About this Event
Access Gallery is excited to present two solo exhibitions featuring artists with unique individual styles that converge in subject matter: fantasy and dragons. Join us on Friday, April 19 for our Meet the Artists event featuring an artist talk. This event will take place from 6 - 8 PM at our gallery space at 909 Santa Fe Drive and is free and open to the public.
Artists Angel and Nicole Vanston are long-standing artists with Access Gallery whose distinct artistic practices will be on display from April 5 - May 25 in celebration of the Year of the Dragon.
Crimson Dragon Language features works by Angel who began working with Access Gallery in 2011. Angel primarily works with ink, colored pencil, and marker on paper and the exhibition features eight dragon languages he has created using a unique system of characters and translation. Angel’s sketches and drawings will be on display, as well as elaborate scrolls exhibiting stories that Angel has written and illustrated. The stories are written in Angel’s dragon languages which audiences are invited to interpret using his translation guides!
Dragon and Dinosaur Utopia features works by Nicole Vanston who is one of Access Gallery’s most well-established artists. She began working with the gallery in 2009 and never looked back. Nicole is known for her signature subject matter – dragons, dragon worlds, and dinosaurs – which she depicts through paintings, fiber art, and walking sticks. Nicole takes inspiration from books, movies, life experiences, and her imagination. Her biggest influence is her Nana who was a painter and left her sketchbooks and original pieces of art. Dragon and Dinosaur Utopia will showcase Nicole’s devotion to her subject matter including paintings of dragons and dinosaurs visiting landmarks across the globe.
Access Gallery will offer ASL interpretation at this event and all Third Friday events at the gallery.
