From Swish Projects: Swish Projects is pleased to present “Castillos y Cuevas Joyas y Piedras”, a solo exhibition by visual artist Lilian Martinez (@bfgf). Join us this Saturday, November 20th, from 12:00 to 3:00pm at Swish for the exhibition’s opening reception. Much thanks to @ariianapearl @soft.qtrly for making this show possible. — About the artist: Exploring themes of beauty, humor and comfort, visual artist Lilian Martinez captures portraits and still-life’s that are as full of vibrance and warmth as her subjects. Using paper, canvas and linen, Martinez often portrays women of color in postures of strength and dignity. Her ceramic sculptures are lucid, and are equal parts playful as they are thought-provoking. Her home goods brand BFGF (Boyfriend / Girlfriend) contains products designed by Lilian, which are in many ways extensions of the themes found in her paintings. Lilian Martinez studied photography at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She currently lives and works between Yucca Valley and Los Angeles, CA. She has exhibited her work nationally and internationally, most recently with Ochi Projects [Los Angeles], The Naughton Gallery [Belfast, Ireland] and Commune [Tokyo, Japan].

Music both old and new reimagined for the Hutchins Consort instruments, featuring mandolin and accordion continuo. The Hutchins Consort plays on the eight scaled violins of the violin octet designed and built by famed luthier Dr. Carleen Hutchins. The instruments are the first successful attempt to create an acoustically balanced set of instruments that can sound truly like violins across the entire range of written music. With instruments ranging from the tiny treble violin, tuned one octave above the standard violin, to the gigantic large bass violin, tuned one octave lower than a 'cello, the Hutchins Consort produces an astonishing palette of sounds.
