JOEY REMMERS & NATHAN SPOOR - PARTICLES OF SOLITUDE

Particles of Solitude' is the new body of work from artist Joey Remmers and
Nathan Spoor. It illustrates the curiosity and human feelings of hope, despair,
loneliness and of course, solitude. Employing a bright, yet ominous mixture
of surrealism and symbolism it leaves the viewer to contemplate its meaning.
Images of corpses, weapons of mass destruction, umbrellas and serene
landscapes narrate a dark, disturbing yet beautiful story.

Nathan Spoor spends most of the hours of the day painting in his Los
Angeles studio. No image or canvas is too precious to wipe, repaint, and
even burn on his journey to discovery and expression. In this way, Spoor
makes a personal and transformative connection with each piece that for him
lives on beyond the finished works.

Joey Remmers was born in Orange county in the late 70â€™s but
soon moved to the the wild forests of Crestline, California. He now resides
back in Orange County working as a tattoo artist for â€œOuter Limitsâ€ and
painting on canvas with whatever hours are left in the day.

Amy Sol â€“ Indraâ€™s Wooded Garden â€“ solo art exhibit

CoproNason Gallery presents Amy Solâ€™s first art solo exhibit in Los Angeles
as well as the first L.A. live performance of her musical band â€œDevanagariâ€.
Her Art work represents the â€œwhole of manifestationâ€, reflected. Each painting
is a light amidst the ether's infinite expanse. "I spend a lot of time
daydreaming. Growing up in the desert of Las Vegas forced my imagination
into overdrive. I always had things to occupy me in my own secret imaginary
world. My paintings, I suppose, allow me to go back into my childhood
fantasies."

Within the paintings' subdued colors are nurturing females, exotic animals,
and dreamlike landscapes populated by ethereal plant-life. The residents of
her paintings are found in peaceful reflection as her creations beckon the
busy onlooker a moments pause to absorb the tranquil storybook settings.

KRIS LEWIS - â€œFANTASTISKA AINAVAâ€

Kris Lewis lives and works in New Jersey. He studied Illustration at the
University of the Arts in Philadelphia, where he excelled in figurative painting.
His major influences include Bougereau, the Pre- Raphaelites, Mucha, early
Italian Renaissance painters, and the folklore of his Latvian heritage. Lewisâ€™s
most recent works are of a surrealist quality, replete with historical and
biblical references and psychological undertones. â€œAs I begin a painting the
subject physically, emotionally and spiritually reveals itself to me. Each
brushstroke speaks to the subsequent stroke, carrying out a dialogue,
linking my subject and me as if we were meeting for the first time. I find this
uncertainty exciting and embrace the indecisive nature of my work.â€
