2010-07-13 until 2010-08-23
Salon Xia
Pasadena, CA,
USA United States of America
The "Ione Citrin Collection of Visual Epiphanies", an exhibition by Ione Citrin will be showing at Salon Xia July 13, 2010 to August 23rd, 2010. Los Angeles-based artist Ione Citrin spent many years of her life in front of the cameras for Hollywood Westerns, TV commercials and a
prime-time ABC morning show The Prize Movie with Ione from 1967 to 1975. Based in Chicago, Ione was the kooky presenter of a mix of comedy, variety, game-show, fitness and phone call-in, spliced between heavily edited versions
of old movies – often dressed in appropriate costumes, from Tarzan's Jane to surfer girl. Ione Citrin has been a Premiere Portfolio since 2005.

Anyone who visits her exhibition may be surprised to find that a serious contemporary artist has arisen, phoenix-like, from her entertainment career.
A restless and searching artist, Ione explores as many different styles and
mediums as she can. Not content to repeat herself, or settle into a personal
practice, she uses a lifetime of travel and experience as an endless source of
inspiration. "I have constant visions and ideas for projects that are never
ending. If I live to be 300 years old, I'll never complete my 'do' list".
Ione exhibits in galleries throughout the country, and has won many awards for
her work. Does she see any parallels between her artistic career and her
entertainment persona?
"My artistic career is definitely a part of myself, as was my performing
career. It was the fickle finger of fate which directed me to perform first,
but my instincts are the same for both expressions. If I could visualize the
script, I could do the character. Now I visualize the whole scene and am able
to produce my ideas as paintings and sculptures in many different mediums".
