WWA gallery Presents

The Artist Sisters: Miss Mindy & CJ Metzger
Pie in the Sky

Plus New Works by Kate McCavitt in the Project Space

Opening Reception: Friday, September 10th, 2010 from 7- 10pm
On View: September 10th – October 9th, 2010

Watch the mayhem unfold this September as WWA gallery presents The Artist Sisters: Miss Mindy and CJ Metzger’s first exhibition together in almost 3 years. Open to the public, Pie in the Sky’s gallery reception is from 7- 10pm on Friday, September 10th and runs through October 9th.

Pie in the Sky is a state of mind. Tired by the seriousness of life, The Artist Sisters want to transcend expectations and explore spontaneous feelings of all emotions ranging from silly to sullen. Their paintings and assemblages will be constructed of wood, and will adorn everything from old pie tins to vintage objects, creating a menagerie of visual delights. Also, “A Pie for a Pie”, a silent black and white Pie-Fight film will feature not only the artists, but some familiar special guests ‘getting it in the kisser.’

Miss Mindy’s new work borders on a mix of cartoon folk and ink drawings, to her love of bizarre humor and Mae West influenced femininity. CJ Metzger’s paintings gently pull at your heartstrings and tug at your empathy glands. They are modern fairy tales told in a big unruly and wondrous world.

Joining The Artist Sisters in the Project Space will be new works entitled Shiny Pretty Things by Southern California artist Kate McCavitt.  Her stunning abstract Asian paintings render ancient charm with bold contrasting colors.

Located in the Culver City Art District, WWA gallery‘s goal is to present contemporary artists who have a figurative and illustrative style. WWA gallery presents a wide range of established and emerging artists such as Bob Dob, Ben Kehoe, KRK Ryden, Miss Mindy, CJ Metzger, Rob Corless, Jim Darling, Tina Darling, Dan Barry, Edward Robin Coronel, Jeni Yang, Tracy Tomko, Dee Chavez, Lily Mae Martin, and Julian Callos.

WWA Presents: Whimsical Delights

News submitted by WWA Gallery Comments

Blue Dress by Luke Feldman

Wonderful World Art Gallery is proud to present “Whimsical Delights”, a colorful and highly imaginative solo exhibition featuring new works by San Francisco based Australian artist Luke Feldman. Feldman will transform the gallery into a surrealist’s dream, with each display celebrating the beautiful and the bizarre in his magical world, commonly known as SKAFFS.

9517 Culver Boulevard
Culver City, CA 90232
310.836.4992

Opening Reception Wednesday, June 10, 2009
Gallery Reception from 7pm to 10pm
On View June 10 until July 11, 2009

In this latest collection, Feldman breathes new life into his SKAFFS. Feldman’s style is one based on symmetry, flow and vibrant colors. Each work features luminous, yet subtle paintings on panel, and defined lines with elaborate detail designed though black pen ink on paper. The result is an alternate, often mystical universe created in Feldman’s mind and brought vividly to life through his art.

In addition to Feldman’s paintings and illustrations, the artist will be signing copies of his limited edition book Chaff n’ Skaffs: Mai and the Lost Moskivvy. Illustrated and co-written by Feldman himself, the book follows a young girl named Mai on her courageous journey into a colorful, fantastic world, in hopes of reuniting a lost mosquito with his family. On display are the original drawings used in the making of the book, sure to be enjoyed by both fans and art lovers alike.

At the opening, viewers will also delight in watching Feldman create a special work of art right before their very eyes. An experience not to be missed, Feldman’s process is creative and organic, and rarely does he have an image planned out in advance. Whimsical, indeed!

Luke Feldman: Whimsical Artist. Illustrator. Animator. Toy Designer. The San Francisco Cartoon Art Museum describes his art as “blending the classic stylings of 1950’s Disney with a modern design sensibility to create something both cutting edge and timeless.”, and Beautiful Decay magazine describes his illustrations as “infectious”. In addition to being a world renowned artist, Feldman had the honors of being a finalist in the 2007 Comic-Con International Independent Film Festival for his short animation “Who Saved the Moon”, as well as a finalist award at the 2008 Little Big Shots Film Festival.
