Exhibition on view: Aug. 22 – Sept. 8, 2022 RECEPTION: Thursday, Aug. 25, 4 – 7 P.M., ART GALLERY FA 103 FREE PARKING IN LOT # 1. PARK IN STAFF SPACES ONLY. MASKS REQUIRED. San Diego Mesa College Art Gallery hosts this exhibition of pictorial and sculptural investigations on color, light and texture, featuring recent artworks by San Diego-based artists Christian Garcia-Olivo, Kaori Fukuyama and Melissa Walter. The advent of Modernism inspired artists to explore abstraction and in the 20th century painters were motivated to pursue explorations with a variety of media in order to capture both the material and the immaterial. Jackson Pollock’s drip paintings, physically vigorous in form and action, can be contrasted with the ethereal rigor of perceptual light works by the Southern California Light and Space movement of the 60s and 70s; and to the interest on phenomenology of some conceptual art. The three artists whose works are assembled together in "The Weight of Color", "The Shape of Light", delve into these legacies; there’s a push and pull of the picture plane, a celebration of both organic and synthetic pigments while surface and materials are manipulated in novel and unexpected ways. These artists manipulate paint and pigments in novel and unexpected ways: Shaped canvases vibrate in contrasting colors; paint becomes solid like skin and thread; pulverized lava dust shaped into words. Gallery hours: M,T,W 12 - 5 pm, TH 12 am - 7 pm or by appointment. Closed Fridays, Weekends and School Holidays. For info call (619) 388-2829.

Shapel Lacey grew from the Phoenix open mic circuit onto main stages where he regularly opened for comedians such as Bill Burr, Hannibal Buress, and Frank Caliendo. A diehard punk rocker and former award winning competitive cheerleader, Shapel found ways to express himself and own his individuality at an early age. His unique life experiences (such as being adopted by a Caucasian family at age 15), punk rock mentality, and stage presence combine to make for a truly original voice in comedy. Shapel is preparing for what looks like a very busy near future, opening for his idol Henry Rollins at the Sonic Temple Music Festival, performing at Comedy Central’s festival Clusterfest, and being named as a prestigious Just For Laughs Comedy Festival “New Face”. You can hear him regularly on podcasts The Fighter and The Kid and Shapel's World.
