Marilyn the Muse

M.J. Higgins, Los Angeles

A Portrait and Figurative Show. Group show

Celebrating the life of Marilyn Monroe, June 1, 1926 - August 5, 1962, artists Matt Aston, Mike Sajio and Hildegarde Duane offer enticing perspectives on the beloved icon's life. Matt Aston has long used Marilyn's image in his work based on the power of myth. Mike Sajio combines photographic images with actual book text creating layer after layer of feeling and meaning. A photo narrative by Hildegarde Duane depicting landmarks of Marilyn's life since birth is shown in poster and book form. Ellen Lane's assemblage elevates Marilyn to Madonna status. Kai Samuels-Davis' portraits show skill and soul beyond his years. Cary Meshul's imaginative work; abstract mandalaesque acrylics, will also be a part of upcoming shows, a landscape show in August and again in October when his larger scale works will be featured. Western and eastern influences blend and merge in his bold portraits with humorous undertones. Rodney Cinkin is a meticulous artist who begins his process with small scale, finely crafted collage to later translate into large scale paintings. Rodney will also be featured in the October show. Randall Harrington creates wonderful bronze figures with a metaphoric edge. Chati Coronel and Rosalyn Wiley round out the show with explorations of human expression and form with originality, beauty and intrigue.
