OPENING RECEPTION MONDAY, DECEMBER 31, 6-9PM

Carol Glenn has traveled to locations throughout the world and studied ceramics with master potters since the 1970s. Her pottery exudes her life’s experiences, relationships and connections to her own family, art and home. She is a recipient of the prestigious Moonhole Fellowship from the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston and also studied at the Sun Valley Center for the Arts and University Southern California at Idyllwild. Her work is in many private collections throughout the world. Glenn lives and works in Ketchum, Idaho.

Thomas Linder was born in Saint Paul, Minnesota and currently works in Los Angeles, California. Linder received his BFA in Sculpture and Community Arts from Kansas City Art Institute in 2008, and his MFA in Sculpture from Bowling Green State University in 2011. Linder’s process as a sculptor utilizes wood and fiberglass to create paintings and modular sculptures that interact with their setting’s light sources to activate, reflect, and project translucent planes of color. There is a strong sense of experimentation that flows through the practice, producing many formats, textures, and applications through the interaction of these two materials. Linder is also co-founder of the Los Angeles artist-run gallery, BBQLA.

Los Angeles based artist Christy Matson uses yarn with varying textures and hand weaving on a highly technical loom, to create textiles that are more like abstract or Modernist paintings. Matson's work is in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago and Smithsonian Museum of American Art’s Renwick Gallery, as well as numerous corporate and private collections. In 2012 Matson was tenured and appointed as Associate Professor of Fiber and Material Studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her recent exhibitions include the Long Beach Museum of Art, Craft and Folk Art Museum Los Angeles, Museum of Contemporary Arts Houston, The Milwaukee Art Museum, The Knoxville Museum of Art, the Asheville Museum of Art, and The San Francisco Museum of Craft+Design.

Rob Reynolds is a visual artist living and working in Los Angeles. His output includes paintings and photography, sculptural objects, sound and public art. He often includes historical imagery and text, working in dialog with the traditions of west coast pop, and light and space movements, bringing social and sometimes political themes into his work. He has received degrees in art from Brown University, School of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and Cornell University. Reynolds has had various solo shows in the United States and has been included in shows internationally.

Brittany Sanders is an artist living and working in Ojai, California. Her watercolor and gouache paintings on paper deal with the temporal nature of time. Her work is in the permanent collections of: The Getty Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, New York Public Library, New York University, The Norton Family Foundation, Stanford University, Yale University, UCLA Special Collections, The Peter and Helen Bing Family, The Bonel Collection, The Francis Ford Coppola Family, The George Gund Family, Agnes Gund, Tony Kushner, Maya Lin, Eileen Harris Norton.

Brian Wills employs rayon thread, paint and occasionally polyurethane to create works that emphasize the notion that line and color are to be experienced versus observed. Wills is interested in the collapse of a viewer’s intuitive ability to identify structure, plane and material. Playing off the interests of the previous generation of light and space artists, Wills’ works are not to be passively noticed, rather a viewer must move about the work to detect its subtle dynamism. Wills lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. Wills received a BA from Denison University and JD, SSP and AM, SSP from Harvard Law School. He has recently exhibited at Quint Gallery, Praz-Delavallade, Ochi Gallery and Dominique Fiat and his work is in numerous collections such as the Palm Springs Art Museum, Coleccion Jumex and the Frederick Weisman Foundation.
