Glendale Arts is pleased to present Magical Landscapes, a solo exhibition from painter and graphic and mixed media collage artist Lori Markman. The show, featuring a series of mixed media collages on paper, will be on view from February 22-March 22, 2025.
Inspired by the beauty, harmony, and aesthetics of traditional Japanese landscape art, Markman captures the serenity and elegance of natural scenes while infusing them with a contemporary sensibility through intricate layering and a vibrant interplay of texture and color. Each piece invites viewers to explore a world where tradition meets innovation, evoking a sense of wonder and tranquility.
Reflecting on her work as a collage artist, Markman states, “I use art to tell stories that are personal and important to me. I seek images that contain within them something of the thoughts, feelings, emotions, and psychological states I want to express. The selected images inspire my artwork, modifying and transforming those images until they express the story I want to tell.” Magical Landscapes offers a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in Markman’s vibrant storytelling and engage with her creative journey.
To enhance the Magical Landscapes experience, Glendale Arts will host a series of events and activities at the gallery that celebrate and deepen the connection to the exhibition’s theme. Check the ace/121 Gallery’s home page for more information about these events.
The public is invited to meet the artist at the Magical Landscapes Opening Reception on Saturday, February 22 from 6:00-8:00pm and attend a Closing Reception & Artist Talk celebrating the culmination of the exhibition on March 22 from 6:00-7:00pm.
The Gallery is open from Wednesday – Saturday from 11:00am-5:00pm.
