BG GALLERY hosts an opening reception for a group show entitled
“CIRCULAR” on Saturday, May 26th. Presented by Gestalt Projects,
the exhibit is curated by Airom, who manages to find new and inventive
themes for exhibitions on a consistent basis.Artist Ray Ford will be
exhibiting his original wood sculptures. At age 90, he said he still
creates seven days a week. “I can’t stop, it’s a calling,”
said Ford, who will be exhibiting ten of his round wood sculptures as
part of the “Circular” show. “I do a lot of work on the lathe so
those pieces are circular, at least in one dimension.” Ford said one
of his favorite things to do is create circular works on the lathe and
then enhance them with intricate designs. “The most fun is to make
the leaves after it is turned,” said the artist. These exquisite
one-of-a-kind sculptures are what Ford is known for. In addition to
being a talented wood carver, he has done quite a bit of drawing and
painting in his lifetime, but wood carving remains his main focus.
He has exhibited at SANTA MONICA Art Studios, Blue 7 Gallery, FAB
Gallery, The Hängar and Ivan Gallery. Find out more about Ray Ford
and his sculptures on his website at http://hrayford.com/

Artist Jill Stoll has one work in the group show. The title of the
work is An Unhealthy Obsession with Geography (Canyon Valley). “Who
said that art has to be square or rectangular? OM is asking the
audience to reconsider their assumptions about art and what to expect
from a gallery, one that is forward thinking and risk-taking,” said
Stoll. http://jillstoll.com [http://jillstoll.com]
Pamela Mower-Conner has participated in over five group shows at BG
GALLERY. The CIRCULAR THEME WORKS WELL FOR MOWER-Conner. “It is a
perfect fit for my work on globes.” The artist has been painting on
spheres since 2000. See http://www.pamelamower-conner.com/

Maria Bouquet will be exhibiting a round LED light geometric
sculpture. “The Light Art series is inspired on geometrical
patterns found in nature. It is a series of dynamic and
three-dimensional body of works that play with the view of the
observer.” Visit Bouquet’s website for additional info

J. Renee Tanner will have one piece featured. She works in series of
installations comprised of multiple pieces and parts that are
adaptable and portable and responsive to a variety of temporary
environments. These vintage compass cards were salvaged from an
industrial environment now a contemporary studio space. The magnets
facilitate archival protection and allow endless composition,
exploration, and possibilities for taking these relics into the
future. http://www.jreneetanner.com/ [http://www.jreneetanner.com/]
