Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 12, 2004 -- Johnson Art Collection will open the fall season with a presentation of Light, Rhythm and Being," a collaboration of drawings and bronze sculptures by artists Jim Meskimen and Jule Rotenberg. The exhibit will run October 25 to November 13 with a reception attended by the artists on Monday, October 25 from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Light, Rhythm and Being is a collection of drawings and sculptures poignantly reflecting the natural rhythm of life... at times a thing of peaceful beauty, at times a thing of deep despair," says Mike Johnson, gallery director.
During his years as an art student, Jim Meskimen traveled many times to Galicia, Spain to study realist oil painting with the world-renowned artist Miguel Arguello. Today, Jim creates artwork in a variety of media, including oil paintings, computer art, lithographs and drawings. Meskimen is also widely known for his voice talent featured on www.jibjab.com.
Jim Meskimen combines his classical training from Arguello with his own multi-faceted experiences to create his powerful drawings. His drawings are sometimes humorous, sometimes tranquil and sometimes disturbing...but always thought provoking.
Jule Rotenberg began her artistic career in modern dance, earning a dance degree from Southern
Methodist University. She translates her intimate knowledge of dance and the human figure into her portfolio of bronzes.
Jule Rotenberg concentrates on the female form for its aesthetic, convenience and familiarity. She recently introduced a new Birdman" series that will be featured at the exhibit. The Birdman" series captures the strength, beauty and intrigue of the male form. My goal is to imbue the cold solidity of the metal with human spirit or life energy. To me, movement captures this life energy and is my inspiration," says Rotenberg.
