Offramp Gallery's current exhibition, Anita Bunn: Blind Spot continues through November 16, 2008. We are pleased to announce that the gallery will be open to the public on Sunday, October 12 and Sunday, November 9, from 1-5pm. The artist will be in attendance both days.
If you can't make it to either Open Sunday, please call 626-298-6931 to schedule a visit.
In Blind Spot, Anita takes a seemingly simple construct of tree tops and sky, presented in a square format, and repeats it to great effect. There is at first a sense of beautiful calm in these eight photos. Variations on the theme -- blue sky becomes grey sky becomes ominous clouds -- give way to an underlying sense of mystery and intensity.

Offramp grows tomato larger than Statue of Liberty
|
|
Because Offramp Gallery is located in our home, we consider it more than an art gallery -- it's a lifestyle. We have fruit trees, an herb garden and have been trying our hand at growing tomatoes. Who knew a vacant lot by the freeway would produce such giants? It must be the smog. The tomato pictured at right weighed in at a whopping 1.6 pounds and was delicious. We made panini on whole grain bread, with a couple of thin slices of mozzarella, and a 1/2" slab of our prize tomato.
