Featuring work from various artists

Tim Weldon, Mixed Media Paintings
Weldon practices what might be called "a carnival of folkloric figuration." As an artist with raw vision, Weldon’s vibrant, expressionistic and thought provoking works have gained him respect among artists, collectors, critics and the viewing public. He transcends the viewer into his imaginative world of passion-through flights of fancy and trials and tribulations. Throughout this journey of human emotion, Weldon’s energy and focus is directed by serendipitous exploration, uncovering dreamlike imagery and spirited movement.

Mark Mothersbaugh, Illustrations
During his downtime on early worldwide tours with DEVO, Mark Mothersbaugh began illustrating on postcards to send to his friends and family, which he still creates, and has been creating every day for over 30 years. Mark explains "I’ve probably got around 30,000 of them filed away now….and I keep making more every day. The limited edition prints are my way of sharing these personal images with other people around the world.”

Joex2, urban artist
Previously limited to the underground subculture of municipal art, this past year he emerged with rapid fire in solo and group shows spanning from New York City to San Francisco. Learning the craft of fine art from his father, a painter and Trinidad native, Joe Joe’s talent is vastly displayed in his old school styles depicting everything from island flavor to cultural materialism.

Mitchell Glotzer, Photography
Although I enjoy all aspects of photography, I am passionate about both the experience and photographic results achieved through long exposure low light-night photography. The ability of the camera to accumulate light results in images which the human eye cannot duplicate.














Sofia Harrison, Glass Mosaic Assemblages
Harrison's work embodies the collective thought patterns of our society: fractured but connected, expressing the combat of individuality, encompassing desire, spirit and reason. Media: paper, words, glass, paint, discarded and found objects, glue and grout.

Blood For Art

"Blood For Art" featuring Bay Area artists from Quorum SF. In an upcoming exhibition, Quorum SF will present a simple proposition to the public: a pint of blood for an original print by one of thirteen artists. By asking people to contribute a small, but explicit quantity of themselves, and offering donors a gift in return, the artists are more than acting out a mechanical barter. It is an act of utopic economy, exchanging valuables that are not equal, but are equally personal.

LIMN Gallery
169 N. La Brea Ave | Los Angeles, CA 90036

The artists reception is scheduled for Friday, August 8 (7pm-9:30pm) and the blood drive will be held on the following Sunday, August 10 (10am-4pm).

SF based Artists Susannah Bettag - and Andy Hope works will be in this show.

Succulents And Paradise

Huntington Gardens and Museum Hosts and expansive botanical gardens and succulent collection. Avid horticulturist and friend Dan Lynch(of SRI Fame- early Internet Guru/Pioneer) was recently in LA for some UCLA Math and Science board functions -but made time for a jaunt to one of his favorite LA haunts, the Botanical Gardens and Huntington Museum.

Lynch donated his once "largest collection in North America" of succulents to the museum years ago when he went off to college to become study math. Pictured here




The museum has a lovely photography exhibit now through September.

This Side of Paradise: Body and Landscape in L.A. Photographs

"This Side of Paradise: Body and Landscape in L.A. Photographs examines the dynamic relationship between the city and the art of photography from the 1860s to the present. Divided into seven thematic sections - Garden, Move, Work, Play, Dwell, Clash, and Dream - the exhibition explores photographs of the city through the dual lenses of landscape and the human body, as well as the provocative visual interplay between the two."
