007-06-03T12:24:00.000-07:00

“There is a great article on LA Times about your show.” One of Gregg’s artist friends Mike Maas e-mailed us. I went to buy the paper and sure enough there was a powerful essay recognizing Gregg’s effort to bring two countries together through art rather than to divide by the wall.

‘The Great Wall of Chinga’ show was a smashing success! Nearly thousand people came to see, thanks to the LA TIMES and other magazine’s articles. An owner of ‘Juxtapose (prominent art magazine)’ came and took many photos. It was good to be exposed to an art connoisseur of his caliber.

Artists from Mexican side were absolutely flabbergasted to see so many people came to see the show and were very grateful to be invited. I saw many friendly exchanges between Mexico/US artists and I foresee that there will be more joint art exhibitions in the future. I am happy to say that Gregg constructed a friendly bridge between the two countries. However small it may seem, the friendship tree may bloom and multiply some day.

The Great Wall of Chinga

This exhibit hopes to compare the similarity or distinction of Mexican and Chicano Artistas sharing life experiences yet distinctly juxtaposed in variant political worlds. With certain common bicultural traits as most border towns reflect this social phenomenon. This border phenomenon has existed historically in many cultures and early civilizations.

The border is a ‘Wall of Chinga (a colloquial term of abuse)’ because it has been the cause of much civic consternation. Some of the artificial and superficial elements of this interaction have made some unfortunate and deleterious misunderstandings. Artists by their assessments in their ‘obras’ help give visual articulations to some of those notions and proffered resolutions.

The turmoil and discord is met with diverse responses from the artists herein the gallery. Comparing these social realities make for the artistic responses which are displayed in this exhibition.

There are thirty artists from both countries.

EL PASO MUSEUM OF ART

2007-04-26T08:22:00.000-07:00

To be asked to show at notable museum is artist’s dream. Only few would make it.

Gregg’s art has been exhibited at Albuquerque Museum, San Diego Living Art Museum

and The Marjorie Barric Museum in Nevada. But that was just one of many art works

that were accepted in competition.

But this time is a special invitation by a curator of El Paso Museum of Art.

The curator picked three of his works and asked to be exhibited for three months among

notable Chicano and Mexican artists. This means his painting will be in a museum catalogue.

When I began supporting Gregg 9 years ago I made a ‘10 year plan’ and the goal were to show

at notable museum in ten years. Here today, at 9^th year, we reached to the first goal.
