Description
Artist Loren Means hand paints super 8 film stock, enlarging individual segments to create stand-alone works: "My images arose from my attempt to make motion pictures from a fine art perspective. I began painting on the surface of 8mm and Super8 film. I was fascinated by the fact that a minuscule brushstroke could expand into a monumental shape when projected on a screen. Within these brushstrokes the images organize themselves as a result of catalytic interactions between acrylic, oil- and water-based paints and bleaching agents such as acetone as well as remnants of the original film emulsion. The end results are excerpts from a continuum of images."For the closing reception, Loren will show several of his films and sing jazz with a trio of Susan Crosman, piano, Adam Gay, bass, and Matthew MacGillivray, drums. Loren has sung at Bliss Bar and Savanna Jazz in San Francisco, the Jazz School and Anna's Jazz Island in Berkeley, and Caffe DiVino and Mayflower Pub in Marin County.
