The works of Roy Buchman and Lawrence Argent seem to have little to do with each other. Buchman's new paintings explore the urban scene of Los Angeles. They are painted on found materials or on sculpted wood and painted in a realistic style. Both interiors and exteriors are painted, giving viewers an extensive sense of Buchman's interests. On the opposite wall Argent's abstract works are elegant collages that juxtapose encaustic and gold leaf.
Argent combines intricate line drawings with empty areas of color.
David Bunn collected all the cards from the downtown library's card catalogue and has been suing them as the basis of his art for the last few years. In this exhibition he presents language poems made from the titles of sequential cards. The poems, often humorous, often deep are all chance occurrences. Also on view are the boxes of cards, stacked floor to ceiling. Isabel Anderson 's abstract paintings of food surprise the viewer as she adds a bit of collage to her painterly surfaces.
