PEN INK & FILM
EVE Gallery presents two artists that are inspired by the streets and their surroundings. One works with pen ink, Papermate to be exact, and the other uses the lens as his tool to capture the essence of his subjects. Together they harmonize quite nicely!
JOHNNIE DOMINGUEZ
With the Papermate pen as his weapon of choice, Johnnie Dominguez bleeds forth upon the paper, the trials and tribulations both physical and spiritual of the people of California as well as himself. Summoning energy from the asphalt and the places of his youth all across the IE and SGV. Johnnie harnesses this power in his pen to wield the evil forces that compel the darker side of men. " I am inspired by Southern California, near death experiences, dreams of St. Death, my God and the lives of friends I hold dear; all this I wish to share with you.”
J-OPEN
J began his journey in photography in the early 90's while attending high school in Southern California. There he learned the basic skills of film photography, documenting friends and family. In the late 90's J moved to Portland OR. He attended PSU and there he would sit in photography courses. Even though he was not officially enrolled in class, he would gain access to the darkroom and was able to process and print all of his images. During this time period J began photographing and documenting people in the streets in addtion to figurative work.
By 2000 J moved back to California and opened ILO Art Gallery in Pomona Ca. Arts Colony. J would eventually have his first showing at his own art gallery. After showing at various local galleries, J gained notoriety and was invited to exhibit his work along side well known photographers, such as, Max Gerber and others. This exhibit took place at the Cuttress Gallery in 2003. J's influences include Edward Weston, Flor Garduno, and Estevan Oriol.
The Opening Reception will be from 5:00 to 9:00 pm.
The gallery doors will open at 3:00 pm.
The exhibit will continue through July 28th

JEFF ROSS FEATURING THE SUITCASE TOUR, SAT JUNE 9
JEFF ROSS FEATURING THE SUITCASE TOUR
ARTIST RECEPTION SATURDAY JUNE 9, 5-9PM
ARTIST: Jeff Ross
BORN: Wurtzburg, Germany - 1961
CURRENT LOCATION: Denver Colorado
I have travelled extensively visiting museums and artists for my exposure to art in it’s many forms. Collecting art and books are my inspiration and education. I have been collecting Outsider art (self taught, folk art, and art brut ) for 11 years.
The art you'll see is basically what comes out of me. The different styles are created during the same periods. I switch styles depending on my materals, my location, and my mood. I have harnessed my ADD as a power tool.
My creative process is a combination of reckless abandon and fortitude. I rely on my reaction to what just happened to direct the next move, rather than planning outright. Using my 20 years of screenprinting experience as a tool, I utilize bold colors, heavy layering , and strong graphic qualities to present a fresh approach without alot of academic proceedings to make images that stick in people’s minds.
Jeff's artwork is a combination of paintings & collages integrated with mixed media that lends texture to his pieces, conveying a certain rawness & uninhibited nature. This exhibit is sure to delight & excite your senses! Artist Reception Saturday June 9, 2012 5-9PM. The gallery will open at 3:00 pm.
