| Event Description |
Impressions of San Diego presents captivating scenes of San Diego from the illimitable coastline to dense urban landscapes that color the city. Southern California artists Robin Hall and Jeff Yeomans will display new paintings of Oceanside inspired by the recent transformation of urban development in the area as well as iconic local scenery from San Diego County. Meet the Artists Robin Hall and Jeff Yeomans on Saturday, June 12 at 2:00 p.m. and hear them discuss the artistic process behind their artwork. The talk is free with museum admission and complimentary for OMA members. Impressions of San Diego will be on view May 25 through July 4, 2010 in the OMA Groves Gallery.
The focus of Robin Halls work is capturing the saturated light of California and the drama it creates on surfaces and architecture; giving more attention to how color and edges are affected by light and its absence. Hall’s paintings have been exhibited in numerous museums and galleries including the Laguna Plein Air Invitational at the Laguna Art Museum in 2009, and Sites of Southern California at the Bowers Museum in 2004.
California contemporary painter Jeff Yeoman paints to document California now, to remember the culture and “fabric” of the region. His work ranges from coastal studies to figurative work and urban landscapes. Yeomans recently had his first one-man exhibition at the San Diego Art Institute and in October 2007 Yeoman completed a commission for the Naval Hospital in Balboa Park, San Diego.
