Laguna Art Museum

Fifty of the finest plein air painters nationwide have been

selected to participate in The 7th Annual Laguna Beach Plein Air

Painting Invitational, July 10 through July 17 with a gala dinner and

collectors preview at Laguna Art Museum on July 16. The annual event

is hosted by Laguna Art Museum and The Laguna Plein Air Painters

Association.

“Laguna’s Hidden Treasures: Art from Private Collections,” through

July 10; “Paul Paiement Hybrids 1.0 -- 3.5,” through July 3; and

“Surf Culture Redux” through Oct. 5.

“Paul Paiement: Hybrids 1.0 -- 3.5,” is a five-year survey of the

Los Angeles-based painter. Hybrids is an ongoing series of watercolor

and egg tempera paintings based on psychological theories of visual

perception, with the artist acting as a painter, scientist and

entomologist.

“Laguna’s Hidden Treasures: Art from Private Collections” focuses

on collectors in Laguna Beach and the vicinity. Works range from the

early 20th century to the early 21st century. Profiles of the

collectors, their collections and the selected artwork will accompany

the selections.

“Surf Culture Redux” is a reconfiguration of the iconic works from

the museum’s most well-attended show in its history, “Surf Culture --

The Art History of Surfing.” Past, present and future links between

surfing and art are explored through works of art by surfers and

artists influenced by surfing.
