July 11, 2009 – August 22, 2009
Reception for the Artists: Saturday, July 11, 6 – 9 pm
Chinatown, Los Angeles--Sam Lee Gallery is pleased to present Backyard, opening July 11 and closing August 22, 2009. The gallery will host a reception for the artists to coincide with the Chinatown Art Night on Saturday, July 11, from 6 to 9 pm.
Backyard, a summer group show featuring painting, sculpture, drawing, and photography, is a smorgasbord; the artworks depict the “backyard” as a dystopic eden--a open-ended interpretation of this theme that ranges from the whimsical to the serious, and the humorous to the creepy. Participating artists are Justin Allen, Joe Biel, Frick Byers, Margarita Cabrera, Carleton Christy, Rebecca Clark, Brian Cooper, Waylon Dobson, Nathan Hayden, Darren Hostetter, Joshua Levine, Luke Matjas, Pipo Nguyen-duy, Mary O’Malley, Jon Rappleye, Shizu Saldamando, Macha Suzuki, Devon Tsuno, Erica Lee Wheelock and Carrie Yury.
