Thursday, Oct 24 at 5:30 PM: Artist’s Talk at The Penny
Join SLOMA and artist Whitney Bedford @whitneybedford for an artist’s talk at The Penny @thepennyslo in downtown SLO. Free admission but RSVP required.
Whitney Bedford is an artist who was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, but has lived in Los Angeles, by the beach, most of her life. She feels that a constant sense of travel, a love of art history, and a new rooted amazement at flora and fauna have most directed her work. Bedford’s early paintings consisted of shipwrecks, icebergs, rainforests, lightning strikes, and fireworks in works that represented the natural world. References to works by artists such as John Constable, Theodore Gericault, Pierre Bonnard, Paul Gauguin, Milton Avery, and Charles Burchfield are the foundations of the paintings she makes, which portray the deteriorating natural world in which we live.
For her exhibition at SLOMA, she will debut a brand new large-scale painting, which will be in conversation with paintings loaned from her California-based collectors and works on paper.
IMPORTANT: This is a special OFFSITE artist’s talk at The Penny in downtown SLO, not at SLOMA.
