This exhibition is a comprehensive look at his impressive career from the 1920’s to the ‘80s with over forty works of art, including watercolors, oils, etchings, lithographs and drawings. A preview reception introduces the exhibition on Saturday, September 13th from 5:00- 7:00 p.m. OMA’s receptions are known for their party atmosphere complete with wine and scrumptious hors d’oeuvres prepared by OMA’s own Culinary Arts Council. Admission to the reception is $8. Members of the museum enjoy complimentary admission as a benefit of membership. The exhibition closes January 4, 2009. Sheets began painting during the era of American Scene painting, a style of art important to Americans because it focused on the United States and was a reaction against European art. In the early 1930s Sheets helped define a movement known as Southern California Regionalism that depicted rural scenes near his home in Claremont, California. He portrayed the simplicity of life embedded in rural America with a feeling of optimism. Sheets made important advances with his inventive watercolors that rivaled oils in their luminosity and rich color quality. He was an inveterate traveler and never forgot his sketchbook during trips to over 50 countries, making sure to capture the beauty of countries like India, Mexico, Yugoslavia and Mali. Not only did Sheets play a major role in bringing the art of California to the national arena, he was a prominent teacher at Chouinard Art Institute, Scripps College, Claremont Graduate School and Otis Art Institute. He made a lasting impact with the expansive exhibition program he directed at the Los Angeles County Fair that introduced millions of Californians to the finest American, European, and Asian arts and crafts. Sheets’ artwork can be found in over 46 museums including the Smithsonian, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, among others. OMA is proud to announce the publication of “Damngorgeous,” a loving memoir by Carolyn Sheets Owen-Towle that complements the exhibition and affords readers personal insight into her father’s life. Carolyn will share stories of life growing up with her talented and charismatic father during an entertaining and informal walk through the galleries on Thursday, October 2nd from 7-9 p.m. The event is free for OMA members as a benefit of membership and $5 for nonmembers. “Damngorgeous” received major funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and will be available in the OMA Museum Store for $27. The Vibrant Edge: Paintings of Karl Benjamin from the 1960s, ‘70s and ‘80s July 19 – October 19, 2008 Oceanside Museum of Art presents the radiant work of Karl Benjamin in the upcoming exhibition The Vibrant Edge: Paintings of Karl Benjamin from the 1960s, ‘70s and ‘80s, which opens with a preview reception Saturday July 19th from 5:00–7:00 pm. The exhibition is on view through October 19, 2008. The Vibrant Edge illustrates how this West coast painting icon became known as one of the founding fathers of Hard Edge. “Color is the subject matter of painting” according to Benjamin, whose oeuvre spans over a half-century. Since the early 1950s, Benjamin has been filling canvases with carefully orchestrated color that vibrates in geometric shapes with clean, crisp edges. He was one of four artists featured in the landmark 1959 exhibition “Four Abstract Classicists,” along with Lorser Feitelson, John McLaughlin, and Frederick Hammersley. Benjamin was twice awarded with the National Endowment for the Arts Grant in Visual Arts and his work is in the collections of the Whitney Museum of Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Seattle Museum of Art, among others. He is professor emeritus at Pomona College and Claremont Graduate School where he taught painting for many years. Los Angles art critic David Pagel will present a slide lecture on the art of Karl Benjamin at the museum on August 21st from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. Pagel is chair of the art department at Claremont Graduate University. Admission to the slide lecture is $5 and is complimentary for OMA members. Ancient Marks: The Sacred Origins of Tattoos and Body Marking April 27 – August 24, 2008 Documentary photographer Chris Rainier has traveled the world depicting the rituals and traditions of cultures for publications such as Time, Life, and National Geographic. During a seven year period of travel and exploration his lens captured the origins of tattooing and body-altering art that are portrayed in the exhibition Ancient Marks: The Sacred Origins of Tattoos and Body Marking, beginning April 27th at Oceanside Museum of Art. The exhibition features 31 elegant black and white photographs that reflect humanity’s efforts to forge identity, beauty, storytelling, and sacred beliefs. Rainier’s images span from the savannahs of Africa to the barrios of Los Angeles connecting the indigenous forms of tattooing, scarification, piercing, and other forms of body-altering art. The exhibit speaks to all ages, ethnicities and social levels. One of the artist’s captions reads, “In the frenetic, ever-shifting landscapes of urban zones, tattoos offer permanence, an anchor of distinction, and a fervent emblem countering loss of identity in modern culture.” Tattoos and body-altering art satisfy the need for ornamentation in our modern culture – be it for a celebrity, a gang member or a suburban housewife. Chris Rainier is considered one of the world’s leading documentary photographers and is a contributing editor for National Geographic. He has been voted one of the 100 most important people working in photography today by American Photo Magazine. He trained in classical darkroom methods while working as a photographic assistant to Ansel Adams in the early 1980s. Rainier has released three books, including, Ancient Marks, which corresponds with the exhibition. The book will be available for sale in the OMA Museum Store. OMA members free.

