September 10–November 5, 2022 Opening Reception: Friday, September 9, 6:30–8:30 p.m. From the museum: British-born artist Derek Boshier presents a visual survey of various Occupations rendered in his characteristic heads. “I have of late been making many drawings from the size in this exhibition to larger seven-foot drawings,” he describes. Boshier first came to prominence with his paintings as a student at the Royal College of Art in London in the early 1960s, with fellow students David Hockney, Allen Jones, R.B. Kitaj, and others in the British Pop Art movement. Subsequently he has worked in other media, drawing, printmaking, film, books, three dimensional objects, installations, and photography among them. His graphic work with popular music groups such as The Clash and with David Bowie have brought his work to a wider audience. Boshier was awarded an Honorary Fellowship from the Royal College of Art, London in 2016, a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2017, and an Honorary Doctorate of the Arts from Solent University in Southampton, UK, in 2021. In addition to his art practice, Boshier has a long and distinguished record as an educator, teaching at the Central School of Art and Design, London, 1963–1979, the Royal College of Art, London, 1973–1979, the University of Houston,1980–1992, and the CalArts in Los Angeles, from 1997 to the present.

Her large and varied works include paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, installations, and artist’s books. A graduate of UCLA, Fredman juggled marriage and raising a family with the rigors of developing cutting-edge art. Her final body of work combines goddess imagery, vintage puppets, narrative forays into surreal worlds, and hybrid works combining graffiti with botanical imagery. Fredman’s work can be found in many public and private collections, including the MoMA, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, and numerous others. Panel information: Join us for a panel featuring Suda House, Robert Pincus, Alfred Pagano, and Allwyn O’Mara discussing Faiya Fredman’s work and processes.
