Opening Reception May 11th
w/special performance by Gamelan X
On view until June 3rd
We cordially invite you to view new paintings by Steven Lopez and wood block sculptures by William Dodd. "An Ancient Future" features a dramatic curatorial pairing of 2 artists working in different mediums both at the height of each artists' practice.
-Will Dodd is a self taught artist, born in England, whose carvings are inspired by indigenous traditional tattooing cultures. He has traveled the world extensively with the purpose of collecting traditional tattoos and cultivating relationships with indigenous peoples. His wood-block carvings are based upon centuries old traditional designs and illustrate the symbiotic relationship and interdisciplinary nature of carving and tattooing.
-Steven Lopez has always been fond of art. His earliest childhood memories are sprinkled with colorful murals around Boyle Heights. After high school Lopez made a choice to move out of state and attend the University of Oregon. He graduated in 2000 with a B.A. in Fine Arts.
Lopez’s work has been featured with Reebok, Nestle, Dunkin’ Donuts, Coachella, Pepsi, United Way, and Spy Optic. Noted celebrities that have worked with him include Erykah Badu, Akon and Jill Scott.. He has also made appearances on Fuel TV, BBC and the Discovery Channel.
Lopez’s work is inspired by relationships he cultivates with people, music, and art. What he learns from lifes experience is the foundation of his work. His formula is and always will be story, substance and then style.
-Gamelan X Gamelan X world music ensemble presents dynamic, original music for concerts and dance events. Drawing musical inspiration from Indonesian, Balkan, African, Indian and American traditions, Gamelan X combines complex interlocking rhythms and sinewy melodies into a visceral groove experience that excites and entrances its listeners.
The Gamelan X “Bali-bass” groove ritual: dynamic, mesmerizing, and highly addictive.
