mural & mixed media, 2010
The front of the 18th Street Arts
Center, where
Los Angeles, Calif.-based artist Yvette Gellis is in residence, will be wrapped
with imagery created from the combined works of two masters of artistic
space. Korean artist Han Sungpilcollaborated
with Gellis to create a dynamic mural, Open Water, which will cover the facade
of 18th Street Arts Center. Individually, the two artist have produced major
installations in a number of public spaces. Han is known for his massive
wrappings of buildings in diverse cites worldwide; and Gellis, a painter known
for her huge canvasses, recently expanded her work into installations of 3D
abstract paintings. The exhibit is now open, with a reception scheduled next
Thursday, Jan. 20, beginning at 7:30 p.m.
