*Laguna Art Museum
Karen Feuer-Schwager, long-time Laguna Beach resident and
internationally exhibited artist, is currently showing eight of her
newest works at the Laguna Art Museums’ Sales and Rental Gallery
through June. Feuer-Schwager, a classically trained artist, has
experimented with abstract shapes and forms for many years. In her
current works, she employs polymer, a fluid medium allows her
imagination to flow into the pieces, resulting in creations that are
light, airy and often colorful.
“Laguna’s Hidden Treasures: Art from Private Collections,” through
July 10; “Paul Paiement Hybrids 1.0 -- 3.5,” through July 3; and
“Surf Culture Redux” through Oct. 5.
“Paul Paiement: Hybrids 1.0 -- 3.5,” is a five-year survey of the
Los Angeles-based painter. Hybrids is an ongoing series of watercolor
and egg tempera paintings based on psychological theories of visual
perception, with the artist acting as a painter, scientist and
entomologist.
“Laguna’s Hidden Treasures: Art from Private Collections” focuses
on collectors and their art collections in Laguna Beach and the
vicinity. Works range from the early 20th century to the early 21st
century. Profiles of the collectors, their collections and the
selected artwork will accompany the selections.
“Surf Culture Redux” is a reconfiguration of the iconic works from
the museum’s most well-attended show in its history, “Surf Culture --
The Art History of Surfing.” Past, present and future links between
surfing and art are explored through works of art by surfers and
artists influenced by surfing.
