Orange County Center for Contemporary Art
Santa Ana, CA, USA United States of America

Orange County Center for Contemporary Art (OCCCA) will show the work of noted San Francisco Bay Area artist, Gordon Huether, and local artists, Pamela Grau Twena and Dennis Cubbage. OCCCA is located at 117 North Sycamore Street in Santa Ana. The gallery is open from 11-4 Wednesday thru Sunday. The exhibit will run thru November 24th 2002.

Huether’s portion of the exhibit, titled In Nature’s Light will partner salvaged materials with imagery and objects from nature, their appearance manipulated through the use of light, shadow, and water. The series will include installation work ranging from a cactus garden of radiator cores to a suspended forest of neon. Other freestanding sculpture and wall pieces will utilize obscured objects from nature and projected patterns of water and light.

Grau-Twena will be exhibiting paintings from two new series. The first series, Beyond the Veil, explores going deeper into one’s self, away from things (more) comfortable and pleasing to places real and vulnerable. It’s About Power utilizes the Palm Springs windmills, as a metaphor to show man’s mindless dependence on that which we don’t understand.

Cubbage’s paintings use pattern and language as a measurement of his own memory and personal history.
