Sean Cheetham, Shizu Saldamando, Marci Washington, Joshua Petker, Siuan McGahan, David Glynn, Todd Becraft, Paige Wery.

Bamboo Lane / Revisited is pleased to announce this compelling exhibit of portraits by 8 Los Angeles based artists. The conception of this exhibit has been unfolding over the last year, prompted by much discussion amongst critics & art patrons alike, regarding the constant debate of a perceived lack of skill in much art execution versus the seemingly unskilled execution of conceptual art, questioning the validity of each in exhibition worthiness. In addition, the point of artists' worthiness based on resume versus skill is a constant, open to further debate.

Specifically included in the exhibit is an assortment of manner - from classical to naïve, & of broad background - from self-taught to those who have received their Masters of Fine Arts Degree. The artists have a driving connection with the people around them who inspire them as painters & are many times the subjects of their work. This human connection may be proposed advantage in favor of work by those who paint people & those who do not.

Revisited is a fabulous gallery, that is an adventure to get to, but a real treat to find. From the Silverlake Arts Collective webpage: "[Revisited] is quickly gaining recognition as an exciting venue to view innovative work by Los Angeles artists. Located in a 9-story industrial building shared by seamstress shops - people love the New York feel of the Gold Line passing by the 3rd floor window & the juxtaposition of the path to the gallery revealing this gem with white walls."

Siuan's work is part of the group show "On Arrival" that "showcases artworks in all media produced by immigrant artists in their response to New Zealand - past, present or future. The theme if any, is that migrating artists bring a unique perspective and knowledge to this country and that has always had an impact on the art history of New Zealand."

April 2003

Siuan showed "H.E." with the Los Angeles group Cannibal Flower. Unfortunately, I won't be able to be there because I will be in Wellington, New Zealand. But, they are definately worth checking out, if you can get to one of their monthly shows.

After 5 years working full-time at JPL and part-time painting, Siuan leaves to paint full-time and freelance part-time. She currently divides her time between Los Angeles and Wellington, New Zealand.
