Artist Reception The Holmes Gallery will kick off its latest exhibition with a reception on Wednesday, February 19, from 7:30 to 10 p.m. for Pasadena born artist John Brosio. Brosio's paintings explore a wide range of subject matter, from quiet landscapes to the fury of tornadoes, as well as the artist's images of people as they enjoy conversations in coffee shops and bars. Brosio graduated from the University of California, Davis where he studied art under Wayne Thiebaud As a student, he interned at George Lucas' Industrial Light & Magic. Portfolio at the ready, he had groomed himself for a career in movie special effects when he realized this was not the direction his talents were taking him. In spite of the difficulty in transferring his special effects training to painting, he has successfully made the transition. Brosio's work has been displayed in a group show at the local Mendenhall Gallery and he has a rotating exhibit at Buster's Coffee House in South Pasadena. He recently had a number of works displayed in a Kansas City show. The Holmes Gallery is in the Holmes Body Shop Corporate Offices (1095 E. Colorado Blvd.) and is open during regular business hours. The Brosio exhibit will be Up through March, followed by a show of multimedia and fine art created by local elementary school students in classes at the Pasadena Arts Council sponsored Children's Center for the Arts. |
