Art Adventures: Sylvia Ji

Uploaded by mpetty23 on Jun 12, 2007
Last week I met up with Sylvia Ji to talk about her latest solo show at White Walls Gallery that went on display on June 9th, 2007. Sylvia, an SF Art Academy graduate, recently moved down to LA to take a job as a lingerie designer, but was spending the week leading up to her show at a friends place in the city to put the finishing touches on her 30+ paintings.
I also visited the gallery to see what kind of work goes into the preparation for a new show. Andres Guerrero and Justin Giarla walked me through the process, and boy is it a lot of work. Just the repainting of walls alone is a significant undertaking, not to mention hanging the new show, pricing and dealing with promotion.
The third step in my quest to better understand the gallery art world was to go to the opening and see how it all turned out, and see how the artist felt after months of non-stop painting.

Love Sylvia's work! She has a great style. I love the way she paints hair that seems to have a life of its own and tends to trail off the image while leaving a section of the painting void of anything, also she evokes so much emotion out of the eyes.
