Christopher Butler & Pal Kepenyes

The BOA Gallery will be hosting a unique exhibit this August featuring the works of sculptor Pal Kapenyes combined with the paintings of Christopher Butler. California native Christopher Butler’s work combines the mediums of film and painting through digital imaging, an extraordinarily unique process which involves capturing an image on 35mm film, and projecting the negative onto a screen, filtering it with gelled movie lights, rendering incredible results which are captivating, colorful, and haunting. Through his portraits, he explores the relationship with famous, iconic persons in history, alongside the people responsible for their death. Christopher was raised by a family of cinematographers, who taught him to see with the eye of an artist. Over the years, several noted celebrities have requested their own portraits done by Butler, and he continues to perfect his one-of-a-kind technique. Pal Kapenyes is a Mexican Sculptor whose sculptures are touchable, movable, and interactive, as if they were alive! His collection of gorgeous bronze sculptures have been exhibited previously in Los Angeles, and his work has been exhibited in Budapest, Paris, London, Tokyo, Berlin, Canada, as well as other US cities. The city of Acapulco, where he resides, sponsored him to create a contemporary art piece for public display. The exhibit will be on display from August 3rd - August 18th, 2012. Opening reception will be hosted at the BOA Art Gallery on August 3rd, at 7:00PM. Complimentary beverages will be served.
