  • Selections From a Mindful Practice
    Sunday, June 29, 3-6 pm
    Los Angeles, CA

    Amparo Jelsma will be featuring for just one day, selections of her most recent and favorite past works. These paintings are comprised of acrylic washes on raw canvas, sometimes combined with machine sewing or hand embroidery. Also included in her solo show are a few works on paper and mixed media pieces. Together these quiet, almost minimalist, abstract artworks reflect her preoccupation with light vs. dark and the infinite inner & outer cosmos.

    Show will be held at a private art studio, please send a message for more details.

  • Swerve
    Saturday, February 11, 2012 from 3-7pm
    Swerve: A group show curated by Sophia Allison of ShoeboxLA
    Held at:
    Kabab Way
    919 S. Glendale Ave.
    Glendale, CA 91205

    Swerve: Professional wrestling terminology that describes an unexpected action or event that takes the audience by surprise.

    ShoeboxLA is pleased to present its first group show, Swerve, curated by gallery co-founder Sophia Allison. Artists Amparo Jelsma, Melissa Manfull, Julio Panisello, Carl Smith, and Jaime Ursic primarily work in the two-dimensional realm (painting, drawing, printmaking); for this exhibition, however, each artist was asked to create a work of sculpture. Beyond size restrictions, no other instructions or requirements were provided. While it is not unusual for artists to work in both painting and sculpture simultaneously, it can be a challenge to move fluidly between these mediums. The resulting work may or may not be a translation of the artists’ primary practice but it will be exciting to view the results. Join us for this special event.

    ShoeboxLA gives Los Angeles artists an opportunity to do one-day, site-specific exhibitions outside the traditional gallery setting. Founders Sophia Allison and Paul W. Evans provide an intimate space that challenges artists' and viewers' expectations of size and scale. Locations change for each show but the space remains the same.
