Tomorrow is the big night for the opening reception of Charmaine Olivia's Urban Menagerie at Gallery Six. During the installation process I came to realize how truly gifted this artist really is. Studying oil painting under her grandmother from as early as five years old, Charmaine has evolved to embrace her own unique esthetic. Although she has an established following throughout the US, Germany, Sweden, Norway and Denmark, this will be he first solo exhibition at age 21.
Charmaine uses a combination of loose figurative painting, detailed pen and ink drawings and mixed media collage. Her portraits are beautifully rendered with warm earth tones complimented by bight patterns and colors. Surprisingly she has no professional training in art, and opted out on art school contending the impact it would make on her work.
Please join us for live music, art and friends at the opening of Charmaine Olivia's Urban Menagerie at Gallery Six on Friday, October 16th, 2009 from 7-11pm. This exhibit runs through Friday, November 6th 2009.
We hope to see you at the opening tomorrow night. Please email us at 666gallerysf for inquiries, showings and further information or visit our website at www.gallerysixsf.com. Open by appointment only.
