Reneé
A. Fox - Paintings - LA - RAFKHO
Studios
If
one looks closely, the most ordinary thing becomes
extraordinary, offering "seeds" for
new thoughts and experiences. My paintings are
a result of looking closely at plants and using
what I see in an abstract language, biomorphic
abstraction. I collect specimens of all types
and paint abstractions of them, while using
clear, representational imagery at the same
time. The work is influenced by ideas the subjects
trigger in my memory; as icons of beauty, order,
sex, religion. As symbols, most people will
understand that a red rose means passion, love.
Public reading of my work is heavily influenced
by symbolic meaning. They may also be seen as
innuendo or metaphor. Qualities of the subject
contribute to building the work (formal aspects
of the paintings) as well as their titles which
are given appropriately upon completion of the
work..

Holly
Williams - Paintings - LA
This series of paintings depict a new exploration
of the Los Angeles landscape filtered through
the photographic and rendered with traditional
oil painting techniques.
Here the photographic works in the service of
painting, rather than in opposition; the photographic
blur flattens and aestheticizes the image, stripping
it of detail and leaving only traces of light
and fields of color. This loss of information
makes the image more conducive to an open painting
process, the image becoming a compositional
framework which can be morphed and altered.

Trang
Chau - Drawings and Sculpture - LA
The
impaling of the skin, the mutation of the body,
and the oozing of the wet and the slime, are
visceral elements that Trang is attracted to
and investigates in her work. Using the different
media of sculpture, painting, photography, fashion,
video, and performance, she investigates the
feminine body under rupture, power, and anxiety.
Her work blurs the line between Fashion and
Fine Arts by combining a hybrid that uses the
body as a prosthetic means to bringing forth
in the viewer the dichotomies of fear and curiosity,
repulsion and attraction, and sex and death.
Trang’s sculptures, paintings, and performances/fashion
shows have been exhibited primarily in Los Angeles.
She has also contributed her work to film through
production design and writing.

Susan Joseph - small
works on paper- LA
Susan Joseph is a Los Angeles based artist who
has exhibited her evocative installation works,
whimsical kinetic sculpture and works on paper
extensively over the past twenty years. Her
work's consistent theme is an investigation
into the issues of feminism and class, most
recently in the video installations: "Fetish:
pseudological studies in objectivity,"
and "Chronicle Elsewhere" which explore
the metaphors of domestic and public space in
contemporary media-saturated life.

Moira Hahn - Painting/mixedmedia -
LA - http://www.moirahahn.com/
The paintings echo a search for meaning in
my life and help me understand and convey (in
visual language) what I may not be able to articulate
otherwise.
Eastern art influenced me a great deal, from
early childhood. Social and political commentary
can sometimes be found in the work, but only
to the extent that it has become internalized
and autobiographical.
Her paintings are included in several museum
and corporate collections, including the Smithsonian
Institution, the Oakland Museum, the National
Portrait Gallery, the De Young Museum, the Achenbach
Foundation, and UCLA Medical Center.
