This Sunday, July 31 at 2 PM PST, join COLA 22 Design/Visual Artist #SharonLouiseBarnes (@sharonbarnes4702) to learn more about the artist's practice and inspirations behind her latest work in the ongoing series, "Seed Wind".

Make sure to check out the bold and dynamic painting method of #VanessaMcConnell (@ArtCentersECF ) during the last two weeks of our current solo exhibitions, along with works by #LukasGeronimas and #NevineMahmoud

[LAMAGBarnsdall @LAMAGBarnsdall]

Among the sculptures in the solo exhibition of #LukasGeronimas, the “Signet” series of sculptures invoke philosophical inquiry at a different, smaller scale. They acutely depict recurring forms in the body of work, like puzzle pieces or eyes.

[LAMAGBarnsdall @LAMAGBarnsdall]

Commissioned specifically for LAMAG, #LukasGeronimas (@geronimas53) created a series of new sculptural works that evoke ancient ritualistic and symbolic objects, such as a column, tomb, relics and other mystical looking forms with different meanings.
