Mark Venaglia - NEW ART
CURRENT WORKS BY MR. VENAGLIA EXPLORING SACRED GEOMETRY
At the base of the California Incline, no more than thirty feet directly west, exist the ruins of a roadside shrine. Without this structure of eroding concrete walls, Richard Diebenkorn’s revolutionary “Ocean Park Series” might not have been birthed. His work is labeled many things, but I find these pivotal paintings to be portals of harnessed gas and atmospheres through which we may enter other dimensions.
