“Le Petit Jardin” @ LAX Curated by Ginger Van Hook ©2012 We celebrate Los Angeles in Bloom with “Le Petit Jardin @ LAX” curated by Ginger Van Hook or translated from French to “The Little Garden @ LAX”. One will see images of nature, gardens, and abstract versions of nature depicting our relationship with and the intimacy that we share with nature. Often subjects of still life paintings, photographs or renderings, nature plays a pivotal role in our landscape of the Greater Los Angeles basin and “Le Petit Jardin @ LAX” captures this world of green thumbs expanding upon the vitality of our unique paradise. Once a desert, Los Angeles has blossomed and with it, the culture of fine arts has come into full bloom. Artists like Linda Kunik, Founder of “Plant it Forward” and Ann Summa, a Photojournalist for the Los Angeles Times, both elevate the community garden to a higher level with photographic documentation and creative excellence. Watercolorist Gayle Garner Roski depicts the serenity of water lilies and reveals important history by rendering the reflections of a California Mission. Photographers Ginger Van Hook, Jenelle Casarez, Roger Thomas and Ingrid Dietrich reveal our relationship with Oriental Gardens. Artists Michael Verbenec and Anne Cheek La Rose focus on the blooming Los Angeles desert, while Photographers Frank Zgonc, Phil Tarley, Krista Marlene and Ellen Cantor expose the softer side of LA with rose petals, bamboo and the vibrancy of flowers, tulips and orchids. Artists and oil painters Renée Fox, Patricia Meisels, Kuniko Ruch, Kate Davis Caldwell, Terry Arena and Carol Spence use sensual orchids, dancing California Poppies, climbing Rose trellises, seeds, ferns, green lawns, and Lavender Irises to reveal their natural environments. Oil Painters and mixed media artists Karrie Ross, Marlene Yamada, Juna Amano, Laura B. Ferreras, Ofunne Obiamiwe, Marjan Vayghan and Felicity Nove explore the abstract concept of the garden and the flower creating an eloquent magical quality inherent in the diverse landscape of Los Angeles.

A walking art tour of the exhibition "OUT OF THIN AIR" hosted by the curator, Ginger Van Hook. Artist from the LAX Airport Art Community come together to interpret the theme in Terminal One Gate 2. Out of Thin Air Welcome to the City of Angels. Often called the “Creative Capital of the World,” Los Angeles is an assemblage of people, places, and ideas, blending and overlaying influences from across the world. This exhibition, curated by Ginger Van Hook, celebrates eleven contemporary artists who derive inspiration, interpretation, and motivation from living in Los Angeles. Offering original artworks, which seemingly come out of thin air, these artists reflect on their physical and metaphorical surroundings. Kenneth Ober, Luke Van Hook, Holly Tempo, Hung Viet Nguyen, and Michael Giancristiano demonstrate diverse approaches in examining and interpreting the landscape, both in its natural and urban states. From intricate renderings to fields of repetitive patterns, each artist has an individual aesthetic response to the environment. Renée Fox takes a micro view of nature in her artworks. Narrowing her focus to the propagation of a flower, or the power of a single seed, Fox shows an appreciation for minuscule forms of life. Artists Shizuko Greenblatt, Michael Massenburg, Steve Fujimoto, and Mark X Farina mix color, symbols, and pop culture to express energy, sound, and comic book morality. Scott Grieger uses digital technology, art, and design to manipulate and adopt elements such as a splash of paint from a drawing and color from a neon sign on the Las Vegas strip into a formal and balanced composition of color, texture, and form. http://finearttrekkinairportlaxoutofthinair.blogspot.com
