Artists Denise Hartley and Christian Gilbert
April 2, 2010 – May 1, 2010
Time: Reception, 6 – 9 PM, April 2, 2010
Ja Nene, 950 Chorro Street, San Luis Obispo, CA
ART AFTER DARK, http://www.sloartscouncil.org/
The artists have captured the essence of light found within our inner and outer nature. Upon entering, the viewer will experience the sights and sounds of water in motion, with the combination of video, and the intricate, photorealism waterscapes, by California and Hawaii artist, Denise Hartley. Her current works include video, oil on canvas, and mixed media on canvas or wood. Her paintings are created from real physical spaces that exist in nature.
She transforms elements from her surroundings, images created from a variety of graphic/photographic/video media, to recreate the reality of time/place. Experiencing the sounds of life in the crash of waves, the roar of a white water river, and the sounds of a brook working its way downward in the cycle of movement back to the ocean, the experience of water is always changing. These intricate waterscapes mirror the existing environment, transitory in nature. Her floral paintings reflect her interest in the healing aspect of nature.
The bright colors of her representational florals reflect the joy of the constant barrage of colors from her Hawaiian home. With a degree in Philosophy, studying Eastern and Asian Religion; Buddhist, Taoist and Hindu art are intertwined in her spiritually emphatic works. D.A. Hartley has a MA in Fine Art, New Media.
Photographer Christian Gilbert’s series of glowing photographs, are experimental nightscapes, portraiture, landscapes and flowers including the use of time-lapse photography. He is an emerging artist, working in photography and video. His photographs are noted for their exploratory use of natural and artificial light.
He does not digitally alter his work, but creates the effects by controlling the light of each scene. His interest is in capturing subtle light in nature. Also, by adding light to change the environment to reveal what is normally unseen, creating otherworldly, and mystical works. Christian Gilbert attended the Academy of Art, San Francisco.
You are invited to participate in this insightful and innovative format, in the reflection upon nature.

“Lake Kaweah,” large format video, 2008.
Photo by Randy Vaughn-Datta
“Lake Kaweah”, is a series of still photographs taken daily at Lake Kaweah. They slowly dissolve into each other, creating a video documentation of the rising and lowering of the waters of the lake. After spending many years of driving around this lake, the cyclical seasons flowed into each other, imprinting the beauty that each season offered, the reflections, the spring wildflowers, snow capped mountains, to the golden hills of fall.
“Lake Kaweah” was featured behind the speakers podium during the presentations at the Land and Arts Symposium, College of the Sequoias, November 7, 2009. The panelists/performers were: Paul Buxman, John Dofflemyer, Rob Hansen, Denise Hartley, Tim Z. Hernandez, Ron Jefferson, Matthew Rangel, Sylvia Ross, John Spivey, Dr. William (Bill) Tweed.
