The current show blends abstract painting with landscape painting and emerging artists with established ones. Five small paintings by one of southern California's artistic legends, Ed Moses, are on view. These paintings were completed in late 2008 when Moses was 82 years of age. He currently has a show in Los Angeles that takes up two gallery spaces, Greenfield Sacks Gallery and Frank Lloyd Gallery. Moses is doing some of the strongest work of his 60 year career and we are lucky to have these works. The works are a bargain too!
Also on display are four paintings by Ed's son Andy Moses who is an art star on his own. Although many see Andy Moses' work as abstract, they are in fact landscape paintings of intense depth and beauty. His work is currently in at least three group shows in Los Angeles but has rarely been seen in San Diego. Andy Moses studied art at Cal Arts in Valencia graduating in the late eighties and has been showing nationally and internationally ever since. His studio is currnetly in Venice CA, but he spent 10 years living and working in New York and becoming a master of the painterly craft. His work is atmospherical and mysterious. His canvases are often shaped in a concave or a convex and the surfaces of his paintings border on perfect. Come check out these works, we are lucky to have them in North County.
