Brian Gill's Photography: Perspectives on the Environment
October 2 –25, 2008
@ SCIART West, 519 South C Street
Hours: 1 pm – 4 pm Thurs – Fri
One of the most pervasive human interests is a fascination with nature. There is an eternal appeal about nature that is tied to the central truths of life itself. Today that natural interest is compounded by nostalgia. Defeated by the cities, sheltered from the elements; divorced from the earth, the urban dweller daydreams of unpolluted streams, unpopulated woods, the freedom of birds and fish. Nature photography is a postcard from homage to an age of innocence. In an era concerned with ecological preservation, pictures of nature are visible reminders of what is worth preserving.
About BRIAN GILL – As a young child he wanted to be an artist but, for his Irish born father, recently immigrated to the United States, that was unacceptable. A gift of a camera at the age of 12 became the outlet for Brian's creativity. For over 20 years he has covered events in Northern Ireland, Southeast Asia, El Salvador and the United States. From 1984 to 1991 Gill photographed the war in El Salvador on the ground while also documenting the struggles in the Catholic Ghettos of Northern Ireland.
Opening Reception: Sunday, September 14, 2008 @ 1 pm – 4 pm

Rich Brimer is a recent graduate of California Lutheran University. The development of these paintings has created a significant collection of some of the faces we see around us every day and even on far off vistas. Other paintings include faces of our planet with different landscapes and seascapes.
About painting, Brimer says, “Ever since I was a kid, I have loved the ocean and I have loved creating images with pencil or brush. I go to the California shoreline as often as possible. These times allow me to reflect on the important things of life that God has given me and the fortune I have in my family. Painting allows me to have a time alone in the power of nature. I paint quickly in order to make the impression of what I am experiencing find its way to the canvas.”
Exhibit runs from October 3 – November 15, 2008. Call ahead for gallery hours.

Lopez Tarso plays a poverty-stricken peasant who goes on a hunger strike,
hoping that someone will take pity on him and give him a turkey dinner.
Tarso's wife Pina Pellecier steals a turkey, and just as Tarso is about to wolf
down his food, he is visited by Death (Enrique Lucerio). The grim reaper
offers to bestow magical powers upon Torres in exchange for part of the
meal. Tarso is gifted with the ability to restore health to sick people,
but he is permitted to utilize this gift only upon persons of Death's
choosing. At first, Tarso is lauded as a hero, but before long he is
being shunned as an instrument of Satan. Tarso last-ditch effort to
redeem himself causes him to renege on his bargain with death. Received a
