A group of people that miss the same imaginary place.&#8221; \u00a0Imaginary Homelands explores various conceptions of home as a place that is dark, funny, and filled with desire, both spiritual and sexual. Arena&#8217;s paintings, when taken together, tie to a greater narrative, with characters and places that turn up over and over again. She uses found materials &#8211; bits of lace and pieces of quilt &#8211; that conjure home, but are then transformed and co-mingled with painted figures. Paint finds its way out of the canvas, out onto the frame itself, which shows that the paintings, while about imaginary homelands are also very much tactile objects that hang on people&#8217;s walls.\u2028 To slightly modify a quote by Jose Bergamin, a Spanish writer, essayist, poet and playwright: &#8220;To be hungry and eat is the perfection of sensuality rarely achieved.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Linda Kunik&#8217;s provocative <em>Ripe<\/em> exhibition features close-up, abstracted C-prints of tomatoes and other vegetables, at their most sensual, and at their most sexual. The photos are not an end in themselves, but rather serve to unfold a more complex knot of concerns about life, pleasure, sensuality and sexuality. Vegetables have a sensuality all their own, but Kunik skillfully exaggerates their sensual characteristics in this new body of work.<\/p>\n<p>Dan Monteavaro&#8217;s new body of work <em>Pixel Tenement<\/em> explores urban locations and items as a process of documenting emotional landmarks. \u00a0The pixel-like paintings convey the sense that almost all memories and experiences are becoming increasingly tied to the manner in which information is received and its relevancy (i.e. television, computer, etc). The images range from landscapes to iconic images. Along with the paintings, Monteavaro will also feature partially painted and partially destroyed cast concrete pieces along the perimeter of the gallery to accentuate the emotive environment for the work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DETAILS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>When<\/strong>: February 26 &#8211; March 25, 2011<br \/>\nOpening reception: Saturday, February 26, from 6-9 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>Gallery hours are 10 a.m. \u2013 5 p.m., Tuesday &#8211; Saturday or by appointment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where<\/strong>: Los Angeles Art Association \/ Gallery 825<br \/>\n825 North La Cienega Blvd.\u2028Los Angeles<\/p>\n<p><strong>Admission<\/strong>: Free<\/p>\n<p><strong>More Information<\/strong>:<br \/>\nTel: 310.652.8272<br \/>\nEmail: <span style=\"color: #144595;\"><a href=\"mailto:gallery825@laaa.org\" target=\"_blank\">gallery825@laaa.org<br \/>\n<\/a><\/span>Web: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laaa.org\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #144595;\">www.laaa.org<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/~curatin1\/cla\/legacy-images\/organizations\/LAAA825_logo.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1298657914994\" alt=\"LAAA\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\nThe Los Angeles Art Association (LAAA) is one of the city\u2019s oldest art institutions.
