LA Artcore is excited to add its first cultural exchange with Taiwan to its growing list of exchange countries including, Thailand, Tokyo, Fukuoka, Seoul, and Naples. Organized between Simon Tsai, Jennie Tsai, Echo Lew, and Fun Year Art Gallery, Taiwan, with LA Artcore.
This 5-artist exhibit follows on the heels of a U.S. artist trip to Taiwan in January as they exhibited and toured. This exhibit features artists whose paintings' formal investigations create an awareness to diverse elements through their many juxtapositions. Underlying each artist's practice looms Taiwan's unique social, cultural, economic, political, environmental and historical context that forms the above artists' perspectives and shapes their questions distinctly. Artcore's International Exchange Program with Taiwan yields an another opportunity to gain a tangible sense of contemporary Taiwanese life at its August 7th opening receptions in both of its spaces. Please note the included schedule of events.

August 17- Sept. 7th, 2016
Opening Reception:
Sunday, Aug. 21st; 3-5 p.m.
Union Center for the Arts
(July 22, Los Angeles, CA) L.A. Artcore is pleased to announce a painting exhibit at Artcore's Little Tokyo space with Joel King and Dominique Chastenet De Géry, two artists whose explorations and experimentations extend painting's possibilities.
Chastenet De Géry's
practice investigates painting's representational optics, finding creation between the artist's source material, observation, and memory. From a tradition of artists sketching on-site and referencing sketches to realize larger works, photography as source material, is a distinct development in painting's trajectory, marking an evolution of tools at a painter's disposal. Inherently, the final paintings are a mediation of photography's heightened artifice. The artist's landscapes furthermore engender relationships between nature and Western culture, whether articulated from photographing underwater scenes of the sea floor or in seascapes punctuated by docks, city skylines, or city waterfronts.
Joel King's
investigation is rooted in the distillation of the medium's underlying physical structure. King's investigation uses painting's materiality and paint's physical and chromatic properties in a layering process that involves numerous applications of paint whose resulting buildup reveals boundless expressive possibilities. King's process is characterized by succeeding layers of paint being informed by the color, thickness, and application of what came before. Each layer represents a slice of intuiting and articulating life in a larger continuum.
