Foliage Opening at Flower Pepper Gallery Sept 5

Flower Pepper Gallery presents "Foliage", a playful exhibition inspired by nature, opening September 5th at Flower Pepper Gallery in Pasadena. Often exhibitions focus on human or character subjects, so this eclectic collection of artists & artworks is a breath of fresh air. Mmm, pine-scented! ;)

Acey Thompson, Chelsea Gustafsson, Collin van der Sluijs, Denae Wilkowski, Edith Waddell, Heather Gross, Helen Bayly, Jacob van Loon, Jaclyn Alderete, Jon Lau, Kelly Louise Judd, Lauren Marx, Marissa Quinn, Paige Jiyoung Moon, Simon Kangiser, Susanne Apgar, Valerie Pobjoy, Vanessa Foley, William Joseph Dunn, Yejin Oh

Prickly Pear - Acey Toothypegs

Foliage opens Saturday, September 5th, 2015 from 6:30pm - 9:30pm, and will be on view from September 5th, 2015 – October 6th, 2015

.

Non-Character based artwork composition achieves its storytelling, evokes emotion, or provokes thought without the use of a subject's facial expression, or overt body language to communicate with. I can tell from the images shared already, that this showing brings together diverse perspectives.

Season of Spring exhibition by Daniel Rolnik at the Flower Pepper Gallery

The Season of Spring - Flower Pepper Gallery

Daniel Rolnik, The Worlds Most Adorable Art Critic, was on Toy Break Episode 299, showing off some items he is showing at a current exhibit at the Flower Pepper Gallery in Old Pasedena. Daniel Rolnik is an art lover who blogs for many different sites, just so he can reach the appropriate crowd for every type of art genre. The Seasons of Sprint exhibit, curated by Daniel, centers around a neat idea in which Daniel sends all participating artists, an artist pack. Each cardboard envelope contained 2 pieces of quality paper and instructions for the artist to provide original pieces. One piece would be shown in a clear poly bag and header card, while the second piece(hidden behind the first) would be a surprise for the person who purchases the piece. A really great idea and pretty open ended. Some artists decided to forgo the provided paper and instead, create some really cool sculptures. All the pieces in the exhibit range in price from $20 to $200, which is pretty affordable for Original pieces of art.

Andrew Hadle, an illustrator and sculptor, provided 2 amazing sculptures, titled Dog and Duck.

An art collective, Salao Coboi, also provided sculptures for the exhibit, both of which can be seen in Toy Break 299. These pieces are pretty amazing and thought provoking to say the least. Salao Coboi started out as mutant art collective, but has since become a solo endeavor for Apolinário Pereira, co-founder of Salao Coboi.
