In her powerful series (2022-present), Elkins weaves a narrative that connects family archives, historical documents, and early Alta California maps, illuminating the stories of land loss, assimilation, and resilience amongst Indigenous, Mexican, and multiracial ancestors in Southern California. As an 8th generation Angeleno, her work reflects a deep introspection into the historical conditions inherent to the soil—all while highlighting original indigenous names for locations and plant life both native and introduced. 

Elkins, an acclaimed visual artist and educator, tackles themes of gender, race, and identity through a lens that examines the influence of systemic structures—from colonization to power dynamics. Her thought-provoking approach oscillates between formal, conceptual, and documentary styles, inviting viewers to engage with her family’s complex history on Tongva/Gabrielino land.

Check Out GIVE A BEAR HUG TO THE THINGS THAT SCARE YOU THER MOST – A New Documentary About Artist Heidi Schwegler

Check out the trailer to a short documentary about the artist HEIDI SCHWEGLER at: https://bit.ly/4g4UO8Y

GIVE A BEAR HUG TO THE THINGS THAT SCARE YOU THER MOST is a documentary about the artist Heidi Schwegler. Faced with a crisis in her art practice, Schwegler leaves for unfamiliar settings, and begins to see her surroundings in new ways.

Heidi Schwegler explores a wide range of materials in the service of her subject matter. Drawn to the peripheral ruin, she deftly incorporates found objects with traditional craft and sculpture media. “When [an object] is no longer contextualized by function and ownership, the discarded thing’s anonymity and ambiguity render it pervious to the imagination,” she says, approaching such things as a source of investigation. “I consider its formal qualities as raw material – but a very particular raw material that is both new and an indicator of past use, past value and past purpose.”

Schwegler’s accolades include an Individual Artist Fellowship from the Oregon Arts Commission, Hallie Ford Fellowship and two MacDowell Colony Fellowships in the Visual Arts. She was artist-in-residence at MacDowell, Pilchuck, VCCA, Yaddo, Anderson Ranch Arts Center, and Bullseye Glass Company, among others. Notable exhibitions of her work include the 2018 Bellevue Art Museum Biennial, Portland2016: A Biennial of Contemporary Art, curated by Michelle Grabner and presented by Disjecta Contemporary Art Center; her 10-year retrospective, Botched Execution, at The Art Gym at Marylhurst University, OR and the Sheldon Museum of Art in Lincoln, NE. Schwegler holds a BFA from the University of Kansas and MFA from the University of Oregon. She lives and works in Yucca Valley, CA where is the founding director of Yucca Valley Material Lab. where is the founding director of Yucca Valley Material Lab.

Her sculptural work is in the permanent collection of the Portland Art Museum, Laguna Art Museum, Schneider Museum of Art, Crocker Museum, The Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation Collection, and the Hallie Ford Museum.

Mark Moore Fine Art presents “Ken Craft: A Never Finished Light” – An Exclusive ARTSY Online Exhibition

🌟✨ Mark Moore Fine Art proudly presents **“A Never Finished Light”** featuring the captivating works of Texas-based artist **Ken Craft**. This exhibit draws inspiration from a chapter in Richard Dawkins’ *The Greatest Show on Earth* and reflects influences from legendary artists such as Courbet, Richter, Herriman, and Guston.

🎨 Ken Craft (b. 1967, New Mexico) is a Dallas-based painter who primarily works with oil and watercolor. His art marries representation with conceptual themes, exploring personal and natural history, evolution, and the universal struggles of life. Craft often infuses his pieces with comic book characters and narrative elements, inviting viewers into a rich storytelling experience.

💬 Ken shares, “These works are loosely inspired by a snippet from Dawkins’ book, illustrating the evolution of species through generations—such as female rabbits. Each generation bears resemblance to its predecessors, yet if you trace back far enough, the lineage diverges dramatically.”

Within my paintings, you’ll find echoes of rabbits amidst clouds, rock formations, and the night sky. They serve as reminders of our interconnectedness over deep time. Each fleeting image prompts us to contemplate our place in the natural world. As we navigate these challenging times, I find solace in exploring natural history and reinforcing our bond with all living beings.”

🌿 Ken Craft’s impressive portfolio includes numerous exhibitions across the country and accolades such as the Top Choice prize at Artspace 111 and a residency at MASS MoCA. He was also featured in New American Painting’s #138, highlighting the Western United States.

Orange County Museum of Art presents Penelope Umbrico: Sunset Portraits from 13,243,857 Sunset Pictures on Flickr 10/8/13, on view now through May 25, 2025

We are excited to announce the following exhibition at the ORANGE COUNTY MUSEUM OF ART is now on view. Penelope Umbrico: Sunset Portraits from 13,243,857 Sunset Pictures on Flickr 10/8/13, on view now through May 25, 2025, in the Yvonne de C Segerstrom Gallery.

