“BEYOND the INNER SPHERE”
Open from March 5th. 2011 and running through March 31st. 2011, ADC Contemporary Art Gallery at
Factory Place Arts Complex in The Arts District is pleased to present “BEYOND the INNER SPHERE” a two man exhibit
Pablo Castaneda from Mexico and Steve Kim originally from Korea.
The exhibition includes a collection of artworks from both artists latest body of work.
These two artists work within their inner sphere and play with some imaginary planes that work to connect the viewer with
the spaces between spheres.
Steve's paintings are seemingly incomplete and in most of cases, these canvases acting as planes, are playing the role of an
inner connection between the dualistic planes of material and shadow.
Castañeda's works translate these intimate planes as he experiences them: a dynamism within the static and still. They
become open doors into which the viewer may contemplate scenes from the inner sphere….from his inner sphere.
"The Inner Sphere is the center of the Great Beyond, sitting at the hub of creation surrounded by the Astral Plane. It is
composed of the immensely huge, yet finite layers of the Elemental Planes, which surrounded the Material and Shadow
Planes, which are in turn separated by the Ethereal. At the metaphysical center of these sit the dualistic Positive and Negative
Energy Planes”.
PABLO CASTANEDA
Multidisciplinary artist. He has a degree in graphic design and advanced courses in Fine Arts from the State Center of the Arts
in Mexico.
His work has been selected for various publications and magazines in Mexico.
He received first prize for painting at several biennials throughout his country, 11th. Biennial of Fine Arts of the Northwest,
2nd. National Award , Jose A. Monroy in 2007 and 2008 in Guadalajara, among others.
He received the FOECA scholarship for young creators.
He has participated in many group exhibitions nationally and internationally and several solo exhibits within his country.
STEVE KIM
Born in Seoul, Korea, Steve Kim immigrated to The States at young age.
His work has been featured in New American Paintings Pacific and 15th anniversary editions also in Blue Canvas recently.
He has shown in Portland, Berkeley, and throughout Los
Angeles.
Steve Kim paints everyday scenes from his life in an attempt to transform visual experience.
Using photographs of seemingly mundane events, Kim renders them almost unrecognizable by
employing a skewed perspective, leaving large sections of canvas blank and morphing everyday
events into something uncanny and unsettling.
