E101 New Art Exhibit with Michael Sussna - Mathemagical Images, June 25 - July 30

Numbers are his game, Geometric Yet Organic – Mathemagical Images by Michael Sussna, Ph.D.

Encinitas, the E101 Gallery unfolds the magic of art using fractal imagery, and takes you into an incredible journey into the mind of our July artist, Michael Sussna, Ph.D.

Michael explores undiscovered worlds of exotic scenery filled with exquisite shapes in colorful profusion. This journey into the wilds of magical fractal imagery is made possible by and is a reflection of the beauty of mathematics. These intricate designs serve as snapshots capturing panoramas from the limitless uncharted realms of inner space and often feature spirals speaking spiritually to us of infinity. Michael describes his artwork as “geometric yet organic”.

A self taught artist, his works are unique, and extremely expressive. No wonder, this talented artist born in New Jersey, has a BA in Philosophy from Sonoma State University, an MS in Computer Science from Fairleigh Dickinson University, and a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Cognitive Science from the University of California, San Diego. Michael began developing software in 1973, and creating fractal art in 1985. He is also a published poet and has done original theoretical work in number theory, multi-valued logic, physical chemistry, semantics-based information retrieval, and the statistical analysis of baseball and had the cover article in a prestigious computer graphics journal. Michael’s works are sought after nationwide and housed in private collections.

Many traditional artists have embraced computer graphics to enhance representational depiction. Other digital artisans have employed these new capabilities to create previously un-imagined visual abstractions. The variety of both the potential imagery and the virtual equipment for manipulating it is in effect inexhaustible. Fractal digital imagery is a relatively young yet already rich field. Though different from traditional art, this digital medium also demands a well-developed aesthetic sense. Mastery of an ever-evolving tool-set permits results perfecting form, color, texture, and composition.

Stop by on July 3rd, 5:30 - 8:00 pm during the 1st Thursdays in Encinitas, where the artist will be on hand to answer your questions about the magic of fractal imagery art at the E101 Gallery located at 818 S. Coast Highway 101, Encinitas, CA. All art is for sale and you can contact the artist directly at: msussna1@san.rr.com, 858 453-6558 and visit his website at: http://www.sussna.com.

Artists Sought for Inaugural Art Show at Vista Optimist Club’s Summerfest

Artists Sought for Inaugural Art Show Vista Optimist Club’s Summerfest

The Vista Optimist Club’s Summerfest 2014 taking place on August 9, 2014 from 5:30-10:30 pm at the Club’s 600 Optimist Way facility will add a new dimension to its popular  fundraiser featuring music, food, and drink: an Art Show coordinated by ArtBeat on Main Street.

ArtBeat seeks participation in two categories: 1) juried art vendors, $65 for a 10’X10’ booth; and 2) donations of artwork or services from artists for the silent auction. Full details and an application can be accessed on the ArtBeat homepage or directly at http://artbeatonmainstreet.com/wpcontent/uploads/2014/06/SummerfestprospectusandappREVISED.pdf. The deadline to apply is July 1, 2014.

ArtBeat owner Kait Matthews says the partnership meshes well with her co-op gallery’s intent to give back to the community. “As a Vista business celebrating its second anniversary this month, I want to do my part, not only for art, but for other businesses and for our community’s quality of life. The Optimist Club of Vista brings community, culture and art together, so this event is a perfect fit.”  Art vendors are sure to attract the attention of the more than 750 guests expected to attend the art show, which will be attractively laid out in a 4,000-square-foot space. Optimist volunteers will help unload/load artwork. Tables, tablecloths and easels are provided.

In addition to the on-site exposure to themselves and their work, artists will enjoy substantial publicity. They will be highlighted in the event catalogue and on diverse promotional platforms, including social media.  As an extra bonus, Matthews says, “The works of participating Summerfest artists will be displayed at a special ArtBeat reception and month-long exhibit in 2015.”

She believes, “With 15% of each sale benefiting the Vista Optimists, the Summerfest Art Show gives artists an opportunity to showcase and sell their work while furthering the good works conducted by the upbeat Optimists, whose worldwide mission is to bring out the best in kids.”
