College of the Canyons Art Gallery
26455 Rockwell Canyon Road, Santa Clarita, CA 91355

Reception: Saturday, August 18, 2018 | 4 – 6 pm

Devon Tsuno’s recent abstract paintings, social practice projects, artist books, and outdoor installations focus on the LA watershed, water use, and native vs. non-native vegetation. Influenced by Japanese, 19th century Ukiyo-e woodblock prints and fabric, his vibrant, densely layered works are inspired by the vigorous and dynamic flora competing for space in our urban environment. With California Seedlings, the Art Gallery takes contemporary art outside, using the gallery itself as a canvas. Unlike traditional murals, this one won’t be painted directly on the wall, but will use a graphic film wrap to temporarily transform the building’s face and activate the public space around the Art Gallery.
