Growth Avenue
New work by Evah Hart
Exhibition Dates
October 8 – November 7, 2009
Artist Reception
Saturday October 10th 6-9pm
Hart offers a disquieting, ambiguous and often disconsolate journey into the intimate life of her large Midwestern family. Her multi-year photographic study turns a watchful eye on their prosaic domestic rituals as well as their vertiginous experience of grief, loss and death. As she documents her brother’s terminal illness, Hart’s tense, pressurized detachment bears the psychic weight of great longing and nostalgia. These elegiac portraits convey an eerie excavation - and memorialization - of the awkwardly permanent transience of family.
Evah Hart’s work has been exhibited at the Getty Museum, Santa Monica Museum and in galleries throughout Southern CA. This is Hart’s first solo show of photographic work. Hart received her BFA with department of Art Awards from Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana. She is an instructor in photography at Art Center College of design.

ASHLEY HAGEN AND HOWARD SETH MILLER: REFLECTIONS OF INNOCENCE
November 12- December 5, 2009
Artist Reception
Saturday, November 14th 6-10pm
Ashley Hagen-
Within each of Hagen’s deliberate and romantic meditations linger the traces of a lustrous, dark enigma – an atmospheric effect concurrently brooding and joyous in its intensity.
Hagen’s paintings offer a captivating, resplendent mirage in which dense abstraction of shape and texture seem to distill themselves over time, inexorably coalescing into tangible, half-glimpsed form – rabbits, spaceships, hopscotch charts.
Her romantic, lustrous colors of chartreuse, charcoal, lavender and cherry evoke the mysterious delights of an Edwardian children’s candy counter as well as the phosphorescent bottles of Belle Epoque aperitif liqueurs.
Born in Iowa, Ashley Hagen currently lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. Hagen received her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She has studied in Florence, Italy, and Vienna, Austria. Her work has exhibited in galleries in Iowa, Chicago, Vienna, and throughout Southern California.

TEMPORARY MASTERS and RUNAWAY DISASTERS
by JASON CRUZ / AMERIKAN BLACKHEART
September 10 – October 3, 2009
Born in Los Angeles in 1974, AmerikanBlackheart is painter and musician Jason Alexander Cruz. Scrawled with apocalyptic odes and enchanting mod-pop iconography, his paintings evoke an ominous nocturnal tension: a clustered menace of Kalashnikov-slung Tuareg warriors, a hauntingly violet-tinted Twiggy, and the patent leather-wrapped talons of an impeccable trench-coated courtesan tidily folding away a bloody pocketbook full of crows.
Cruz's portraits emerge as a flirtatious, reckless army of the bar, the battlefield, and the urban alleyway. His female figures are fey, enchanting and ferocious within their glossy haute couture - his men ravaged, deranged, and disruptive. Yet within their insouciant violence run threads of sorrow, isolation, and grief.
