Bleicher/Golightly will present new works from Jessika Cardinahl in an upcoming show called Ascension.
Born and raised in Hamburg, Germany, Jessika established herself as a successful film actress and commercial model, though her education was in fine art and graphic design. Jessika creates large mixed media works on canvas and linen. The subject matter is typically landscapes and/or animals created with a vibrant array of colors.
“This artwork is about the journey of experiences, some fleeting, some lasting, some effusive, while other impressions may remain quite vague. It is this experiential journey I wish to unfold for my audience.” — Jessika Cardinahl
What: Ascension by Jessika Cardinahl
When: April 1, 2010 – April 15, 2010
Where: Bleicher/Golightly, 1431 Ocean Avenue, Santa Monica, CA 90401
Cassandra Tondro sent me her work, which is quite beautiful. She combines and applies paint onto canvas in unusual ways, mixing and concocting like a “mad scientist.” She uses repurposed acrylic latex paint, also known as house paint, that she saves from reject shelves before it is sent to landfills.
Lorraine Peltz will be exhibiting some of her new works beginning this week at Micaela Gallery. She is best known for her acrylic and oil paintings featuring ornate chandeliers on dark backgrounds that look like fireworks in the night sky.
From the release:
Peltz’s paintings are complex ruminations on the nature of private identity and public persona. Using imagery culled from both personal history and the contemporary moment the current paintings include the remembered image of a particular chandelier and through its simultaneous resolution and dissolution shift the focus to memory, which can be both melancholic and exuberant. Included also in the exhibition are paintings where she joins that image with patterned flowers, starbursts, and decorative flourishes to present the now – particularly in relationship to women and culture.

When: March 2, 1010 – May 1, 2010
Where: Micaela Gallery, 49 Geary St. San Francisco, CA 94108
Odili Donald Odita has created the most beautiful acrylic on canvas work. I’d love to see this over a modern fireplace, but then again? It would completely overshadow the fireplace itself, wouldn’t it?
Lovely.
Russell Shoemaker sent me over his work and I’ve been sucked into his world of angular forms and collage-like paintings.The last one is a digital print.
I stumbled on the abstract paintings of Linda Monfort while searching Etsy for something totally unrelated. I’m so glad that I did. This veteran award-winning California artist paints acrylic abstracts as well as figurative pieces and landscapes. Check her work out in her Etsy shop.
Flora Bowley emailed to let us know she’s got a few new paintings. This one above called “Temple Lilies” is my fave.
Oh, how I wish Jessica Snow would show us some of her new work! This piece, “Zoe’s Fourteen Hundredth Kick” is from 2008.
Cara Tomlinson’s soft, yet colorful abstract paintings have a playful vibe.