Haase Wojtyla: A Coincidence of Paintings August 27 –- October 15, 2006 The first solo museum exhibition in San Diego County to feature the work of W. Haase Wojtyla.  Born in Chicago in 1933, Wojtyla has lived in San Diego since 1973.  While his art studies began at the Art Institute of Chicago, it is while living in Southern California that Wojtyla developed his mature artistic style.  As many writers have suggested, Wojtyla's style has much in common with the work of British artist Francis Bacon (1909-1992).  Their abstracted forms appear born of the same experience, and their paintings share a sense of tension that becomes the catalyst for the viewer's  response.  Three of Wojtyla's most important series of paintings from the past thirty years, Nudes in the Shower, Crime Scenes, and Stalkers, share a similar response and form the foundation for this retrospective exhibition.  While San Diego is familiar with Wojtyla's work, it has been almost ten years since a large-scale exhibition has been presented in the region.  The exhibition includes work from the 1950s and 1970s as well as recent work that has never been shown. SAN DIEGO DESIGN: New Work from Allied Craftsmen June 18- August 6, 2006 Allied Craftsmen of San Diego has remained a premier organization for talented San Diego artists for over 50 years.

Marcela Villaseñor’s work uses digital and traditional photographic and print media to focus on ancient Mexican culture and its intersection with the identities of modern-day Mexicans in both Mexico and the United States. ART OF THE WPA ERA FROM COLLECTORS OF THE SAN DIEGO REGION January 28, 2006 - March 19, 2006 Artwork created during the WPA era mirrored a period in American history when the country was attempting to recover from hard times.

CONVERGENCE was a celebration among old and new friends that reflects the common thread that connects them all to the Tasmanian experience The Watercolors of James Hubbell February 5 through March 26, 2005 The watercolors in the exhibition were saved from the Cedar Fires that all but destroyed Hubbell’s home, studio, and extensive compound in October of 2003. They are intimate thoughts and spontaneous gestures - some done over the years and others in reflection of the catastrophic conflagration that presented Hubbell with unforeseen changes effecting his life and work.

Artists James Aitchison, Michael C. Gross, and Burton Tysinger will be the focus of this exhibition that is bold, bright and full of visual drama. Chouinard Art Institute alumnus James Aitchison is a figurative painter who has exhibited throughout the world. His lyrical paintings are imbued with symbolism from mythology, literature and his extensive travels. Aitchison says that making paintings is an intensely interesting way of finding out what the imagination might look like. Michael C. Gross is best known as an art director and producer of films like Ghostbusters and Twins, but he is also a celebrated pastel painter with themes that reflect his Hollywood experiences and also his life in Africa, a body of work that he likes to describe as “spiritual polar opposites.” Designer Burton Tysinger uses painted wooden line segments to create sculptures that become a labryrinth of color and form. His work can be intimate and personal in scale or monumental and expansive. Tysinger says it is the “gesture” of things, thoughts and events that serve as a departure point of a piece.

The artist, Jean Dubuffet coined the term “assemblage” in 1953 to describe any three-dimensional collage composed of found objects. Curators Debby and Larry Kline use the term in a contemporary context, one that extends the format to include room-sized installations which viewers may enter. The exhibition features the work of artists Poupee’ Boccaccio, Irma Sofia Poeter, and James Watts. Each artist creates art imbued with strongly personal histories by combining personal and found objects into artist-made objects. These disparate elements are assembled to offer fresh meanings for viewers.
