I just finished a new painting in the series called Emulation (18 x 24, oil on panel) that will be at Gallery Henoch in New York for their Amusing Still Lifes show from November 3-26. “In 2016, I started working on a series of robot paintings and wanted to explore individuality and identity and how we relate to ‘the other.’ I still revisit the subject now and again when I have a new thought. “This was a fun one to paint,” said McGhee. With entertainment in mind, the exhibit opens on Elizabeth McGhee’s 2016 oil painting Electric Love II. “The purpose of the show is to entertain,” said Pat Sparkuhl, curator of the FOA Permanent Art Collection.
“People & Places,” an exhibition of the FOA Permanent Collection, is on display through Januat foaSouth located inside Active Culture Others offer intricate studies that showcase what their form can do (at first glance, you might think Scott Albert’s watercolor, Vinita Voogd’s print and Darlene Campbell’s acrylic painting are photographs). People & Places contains several watercolors as well as work across other media (including oil, photography, acrylic and printmaking).
Now through January 15, 2023, the public is treated to 11 pieces from the collection on display at foaSouth, the gallery located on Pacific Coast Highway and Anita Street inside Active Culture. The result is a compendium that’s both timely and timeless. The majority, however, simply reflect each artist’s contribution to Laguna’s artistic culture and the vast depth and breadth of work produced here over the past 110 years. Others pay homage to Eiler Larsen, Laguna’s renowned Greeter. Many pieces capture our landscapes as they once were with empty beaches and pristine coves. The collection traces the evolution of our town’s traditions and character over the last century and memorializes some of the city’s iconic architecture. With works dating back to 1913 and numbering around 1,100 pieces, the collection represents not only some of Orange County’s finest artists, but our town’s storied history. Perhaps one of the best kept art secrets in town – or at least one of the lesser-known hidden gems – is the Festival of Arts (FOA) extensive permanent collection.
