ARTISTS’ GALLERY TALK

To Live a Life Beneath, oil on Belgian linen, 48″ x 36,” by Alexandra Manukyan, 2018.

Adonna Khare & Alexandra Manukyan

Thursday, April 25 6pm

$5 general/members free reservations appreciated

TRAC2019 attendees free with conference badge

Join two outstanding artists in the current The Imaginary exhibit for a rare chance to learn directly from the sources about their stunning art, context, processes, and techniques. Adonna Khare, a winner the world’s largest art competition ArtPrize, focuses on carbon pencil drawings and the environment. Her art has been featured in the Los Angeles Times, NPR, and Juxtapoz Magazine. Alexandra Manukyan studied art and art education in Armenia and has a BFA in graphic design from UCLA. Her extensive career in fashion and entertain laid further ground work for her fine art career creating traditionally rich, yet surreal figurative paintings suggestive of the perilous consequence of environmental destruction. Her works are widely exhibited and collected.

The Imaginary and its Gallery Talk are presented in partnership with TRAC2019-The Representational Art Conference- a California Lutheran University Arts Initiative Event.
