Overgrowth @ GR2

Attention all fans of art in greater Los Angeles area: Overgrowth at GR2 runs from February 16th to March 12th, and it’s sure to be a doozy. The exhibit features both the solo and collaborative works of Katherine Guillen, Zachary Rossman, and Brian Rush. The three artists worked in concert on twenty mixed media compositions, each 4'' by 6'' in size, allowing each other's work to be engulfed by that of their collaborators in efforts to create stunning works that are truly a coming together of artistic minds. Their solo stuff ain't so bad either as Guillen's uses gouache paintings and prints to “explore the explore the tenuous relationship between urban and natural environments” while Rossman's collection of gouache and graphite drawings delves into the themes of “decay, isolation, and supernatural occurrences.” The pieces Rush has up his sleeve are a collection of “paintings, medium-sized mixed-media pieces, and sculptures” depicting “whimsy as a divider between "˜facts' and creativity.” So get there while the gettin's hot"¦or for the opening reception on February 16th.
