Emil Rutenberg’s NOT FADE AWAY...the 4th sequel represents Rutenberg’s perception of the human spirit through the human form in all mediums, whether sculpting, sketching, or painting. Emil Rutenberg is a South African-born artist who settled in Los Angeles in 1983. Renowned Artist and Teach Joe Blaustein remarked, “Emil’s sketches are a powerful and rich blending of skill with intuitive and spontaneous strength. His works exhibit a freshness, a beguiling charge. And are a pleasure to see.” Wendy Tigerman is a mostly retired copywriter, graphic designer, comedy broadcast producer, and creative director in advertising and entertainment. Sans Concept is a solo show of her visual work. “First thought, best thought” guides me, and I celebrate the mundane as spiritual. I plunk down an image, respond to that, and then respond to that until the collage makes me nod and exhale deeply." Tom Wheeler's “Nothing Artificial” A Rebuke of AI, documents surreal objects in the rugged and often remote ‘wilds’ of the western U.S. that act as Tom’s studio: “The unspoiled deserts, mountains, and forests of spectacular wilderness areas, public parklands and in some cases, private tracts, offer a myriad of photo opportunities, while the deep, dark nighttime in these places offer even more: solace, awe, and something akin to a private showing of the majestic natural world that is offered to us.” “TAG presents three superb solo shows by new and returning TAG members. TAG small artworks are immediately available to gift or take home, and don’t miss TAG’s Celebration of 100 Years of Surrealism, a unique juried invitational in the South Gallery, curated by artist Seta Injeyan,” said Mark Bade, Senior Gallerist, The Artists Gallery. “December promises to be a memorable month for TAG’s exhibition history,” Bade said.
