Three Artists Drawn to Earth Elements In Simultaneous Solo Exhibits at Blackboard Gallery Free Reception Saturday, November 2

 

Ocean tides, heat waves passing through crystalline minerals, and earthen clay have inspired the artists in three solo exhibitions at the new Blackboard Gallery of Studio Channel Islands Art Center in Camarillo. ”Between the Tides” by encaustic artist Susan Lasch Krevitt, “When the Earth Speaks” by digital artist Marcos Armitaje and “Breathing From the Soul” by ceramic hand builder Shelly Ann Moore run through November 30.

 

The free artists’ reception is on Saturday, November 2 from 4:00-6:00 p.m. Referencing the sediment that waves carry ashore, Susan Lasch Krevitt’s encaustic paintings are tactile, relief-based abstractions in which textiles are embedded, either hidden or exposed.

 

Lasch Krevitt sees them as a metaphor for the accumulation of experience in our lives. She most often uses textiles, mixed media and encaustic in her pieces. A graduate of The School of The Art Institute of Chicago, Lasch Krevitt’s work has been shown nationally and abroad. The Thousand Oaks resident also teaches locally and was a presenter this year for the 7th International Encaustic Conference in Provincetown, where she won the Juror’s Award.

 

Shelly Ann Moore’s exhibit includes ceramic figures she builds in an unusual way—she starts the clay busts at the shoulders but stops before finishing the head. Moore feels the incomplete figures represent the freedom to let the mind breath, allowing the human spirit to find and express its purpose. Moore discovered her love for clay in classes at Moorpark College, and later received her BFA from California Lutheran University; she is presently in a masters program at the Academy of Art & Design in San Francisco.

 

Moore's work has appeared in the American Museum of Ceramic Art/Studio Gallery in Pomona, and locally at the Artist Union Gallery, Studio Channel Islands Art Center, Moorpark Art Festival, and Moorpark Community College.

 

Marcos Armitaje’s exhibit shows viewers something they can’t see with the naked eye. A scientific imaging specialist, Armitaje has developed a technique for capturing digital images of heat passing through the earth’s minerals, revealing what he describes as “crystalwaves.” He then prints the images in luminous colors on metal as well as on canvas.

 

The Thousand Oaks resident holds graduate degrees in biological imaging as well as science education. Armitaje’s work has been exhibited in the Museum of Computer Art in New York, in exhibitions throughout California, most recently in Bergamot Station in Santa Monica, as well as in Sedona, Arizona and Santa Fe, New Mexico.

 

The Blackboard Gallery at Studio Channel Islands Art Center is at 2222 Ventura Boulevard in Old Town Camarillo, open Tuesday 11:00 - 3:00, Wednesday through Friday 11:00 - 5:00 and Saturday 10:00 - 3:00 p.m.


As many as 40 resident artist studios behind the gallery are open to the public every First Saturday of the month from 10 - 4 p.m. For more information call 805-383-1368.
