Three Artist Exhibition at Phantom Galleries LA at Homestead House in Pasadena
Currently, DanielakArt, in conjunction with Phantom Galleries LA, is exhibiting at Homestead House at 680 E. Colorado Blvd. and El Molino in Pasadena's Playhouse District.
On display is the work of Robert G. Stevens' acrylic landscapes of New Mexico and Julie Snyder's beautifully executed new oil paintings on El Molino (across from the Pasadena Playhouse). Also included in the exhibition are Mark Venaglia's stunning new work on Colorado Blvd across from Vroman's Bookstore - including hand painted, one of a kind, vintage handbags.
Each artist's work will be on display until the end of August, 2008.
ABOUT OUR NEW ARTISTS JULIE SNYDER AND MARK VENAGLIA:
A native of Scotland, Julie Snyder studied drawing and painting at the Glasgow School of Art. She forged her craft as an illustrator in advertising, publishing and the motion picture industry, including Warner Bros. Her artistic career has spanned both sides of the Atlantic and included several years of residence in Southern Spain.
To see more of Julie Snyder's new "Golden Muse" series visit 680 E. Colorado Blvd (El Molino Side) across from the Pasadena Playhouse or visit our gallery website www.danielakart.com.
Botanical painter and Trompe L'oeil master Mark Venaglia was the featured Green Artist in the American Society of Interior Design's 43rd annual Showcase House. Called "one of the most exciting artists in America today" by The New York Times, the artist is currently working on a large commission for one of DanielakArt's collectors. Venaglia, who created a mural diptych of giant poppies for the PerCent for Art Program in Pasadena, utilizes earth friendly casein fresco paint on organic muslin for all of his paintings and murals.
Shown above are three images from each of the artists, Sea Anenome "Rituals" by Mark Venaglia, "Summer Day in Madrid, New Mexico" by Robert G. Stevens and "Rehearsal" by Julie Snyder.

GOT A R T ?
A bi-monthly art blog by Margaret Danielak
Author of A Gallery Without Walls (ArtNetwork Press)
What is the exact definition of the word “contemporary” in “contemporary art?”
Is it (1) art created by living artists, (2) modern art, (3) art created in modern times (since World War II), or simply (4) art that goes bump in the night?
According to my friend, a museum curator in Northern California, contemporary art is art of the present time. In other words, contemporary means now.
In addition, he said, “the word contemporary does not refer to a particular school or style of art.” You can say contemporary realism, contemporary portraiture, contemporary landscapes, and the works will be contemporary only because you created them in the present time - obviating the need for the word “contemporary.” Saying your work is contemporary will not indicate that the pieces necessarily look like abstract expressionist works.
I asked one of the artists I represent what her definition was, and she said “contemporary art is art created by living artists.”
This sounded good to me.
Then I thought, what does WIKIEPEDIA, the online encyclopedia, say?
“The term contemporary art encompasses all art being done now. It tends to include any art made from around the 1960s to the present, or after the end of the modern art period. The use of the literal adjective "contemporary" to define this period in art history is due to the lack of any recognized or dominant form or genre of art as recognized by artists or art historians and critics.“ http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&defl=en&q=define:contemporary+art&sa=X&oi=glossary_definition&ct=title
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contemporary_art
What does the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) say? On their current website, they claim that they exhibit art created since 1940. They explain their mission: “MOCA identifies and supports the most significant and challenging art of its time, places it in historical context, and links the range of the visual arts to contemporary culture. MOCA provides leadership by actively fostering and presenting new work, emerging media, and original scholarship.”
http://www.moca.org/museum/us_home.php
Excellent - it sounds reasonable, except I have been to their shows. Can’t say I’ve been aware of an over abundance of representational artwork.
Another friend said “contemporary art is art that is expensive, inexplicable, and far out. It is art that requires one to sing songs and sling pudding on the walls.” (And yes, creating batches of chocolate pudding – and then throwing it on the walls - was indeed required of the gallery assistant who recently took over my friend’s job at a contemporary art gallery in New York).
So, after doing this research, I think I can say with conviction that contemporary art is art created since 1940, with a special emphasis on art created since 1960, by artists who may have died, unfortunately, while waiting for this definition to solidify in our culture. In addition, contemporary art is art created by living artists who may or may not be creating representational art, but are most definitely creating art that stimulates the senses, and perhaps even tastes good.
Bon Appetit!
