What is Black and White and Pink allover? Amy Kaps September 15, 2018 - November 25, 2018 Back to All Exhibitions Kaps, an interdisciplinary artist, is in constant dialogue with her surroundings and those who inhabit it. Highly conceptual with the intention of altering perception and provoking thought, Kaps’ objective is to create honestly and question the status quo while reveling in a feast for the senses. Kaps challenges the viewer to decipher the common denominators and recognize the similarities within the differences that connect us regardless of age, race, or gender. What is Black and White and Pink allover? is Kaps’ latest exhibition in her Victus Versus/Striped World series, transforming the MOAH:CEDAR galleries into one of her iconic black, white, and striped installations. A new series of work by Kaps and her longtime collaborator, photographer Eric Schwabel, will also adorn the gallery as well as video installations done in collaboration with lovemando a.k.a. Armand Briones featured in the blackroom

The Lakes and Valleys Art Guild is a nonprofit organization founded in 2003 by a few local artists. Begun in the Lakes area of the Antelope Valley, the Guild has grown over the years to an average annual membership of around 75 – 100. Members are drawn from a wide variety of backgrounds, from professional artists to those who have a strong interest in and love for art. The goal is to give local artists mutual support and a place to display their work. Each summer, members have helped support the Fine Arts section of the Antelope Valley Fair by setting up, taking in, and hanging entries, working with fair staff to monitor and sell art for the benefit of a scholarship fund. One of the Guild’s biggest events is its annual Fundraiser and Art Auction, held each September. This event draws people from all over Southern California, offering attendees a chance to bid on original works by some of the Antelope Valley’s premier artists. Membership to the Guild is only $36 per year for an individual, and $48 per year for a couple or two family members. Art students pay just $12 per year.

Follow the Sun is an exhibition of palette knife oil paintings that draw from the quiet vibration, beauty and drama of color and light as the sun moves across the sky from sunrise to sunset, in the city and by the sea, with changing atmospheric conditions. The dreamlike yet familiar landscapes are heavily influenced by environmental conditions – moments captured on a crystal-clear day, in dense fog, or swirling with smoke from wildfire or pollution. White light from the sun is comprised of all colors of the rainbow. The science of light explains why we see different colors under various conditions. During the day the sky generally appears blue to gray-white, and during sunset or sunrise looking toward the sun the sky can be red, orange, or yellow. This is because light waves that appear as color to our eyes hold different properties. Blue light waves are short and scatter easily. When the sun is above us - closer to us, the sky appears blue. Yellow and red light waves are long and not easily scattered so when the sun is farther away from us as it is at the horizon, the sky can appear yellow, orange, or red. “City of Angels” is a painting that sizzles with heat as the sun begins to rise in Los Angeles. Red, orange, and yellow light waves pass through the heavy urban atmosphere. “Into White” takes the viewer along with a jet landing in cool, dense fog. The sky is blue-white as all the light waves are being scattered away by water droplets in the atmosphere. In the painting “Phenomenon”, which depicts a natural occurrence that takes place twice a year at several locations in New York City when the sun sets directly between the buildings, the setting sun, close to the horizon, gives off a yellow and orange glow. “Stand By” with its deep pink cast takes the viewer to the runways at Los Angeles International Airport at the end of sunset, the sky is thick with atmospheric particles and the red light waves penetrate the dense layers from the distant sun. The exhibition invites the viewer to immerse themselves in the atmospheric nuances of color, contemplate the color of light, reflect on the feeling of watching a golden sunrise, looking toward the sun on the bright blue-sky day, and gazing at a blood orange sunset, and serve as a reminder to stop, look up at the sky for a moment and revel in the wonders of color and light.
