Cerasoli Gallery - Great Opening this weekend // Trina Calderon
I
think this is a show not to miss...I have seen Franziska Klotz's
paintings before and they are amazing. She uses black and pastel
colors to evoke a very dark fantastical feeling. Her compositions are

C E R A S O L I gallery presents the fine art work of three painters invoking various photographic genres in their work: John Grande in Gallery One, Franziska Klotz in Gallery Two, and Nick Potter in Gallery Three at the Cerasoli Gallery (8530-B Washington Blvd in Culver City). Opens April 18, 2009, and remains on view through May 13, 2009.
Opening reception is Saturday, April 18, from 6pm - 8pm.
JOHN GRANDE 'Glamour and Gloom' in Gallery One
John Grande's oil on canvas portraits often resemble archival budoir photographs cleverly interwoven with archetypal gender narratives. Grande's approach to painting is influenced by high fashion photographers such as Annie Liebowitz, with whom the artist worked as a printmaker for years....
FRANZISKA - KLOTZ 'Nowhere Right Here' in Gallery Two
Klotz's layering technique allows viewers to make connections organically, rather than immediately: the representational quality of the paintings are embedded deep within the works. Delicious pastel hues are engulfed in shadow, cloaked in encroaching darkness and discord, conflating references to Monet and De Kooning.....
NICK POTTER 'Society of Spectacle' in Gallery Three
Visually seductive, photo-real depictions of familiar Modernist settings and subjects constitute Potter's compelling and, at times, unnerving imagery. Utilizing a gorgeous, sliding scale of grays in his black and white works, Potter employ elements of simplification and abstraction to build tension and to sow the underlying sense of anxiety and foreboding of our post-Cold War society...
