Art Opening: Shadow Medicine and Unfinished Business. James Paul Lambert and Rebecca Traver.

Large and small scale graphic-dynamic mixed media, paintings and collage created by Rebecca Traver and James Paul Lambert.

James Paul Lambert: Lambert’s work represents a eclectic blend of movement, color, technology, design and experimentation. A few of the artist’s creative influences include 1960’s fashion and car culture, Futurism, Chicago architecture, 80’s street art and Southern California Modernism. Conflict continues to be a common characteristic in his work today, surface vs. substance, faith vs. fear, man vs. machine and good vs. evil. These results not only challenge and engage the viewer, but allow Lambert to process his point of view, as well as share his experience.

Rebecca Traver: Creative self-expression is a function of the transformational process rearranging patterns from one form to another, exploring how an alteration in position can reveal relational insights previously unrealized. The printed page is her artistic passion and her work as a collage artist finds source materials in magazines, newspapers, books, and the extraordinarily ordinary ephemera of everyday life.
