The Hive Gallery’s Winter Show is shaping up to be another eclectic blast of character and color, with a variety of new featured artists, a fun bag of entertainment, and a special curator, Andrew McGregor.
My work The Shepherd will take part in Andrew’s Neo-Primitivism exhibit, described as:
“A group show at The Hive Gallery in Los Angeles featuring artists who have created work according to their own interpretation of the theme. Neo-primitivism as we are using the definition and concept means a form of expression that does not aim for an exact reproduction of reality but rather assemblies of simple and easy to form motifs that individually represent concepts arranged to convey meaning while also attempting to please aesthetically. This is done with a modern twist utilizing that which technology provides us. Thus, what is easy to create and repeat is not necessarily trivial. However, the elements must be obvious in their subtext. A more semiotic impressionism, if you will!”
From Oomvelt.org, “Andrew has an eclectic background in the not-for-profit and social enterprise worlds drawing from his expertise as a filmmaker, inventor, writer, chessboxing champion, entrepreneur, frequent TEDx speaker, mentor, Highlands games athlete, photojournalist, and a founder of The Tiziano Project.
The Tiziano Project is a not-for-profit that used to teach journalism to people living in conflict zones and neglected parts of the world with an emphasis on creating jobs through media training that worked in places such as Rwanda, Somalia, DR Congo, Iraq, Kenyan slums, a California youth prison, Israel, Palestine, and South Central LA.”
