Great Art Show at The James Gray Gallery at Bergamot Station

On Friday the 20th i went to an art opening at the James Gray Gallery with my friend and fellow designer David Mellen to see the work of fellow artist and friend Thom Surman. Thom had a very good showing of approx. 30 works best described as atmospheric sky’s in abstract style. They are very calming to look at and you can find yourself getting lost in them. He had a great turn out and think he sold a few pieces in the $750 to $4,000 dollar range. The James Gray Gallery has an outstanding and diverse opening currently going on I encourage you to visit his site for more information on the other artist now showing. Bergamot Station is an eclectic mix of galleries that represent some of the top artist is California and from across the country and even the EU. Bergamot is a great place to take a date and enjoy some activity that is free and atypical of the usual romps one would normally consider… you might even impress your date into thinking you’re quite the cosmopolitan. Did I mention it is free… and many of the galleries serve drinks and snacks and some even a bit of Vodka and Cranberry for those of you who feel they need a little social lubrication. Here are I have posted a few recent sketches and studies for upcoming paintings. The Ron Pearlman piece, from Sons Of Anarchy, is an example of exploring a new look for a body of work I look forward to producing.
