GUEST FEATURED Artist—CARLO CHRISTIANType of Art: FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHYExhibit Beginning: NOVEMBER 1, 2020 Exhibit Ending: NOVEMBER 29, 2020 Location: GALLERY AT MARINA SQUARE, 601 EMBARCADERO, SUITE 10, MORRO BAY, CA 93442 Event Contact Number: 805-772-1068Artist Statement: In Carlo Christian’s own words:“From a young age, I have been in love with the craft and art of photography. I was fortunate to work as a commercial printer in two prestigious photo labs, as well as, an assistant photographer in a high-end fashion studio. Today I work as a chemist and own a small studio and photography business. “My interest in history, both natural and human, informs my choice of photographic subjects. My favorite mentor taught me when outdoors nature tells us about relationships, the cycles of life and matter, organic and inorganic: “just look around and listen.” This lesson still inspires my photographic vision. “I love revisiting deserted buildings, farms, ranches and junk yards over time as they return to nature—the sacred circle. These abandoned places whisper stories of our ancestor’s dreams and lives when we take the time to look and listen. My ambition is to share those impressions.”

FEATURED Artist— ATUL PANDE Type of Art: FINE ART PAINTING Title: “Landscapes Remembered” Exhibit Beginning: OCTOBER 1, 2020 Exhibit Ending: OCTOBER 29, 2020 Location: GALLERY AT MARINA SQUARE, 601 EMBARCADERO, SUITE 10, MORRO BAY, CA 93442 Event Contact Number: 805-772-1068 Artist Statement— In Atul’s own words: “I am a self-taught painter working in water-based media, mainly acrylic. My style is based on the non-objective modern expressionist movement that originated in post-WWII New York. I work in an intuitive manner exploring line, form and color, but without a goal in mind. “My upbringing in colorful India, and my training as a physician and scientist, inspires me to meld colors and shapes on the canvas to create organic forms that spontaneously engage viewers. The finished painting evolves from the layers of paint I add to each piece. Some works may have as many as half a dozen layers that add to the perception of depth. “Though the combination of lines and shapes may be perceived in my art by the viewer as a certain object, this is rarely by design. It is an indication that the viewer has engaged on multiple levels beyond just the immediate visual interest of the piece.”
