Event Description The Ordover Gallery is proud to announce its first exhibition featuring painting, Hope and Tragedy: Contemporary Paintings by Saphire. The public is invited to meet Saphire at the opening reception on January 21, Third Thursday, from 5–8 PM in the Ordover Gallery’s Solana Beach location. Saphire, an emotive artist, creates paintings that draw the viewer in—one begins to contemplate the abstract figures that seemingly interweave, sway and meld into one another. Vibrant bursts of unexpected color move across the canvas in surges of emotion. In Saphire’s work there are complex visual, spatial and emotional relationships between the abstracted forms. The viewer is invited to decipher and interpret these liaisons. Regarding her work, Saphire says, “I see each painting before I paint it. My work is a reflection of what is inside of me, an offshoot of my emotions. A painting might start off positive, but as I work, my emotions may change and so does the emerging piece.” Saphire also relates that she works in series; she creates either three or five different paintings in each series. A prolific artist in many mediums, Saphire works in oil, acrylic, and mixed media. She often uses many layers, and includes gold leaf, translucent acrylics mixed with iridescent paints, fabrics, tissues, and paper. She pours resin over her canvases, and uses a gel resin as well. Saphire also creates monoprints, etchings, lithographs and fine art jewelry. Her work is exhibited in galleries across the country, and is in numerous private collections. In addition to work by Saphire, paintings by Sunna Bohlen and Heidi Rufeh will be shown, as well as fine art photography by Lisa Ross, Abe Ordover and Peter Fay.

Event Description Lux Art Institute, San Diego’s first LEED-certified interactive art destination, will launch a new “residency” program in 2010 designed for children. Led by Lux’s highly trained education staff, Kids-in-Residence will be an in-depth, after-school art program offered five times a year to young artists ages eight to 12. Each multi-week session will correspond to the Lux Artist-in-Residence schedule, which for the remainder of the 2009/2010 Season, features abstract painter Iva Gueorguieva, sculptor Robert Lobe and Berlin-based artist Sati Zech whose works encompass elements of painting, sculpture and drawing. The curriculum will allow kids to get up-close and personal with these professional artists by studying their work, engaging in conversation, experimenting with similar techniques and materials and following the artists’ progress in the studio from start to finish. “After the success of our Summer Art Camps, parents expressed tremendous interest in after-school art classes for their children through Lux,” said Lux Director of Education Kara Leen. “Kids-in-Residence is another great way we can provide kids with a creative outlet and high-quality arts instruction that isn’t always available in the school day.” Kids-in-Residence Schedule with: Artist: IVA GUEORGUIEVA Dates: January 21 to February 25 on Thursdays, 3 to 5 p.m. Description: Students will discover the challenges and possibilities of abstract art while making a series of paintings that express emotions and ideas rather than replicate real world objects. Students will meet with resident artist Iva Gueorguieva each week and watch as she creates a large, expressionistic painting. Art fundamentals of color and line will be discussed, as well as the significance and history of abstraction in Western art. Cost for six-week session: $200 non-members; $175 members Space is limited to 12 children per session, and registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information or to reserve your spot for a particular session, call 760-436-6611 or e-mail education@luxartinstitute.org at least three weeks prior to the desired session’s start date. Kids-in-Residence will expand on Lux’s already established and critically acclaimed education programs: the school-based outreach program, the Valise Project; the Luxcursion program, which invites students to tour the artist’s studio and complete a related art project on site; and Summer Art Camp, which offers a means of artistic expression to youngsters on summer vacation.
