ART IN THE ARTHOUSE presents: RAYMOND LOGAN: CARVING IN PAINT in Glendale

by

ART IN THE ARTHOUSE  proudly presents the eye-popping exhibit RAYMOND LOGAN: CARVING IN PAINT at our sparkling new theatre, Laemmle Glendale.  The art is for sale and on display till October 2018. Stop by our new galleries at Laemmle’s newest theatre; no need to buy a movie ticket to view.

About the exhibit
Don’t call Raymond Logan a “realistic artist.” While his work depicts real-life subject matter, it is fundamentally grounded in abstraction and intuition. His true goal is to create a dialogue with you, the viewer, whereby mutual discovery and re-imagining of “the self” can take place. “Without the viewer, I am that proverbial tree in the forest,” he muses.

Raised locally, Logan developed as an artist in that wonderful vacuum known as childhood. As a young adult, he went on to graduate from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena and proceeded to serve multiple tours of duty in graphic design and advertising. This cumulative history heavily influences his painting today, especially in the realm of color. After a twenty-year hiatus from art, a chance encounter with a Cézanne self-portrait in Nashville inspired Logan to pick up a brush again. He selected oil paint as his medium because of its fluidity and malleability, often referring to his painting style as “carving” rather than painting.

Engaging Logan’s work is either an exercise in mysticism or quantum mechanics, depending on your bent. Go up close and experience the chaotic interplay of color and texture that plays out on the quantum level. Pull back and the artistic detail miraculously resolves into a recognizable pattern; the cosmos is familiar once more. Logan is still a resident Angeleno, living in our midst with his wife and two ebullient and boundlessly optimistic sons. We are thrilled to present him and his work as our first Art in the Arthouse showcase here at the brand new Laemmle Glendale.

For wait list information

They’re back! Our good friends from McCabe’s grace us once again with their musical gifts on Sunday, August 5. LAEMMLE LIVE presents McCabe’s Guitar Shop for a free pop-up celebration of all things guitar and other choice instruments. McCabe’s renowned teachers and students share their wit and wisdom with lively performances and demos. Hosted by Head of Music School Denny Croy at the Monica Film Center.

It began in 1958. Furniture designer Gerald McCabe repaired guitars for his folk-singer wife’s musician friends who had no local music store. Gerald and his friend Ed Kahn decided to open a small music shop on Pico Blvd in Santa Monica. They began repairing instruments, selling folk music books and records, carrying Mexican guitars and old banjos. Word spread and local musicians began hanging out, relishing one of the only guitar shops in the Southern California area. One of those young musicians was Bob Riskin. Bob started as an employee in 1960. In the early 60’s lessons and classes were added. In 1969 McCabe’s began presenting live concerts. Bob Riskin became sole owner in 1986. Bob and his wife Espie are still running McCabe’s today! Over the years, musicians from all aspects of the musical spectrum, from gifted amateurs to seasoned professionals, have come to appreciate McCabe’s friendly, knowledgeable sales staff, expert repair shop and world class teaching staff.  Join us for memorable music from a local treasure!

ART IN THE ARTHOUSE presents: The Pasadena Art Show 2018 June 13

by

Laemmle’s Art in the Arthouse presents THE PASADENA ART SHOW 2018! Please join us as we celebrate our local artists in an intimate theatre setting. Our special event features a slideshow on the big screen, artist talks, and of course refreshments. Meet the artists and stay for the wine, cheese and conversation Art in the Arthouse is known for. Sales benefit the Laemmle Foundation and its support of humanitarian and environmental causes in the Los Angeles region.

About the Exhibit

We continue our tradition of showcasing dynamic, local talent in this fourth edition of our annual Pasadena group exhibit. Produced every year by master impresario Lynn Chang, the process began with an online juried selection culled from over two hundred entries.

Judging criteria included aspects such as color, tone, line, composition, as well as skillful handling and sensitivity to media and materials. The body of work engages, delights, and provokes some intriguing questions: Do artists impose their picture on the world or does the world impose itself upon the artist? How do artists bridge the space between source and creative output? One cannot create and be in doubt at the same time. Just as no two objects occupy the same space, it takes conviction and commitment for the work to find its voice.

The challenge for our artists is how to extend the visual moment through guile and
wonder. Shifting fields of nature, tonal photos, torn paper landscapes, figures gazing in the stillness of a room, and dreamy abstracts reconnect us to the present.

 – Joshua Elias, CURATOR
