If you are in the vicinity of Southern California, try to stop by for friend Marshall Roemen's show at Biola University. The opening reception is on Tuesday, October 25th from 7-9pm. The exhibition will occupy Biola Gallery's two adjoining spaces, featuring small "perishable" sculptures, large-scale paintings, and graphite drawings. It will also include a re-configured installation of "Oratorio at the End of A Black Rainbow", a large pseudo-tapestry painting recently installed at LAX International Airport.
From Marshall: Nepheshland draws together many ideas within my work from the
past several years. For me it refers to a place neither real nor
imagined, paralleling my day-to-day experiences in Los Angeles with an
ever-present, distant realm partly illuminated by the Hebrew concept of
"nephesh". In the creation story from Genesis, it is said that "God
formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the
breath of life; and man became a living nephesh". More than
one's soul or state of being, the term refers collectively to living,
breathing creatures and the seat of their appetites and essential
desires.
