Maggy Rozycki Hiltner : Familiar Faces

Mean cat and bunny, 2009

Come and join us for a snowglobe of bits of facts and news, memories,
images present and past, illustrations from children’s books or
instruction manuals, quotes, conversations and song lyrics swirling
randomly. Connections between these things emerge from Maggy Rozycki
Hiltner's hands with a needle and thread.

Jennifer Khoshbin : either it's very deep, or I'm falling rather slowly

April 30, 1973

While paper is often a delicate form associated with a thin surface,
I am finding ways to present its conceptual depth. In addition to
cuttings, I often add fine-line drawings to re-script the story. Since
the encounter with text has now become mostly an onscreen experience, I
am tunneling into vintage hardbound texts to explore the dubious future
of the book itself, trying to imagine what it might be like for books
to undergo a kind of adaptation for survival.

My work expresses the idea of the story, fable, or tale, attempting
to sort out the past and create new beginnings.  How these stories have
affected me and my culture is represented through a combination of book
and animal sculptures, drawings and writings. I am artificially
reimagining things in a handmade wilderness.

June 27 - Fun times at the opening reception, 6-9pm

Aaron Piland and Ayumi Kajikawa Piland are the fantastical magical duo
known as APAK. They are a childlike husband and wife collaborative art
group who live among the fury conifer giants in a little cottage on the

outskirts of Portland, Oregon. They create artwork together as a way
exploring the beauty, mystery, and magic of life as well as expressing
their love for life and each other.

They are known in particular for creating rich and colorful
gouache/acrylic paintings on wood featuring the utopian lives and
adventures of curious little beings living in lush fantastic environments
surrounded by friendly little animals, the landscapes are familiar yet
surreal, hinting at a fantastic narrative while suggesting truths about the
real world at the same time. Please visit them online at www.apakstudio.com or visit their

Take a vacation in the city and join us for the opening reception of Scenic Route at Tinlark Gallery on Saturday, June 27, 6-9pm.

Scenic Route explores that sense of discovery and wonder we
all experience on vacation but somehow lose once we return
to our hectic everyday lives in Los Angeles. Artists Ana Serrano,
Katherine Siy and Sarah Stephens, all graduates of Art Center
School of Design, celebrate the amazing little signifiers of our
citified existence, the unique architecture, old signs, and miraculously
adaptable flora and fauna, that go unnoticed as we lead overly-scheduled,
hyper-stimulating lives.

Brooks Shane Salzwedel: Land Makers
Show Running: Saturday, May 16 - June 20           VIEW OPENING PHOTOS HERE
Opening Reception: Saturday, May 16 6-9pm

With little more than graphite and resin, Salzwedel creates sublime images of nature and industrial development co-existing in a post-apocalyptic world. Building an eerie, ethereal tension between the two, while challenging notions of beauty and destruction, Salzwedel’s materials themselves lend additional depth to his content; the toxic process of layering resin is ultimately overshadowed by the beauty of the trees and plant life contained within.

Scott David Johnson + Kirsten Tradowsky:  BEST OF "Clean Up Your Gravity Index"

Come one come all BEST OF "Clean Up Your Gravity Index" is up and running again.
Due to the success of our solo shows for these two amazing artists, we've decided to extend the show.

Show Runs: Saturday, May 16 - June 20

GALLERY HOURS: Fridays & Saturdays, 12-5 and by appointment.

Tinlark warmly welcomes back Scott David Johnson for his second solo show in the Main Gallery.

Chicago artist Johnson creates oil paintings that are a survey of recognizable objects that bloom in the landscape around us. Separating most of these objects from their surroundings, Johnson allows their contexts to evaporate, letting ambiguity fill the empty spaces. While some of these objects explore the whimsy of once-dominant icons dissolving into the mists of memory, others suggest messes that need to be cleaned up, as lessons are learned from past mistakes. When Johnson turns his eye on these objects, he shares with us his fascination with their intricacies, no matter how obsolete, and their intriguing patterns, no matter how troubling.

"Bomb Squad," 2009, 24" x 26", oil on linen on panel

Also returning for her second solo show in the Project Room is San Francisco's Kirsten Tradowsky.

In her current series of oil paintings, there is a fluctuation between mirage and reality, with monochromatic scuba divers in a field of fireworks, or a gathering of tiny people inside a suitcase.  Tradowsky uses icons that represent order such as groups, clocks and numbers, and intersperses them with elements of interruption and surprise. There is a contrast between the scale of objects and people that induces a tension between one’s internal and external experiences. In a world that is at times monotonous and conformist, these paintings suggest whimsical daydreams that give one a place for reinvention.

Join us for a special holiday celebration on Saturday, December 13th, 6-8:30pm at Tinlark.  We'll have holiday treats and crafts for the kids from 6-7pm. 

We proudly welcome Bryan Ricci for his debut solo show at Tinlark, Video Made The Wilderness Star. Ricci's work synthesizes a traditional medium of artistic expression (oil paint) with a technique that mimics the more modern pixelized images we see everyday on the internet and in other mass media. Ricci photographs landscapes with his digital camera, then, onto the photo, hand-pixelates an animal that fits the scene, either realistically or ironically, creating a specific narrative for each vignette. Ricci received his B.F.A. from Purchase College of Art & Design, SUNY, and has had numerous solo and group shows in Los Angeles. 

Natural Selection marks the return of Portland's Wesley Younie and Ryan Berkley, expanding on their themes of natural versus manmade in fantasy lands of their own making. Younie spent his youth exploring the forests surrounding his Oregon home, sketching the wildlife and developing a deep connection to the unspoiled landscapes. During his studies at Calfornia College of the Arts and the Pacific Northwest College of Art, Younie perfected his whimsical technique that captures the personality of each creature he portrays. When not completing commissions for clients ranging from hotels and restaurants to private collectors, Younie brings his painting talents to the Portland Zoo where he helps create naturalistic habitats for the animals.  

Also from Portland, Ryan Berkley is an illustrator with an enthusiastic following. His portraits of animals wearing fancy dress specific to their personalities have entered hundreds of collections in the U.S. and abroad.  Berkley is a comics inspired gentleman who loves drawing animals and creatures and mustaches and
superheroes.
