Press Release from Glass Garage Fine Art Gallery:
Acclaimed Surrealist painter Steven Kenny makes his West Coast debut with his solo exhibition “Cryptohematology: Secrets In My Bloodline” at the Glass Garage Fine Art Gallery in West Hollywood, California on Saturday, January 24, 2009.
Kenny is known for creating lush, mannered paintings that resemble society portraiture from the Victorian era, but injected throughout with Surrealist elements, particularly in his blending of human figures, birds, and plants.
“The world I depict is one where interdependencies prosper and hierarchies crumble,” states Kenny.
Since completing his formal training at the Rhode Island School of Design in 1984, Kenny has exhibited in several dozen gallery and museum shows throughout the United States and Europe.
The exhibition “Cryptohematology: Secrets In My Bloodline” is a retrospective of work by Kenny from 2000 through 2008. The retrospective echoes a gallery of ancestor portraiture or family trees, as a metaphor for the resemblances, relationships, and interdependencies among living things that Kenny’s work explores. The exhibition contains mature content and minors will be required to be accompanied by an adult.
The Kenny exhibition will coincide with the West Hollywood Winter ArtWalk, held in cooperation with the FADA Los Angeles Art Show and the City of Los Angeles’ “L.A. Arts Month." Visit Glass Garage Gallery and Art On The Avenue websites for more details regarding the exhibition and the ArtWalk.

Joe MacGown will be participating in a two-man exhibition with Cetin Oguz at the Meridian Museum of Art in Meridian, Mississippi (USA). Exhibition dates are January 3-31, 2008, with an opening reception on January 3rd from 6-8 PM. MacGown lives in Starkville, Mississippi where he works as a scientific illustrator and research technician at the Mississippi Entomological Museum at Mississippi State University. MacGown's works are highly detailed, surrealistic pen and ink drawings, which the artist describes as "subconscious meanderings." Cetin Oguz, originally from Turkey, is an art professor at Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi. His large-scale paintings correlate religious and cultural discourse through the use of color, texture, and unique angles.
Amanda Sage attends and reviews Temple of Visions – International Visionary Art & Print Exhibition – Opening at the Hive Gallery in Los Angeles.
The first time I entered the HIVE at 2am the night before the opening after flying in from Denver; I got shivers felt the buzz and was blown away from the diversity and quality of work. The 'Temple' is situated in the middle of the Gallery adorned with flames and reverence, a painting installation by SHRINE. It is a powerful space to say the least, it definitely asks for respect once you enter, the images beckoning on into a woven tale of visionary realms. I must say that it was a bit of a disappointment to see some of these great images just in Giclee print form… they just don't hold up next to the glowing originals. I can't wait to see the best in this genre of amazing paintings (as originals) in a museum. Someday it will happen.
Over 600 is the estimate of colorful people that showed for the opening. Besides the masses, meeting the artists from the Temple of Visions show that came from far and wide for the opening was my own personal highlight. Such beautiful amazing people, like meeting old family members, and knowing that this is just the beginning. Some of the visiting artists were: Michael Brown, David Heskin, Aloria Weaver, Adam Scott Miller, as well as meeting some of the local artists such as Jimmy Bleyer, Radhika Hersey, Sensei, Orion, Lindsay Swan.
I've never been to an Art Opening where there was a line out the door of people waiting to pay $8 to get in. It wasn't one of those parties with Art on the walls where the lights get turned off after a couple hours and you can't see the art any more. Tonight, the 8th of Jan. there is the monthly Artwalk, and up to 5000 people are expected out to tour the downtown L.A Galleries.
This show is yet only a beginning, as is the plan of Jimmy Bleyer – initiator and curator of the Temple… I've heard whispers of some of the future plans, there are 6 more shows ahead, but I can't spill the beans on anything else, as much as I'd like to. I have a funny feeling that this is the beginning of something ready to hatch, the time is coming, the world is waiting, and L.A seems to be a pretty big hotspot ready for some Visionary Glow.
The Temple of Visions features:
Robert Venosa, Martina Hoffmann, Alex Grey, Allyson Grey, Laurence Caruana, Amanda Sage, Mark Henson, Andrew Gonzalez, James Zar, Michael Brown, Dan Cohen, Micha Colory Krebs, David Heskin, Aloria Weaver, Leo Plaw, Voytek Nowakowski, Kuba Fiedorowicz, Orion, Adam Scott Miller, Delphia, Jamie Burton, Adam S.