Penelope Umbrico (b. 1957, Philadelphia, PA) uses photo-sharing and consumer-to-consumer websites, mail-order catalogues, and image archives as expansive resources to create installations, video, and digital media works. Sifting through images on the internet using search engines for subjects like TV screens, mirrors, sunsets, and the moon, her work explores the production and consumption of images—and individual and collective identities—with attention to the technologies that both shape and are shaped by these forces.

One of Umbrico’s most iconic works, Sunset Portraits from 13,243,857 Sunset Pictures on Flickr 10/8/13 (2013), is a series of appropriated photographs capturing people standing in front of sunsets, sourced from Flickr (once considered one of the largest photo-sharing websites), a project she began in 2010. At that time, camera technology prioritized exposing for the brightness of the sun, often rendering the individuals in the foreground as silhouettes, thereby erasing the subjectivity of the individual.

Installed at the Avenue of the Arts Gallery at OCMA, Umbrico’s Sunset Portraits contemplates the flood of images in contemporary life while offering a meditation on collective experience through a universal theme. In an era that emphasizes individuality and highlights differences, while often finding conflict in those distinctions, the work presents a strikingly tranquil vision. Like the silhouettes in Umbrico’s work, we find ourselves in a state of solitude while simultaneously sharing in the wonder that unites us all.

DIMITRI KOZYREV: Recent Work – Opening May 8th

🌟 **EXCLUSIVE ARTSY ONLINE EXHIBITION**🌟  

**DIMITRI KOZYREV: Recent Work**  

🗓️ May 8 – July 13, 2025  

📍Presented by @MarkMooreGallery 

Dive into the profound artistry of Dimitri Kozyrev in his latest online exhibition, “Recent Work,” where he seeks to understand and manage change through his evocative creations. 🖌️✨ 

VIEW THIS SHOW AT: https://bit.ly/3FSpnRS

Kozyrev’s paintings serve as visual memoirs, capturing fleeting moments and inviting viewers to reflect on the intricate relationship between time and memory. His unique perspective—shaped by his upbringing in St. Petersburg during the remnants of Stalin’s regime—offers a compelling commentary on the evolution of both warfare and art. 

As he poignantly expresses, “Just as the military avant-garde has been ‘lost’ due to changing methods of warfare, so too has the avant-garde in contemporary art.” This body of work pays homage to suppressed movements like Constructivism while illustrating the resilience and healing power of nature. 🌿💫 

Join us on ARTSYand experience how Kozyrev’s artistry not only revisits scarred landscapes but also celebrates transformation and resilience.

Mark Moore Fine Art presents “Allison Schulnik: Rejects, Misfits and their Landscapes – A Career Survey”

Mark Moore Fine Art is excited to unveil its latest online exhibition, “Allison Schulnik: Rejects, Misfits and their Landscapes – A Career Survey“. This exclusive ARTSY event showcases a curated collection of significant pieces spanning the past two decades of Schulnik’s career.

Allison Schulnik draws on historical images, outsider art traditions and holiday snapshots to construct paintings in which diverse subjects like naval battles, skulls, dying flowers, volcanoes, waterfalls and herds of wild horses become the subject for fantasy and imagination. 

View this exhibition now at: https://bit.ly/3Cfqdqt

Schulnik is the daughter of an architect from the Bronx and a plein air painter from British Columbia, both of whom studied at Pratt Institute in the 1960’s. After studying and performing many forms of dance, including a long period of modern dance with Isaac’s, McCaleb & Dancers, she left San Diego for California Institute of the Arts. Combining the movement of dance with painting, Allison chose to study Experimental Animation and received her BFA in 2000. Her paintings have been exhibited internationally at venues including Mark Moore Gallery, Los Angeles, Black Dragon Society, Los Angeles, Bellwether Gallery, New York, Groeflin Maag Galerie, Basel, The Armory Show, New York, Rokeby Gallery, London, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Santa Monica Museum of Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. She has completed two award-winning experimental animated 16mm films that played at many film festivals internationally. Schulnik was just selcted as one of the ONES TO WATCH by ART REVIEW, March 2008 (Issue 20) and was featured in the LA TIMES article that appeared December 2, 2007 on the “45 Painters Under 45 You Should Know” that included both Ali Smith and Allison Schulnik from the Mark Moore Gallery – both artists are featured on the cover of the CALENDAR Section – in which critic Christopher Knight selected both of the artists as part of the impressive and acclaimed core of young artists that “Help Make the L.A. Art Scene”. Allison Schulnik lives and works in Los Angeles.

Schulnik says, “The bulk of my paintings are about love, death and “end of the world” chaos. I see my canvases as a theater stage where a ballet or dance is performed — sometimes choreographed, sometimes free form and spontaneous. The compositions often depict epic scenes — high seas disasters, stampeding horses, fiery eruptions, fantastical dramas and wondrous landscapes, while still attempting to reflect simple, expressive moments amongst creatures, which directly relate to human-like conditions. More recently I have allowed my imagination to revel in its own world — where thickly-sculpted oils, historical fact and blatant fiction collide to form images of tragedy, farce, and raw beauty.”
