SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --
About the exhibition:
While attending an award ceremony last month in New York for her aunt, Nobel Prize Winner Elizabeth Blackburn, Bellrock Media Inc./Yoshimoto Entertainment USA, Inc.'s Artist-in-Residence Aleve Mei Loh, was inspired to create a fundraising event in Los Angeles comprised of visual artists to benefit Japan Earthquake and Tsunami relief. "I was in a room with these incredible people, and it made me wonder what could I do, as an artist, to make a difference," comments Loh. She started reaching out to artists, and the number quickly grew from three to over thirty artists in a matter of days.

"This exhibition is ultimately a portrait of the impulse in art to find meaning and renewal in loss," remarks curator Henry Lien of Glass Garage Gallery. LA based artists, as well as New York contemporaries, will be exhibiting with 100% of the proceeds to benefit the American Red Cross Japan Earthquake Pacific Tsunami fund to aid Japan's relief effort. Loh, a Chinese-Australian artist, was selected as Bellrock Media's Artist-in-Residence in 2010. Loh is most known for her 'crushed' canvas works reminiscent of John Chamberlain and Frank Gehry. Her work plays heavily into the theme of evolution, an idea which she continues to explore.
