About the Exhibition
Opening reception:
Saturday, November 22, 6 - 11pm
Philadelphia, PA— Scents and Form is an exhibit combining the work of world renowned master painter Ron Johnson and the preeminent sculptor Emil Alzamora at James Oliver Gallery (JOG). The show will open Saturday, November 22, 2008. This dazzling gem of an exhibit will be showcased until January 17, 2009.
Scents and Form demonstrates Johnson’s interest in the design of perfume bottles as they reflect color, light, and form of their presentation and their prospects as a merchandising item. He is often sited as one of those gifted painters that truly incorporates the fusion of subject matter, color and technique with sheer natural ability. This will be Ron Johnson’s third show at JOG.
Emil Alzamora was born in Lima, Peru in 1975 and raised in Boca Grande, Florida. Alzamora started his sculpting career in the Hudson Valley working with Polich Art Works in the fall of 1998. Since his departure from P.A.W. in early 2001, he has produced his work full-time and shown regularly throughout the United States and Europe. Alzamora is quoted as saying, "The human form is a constant within my work. I often exaggerate or distort it to reveal an emotional or physical situation, or to tell a story. Limitation and potential are as human as the flesh, yet hardly as tangible. In my works I strive to make visible this interaction." This will be Emil Alzamora’s first time exhibiting at JOG and in Philadelphia.
