I don't know about you, but I'm preoccupied with tomorrow's election, like I never have been before. So I thought I would use this space to add my voice to the chorus:
* VOTE * VOTE * VOTE * VOTE * VOTE * VOTE * VOTE * VOTE *
.
As always, I welcome your feedback. You can contact me by clicking on the "Reply to the sender" button above or by e-mailing me directly at jane@offrampgallery.com. -- Jane Chafin, Director

Anita Bunn: Blind Spot

Offramp Gallery's inaugural exhibition, Anita Bunn: Blind Spot continues through November 16, 2008. The gallery is now open to the public on Sundays from 1-5pm and by appointment. Anita will be "in the house" on Sunday, November 9.
If you can't make it on Sunday, please call 626-298-6931 to schedule a visit.
The response to Blind Spot has been extremely positive. Two qualities stand out as we have lived with the work in our house for the last six weeks: beauty and accessibility. You don't need a degree in art history to appreciate Anita's work, but if you have one, the work holds up. 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 Gallery is proud to announce the upcoming exhibition, Linsley Lambert: Portraits, January 11 – February 22, 2009, with an opening reception on Sunday, January 11 from 2-5pm. Linsley describes herself as being preoccupied with the “power and universality” of the portrait. Her photoreal portraits are carefully crafted with built-up layers of oil paint and glazes giving her subjects an almost palpable plasticity and luminosity that adds to their emotional intensity. Her subjects are her contemporaries – artists, friends and musicians. Click here to learn more about Linsley's work

Offramp Gallery is proud to announce the upcoming exhibition, Rick Araluce: Constructions, January 11 – February 22, 2009 with an opening reception on Sunday, January 11 from 2-5pm. Seattle-based Araluce creates miniature constructions: mysterious, unpopulated rooms of the subconscious. Everything in these works is meticulously hand-crafted by the artist. Closed doors, cut telephone lines, a clock that has stopped or a single light bulb hanging from a wire are typical of the motifs that give Rick’s work its sense of dark narrative. Rick is creating several new works for this solo exhibition.

Notes (& Gossip)
Congratulations Project 210
|
|
Congratulations to Quinton Bemiller and Chuck Feesago on the October opening of their new gallery, Project 210, just a few exits down the freeway from Offramp. Their inaugural exhibition is THESE THREE: Anita Bunn - Kimi Kolba - Bianca Kolonusz-Partee and runs through November 8. The inclusion of Anita Bunn in both of our inaugural exhibitions was one of those wonderful coincidences. Congratulations to Anita, Kimi and Bianca!
Chaz and I had a wonderful time Saturday at the Brewery Artwalk, the rainy fall weather only adding to the excitement. We chatted with artists Joyce Dallal, David Amico, Roland Reiss (who gave us a sneak peak at his beautiful new paintings) and Dawn Arrowsmith, among others.
