Holiday Extravaganza
Three Exhibitions....Opening Reception

__________________________________________________________________

         
   
      In previous years, our December show has always carried a religious
         theme.  Although those shows are visually beautiful and well attended,
         we decided after much consideration....to change our theme to fashion.

         Since our gallery is an outgrowth of our retail boutique,
'The Art of   
           Fash
ion'
....
seemed appropriate and long overdue as a subject for a show.  

         The show will include....paintings, drawings, photography, illustration and
         assemblage. 

         Although not limited to, this show's intent....is to show that art and
         artwork can be inspired by, and be an inspiration for, fashion throughout
         the ages. Much of today's fashions....from urban-street to runway-couture,
         are quite often reflected in many artists work. 

           Resident Artists:
         George Yepes, Yolanda Gonzalez, Emilia Garcia, Ricardo Ortega, Maria Kane,
         CiCi Segura Gonzalez, Julie Zarate


           Invited Artists:
         Miguel Angel Reyes, Hector Silva, Robert Palacios, Jose Lozano, Steve Leal,
         Aunia Kahn, Heidi Alamanda, Cate Rangel, Rafael Delgado Jr., Alex Rodriguez,
         Antonio Villarreal, Raul Pizarro, Cecilia Garcia

        'New Works ..
Steve Leal'....Steve came to our gallery earlier this year,
         and quickly has become a favorite of our collectors and his peers at
         ChimMaya. 
      
         Much of his work blends Art Deco / Art Nouveau / High Fashion and
         a fresh approach to incorporating iconic Latino imagery into his artwork.


                                       


         Steve Leal was born in Inglewood, CA 1962.  Self taught, he has been
         creating artwork for as long as he can remember.  At 20yrs he had his first
         solo exhibition at Self Help Graphics, and soon was picked up by a major
         publishing company at 21yrs.  Steve quickly gained popularity and published
         more than a dozen fine art 'Limited Editions'

         Throughout the 80's-90's.....Steve continued to find success as an artist.
         During the same period, Steve was asked to illustrate more than ninety
         paintings for presenters and artists for the American Music Awards for two 
         consecutive years.  With the acclaim that he received from the AMA Awards,
         Steve was soon commissioned to do the Cecil B. DeMille Award for the
         Golden Globes Lauren Bacall was the first year's recipient and
         Robert Redford the second year.

         In the mid 90's, Steve took a break and ventured into other commercial
         venues.  As a long time resident of the San Luis Obispo area, Steve has
         decided to return to Los Angeles, where his career and inspiration began
         for this exhibition of his artwork. 
                                                  

           Steve's artwork is a perfect compliment to our theme of fashion in
         December.  We are p
leased that Steve accepted our invitation to create
         an exhibition of 'New' work for ChimMaya.  Steve will be part of our
         fashion
exhibition in the Main Gallery and his featured exhibition in our
         West Gallery.

(North Gallery Exhibition)
      

        '12x12'....In our continuing effort to bring new concepts for exhibitions
         to our gallery, ChimMaya commissioned 12x12 canvas to be made for
         this special show.  Each artist was invited to create 'NEW' artwork of their
         choosing. 
     
           This open themed exhibition, will enable our gallery to bring affordable
         artwork to our collectors....perfect for Holiday gift giving.


                                            
                                           
             
                         Original Artwork .... $300 - $500  
   

         With our continued relationship with our network of artists, we are pleased
         that these artists....have agreed to retail their artwork at 'ONE TIME ONLY'
         holiday prices.
