The Joshua Tree Art Gallery – or JTAG – is opening a new show tonight titled “Angles of Intention: Paintings by David Mackenzie & James O’Keefe. The show is a series of paintings by the artists that explore their unique use of line, color and space to highlight the freedom and flexibility of their chosen medium in a sculptural or engineered form.
David Mackenzie was born in Los Angeles and received both his BFA and MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute, where he studied ceramics, sculpture and painting. His work has been included in the Whitney Biennial and has been shown in Italy, France, Germany, and Russia.
James O’Keefe’s work is about metaphorical space and line traversing that space. He has been painting since 1988 and has a BFA from Otis Art Institute. O’Keefe spent the last 30 years residing on the Oregon Coast and now lives in Joshua Tree, CA.
The show opens tonight at the Joshua Tree Art Gallery in downtown Joshua Tree at 61607 29 Palms Hwy – they are open from 9AM to 3PM.
