SUMMARY:CHIMERA: A Group Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:SAN DIEGO, CA - Stealing parts from multiple animals, Chim
 era becomes a one of a kind, mythical and monstrous creature. “CHIME
 RA: A Group Art Exhibition” at Mosaic Wine Bar on Saturday May 4, ex
 hibits works by urban artists who also divide and then merge elements 
 from life revealing original forms in their artwork.\n\nArt has been a
  major part of Mark Richmond's life since he was young. He earned a de
 gree in fine arts and minored in multicultural study, which his art re
 flects. His style, as he puts it, combines \"ancient Japanese tattoo a
 rt, with a modern multicultural approach\". Mark creates uniquely blen
 ded calligraphic lettering for his paintings influenced by graffiti ar
 t and with a combination of computer and hand-made methods. His 25 ft 
 painting is viewed by thousands of people daily at the San Diego Inter
 national Airport. This piece well represents his unique and multicultu
 ral approach to art. The Japanese influenced painting graphically depi
 cts a scene with koi fish and white heron, also made by hand and compu
 ter.\nAnother artist participating in “CHIMERA” is Brian Dombrowsk
 y. Politics and religion are clear influences and subject matter in hi
 s art. Many of his paintings creatively critique and satirize  the st
 ate of our country and in particular, the major political parties, the
  left and the right, Democrats and Republicans. One such painting of h
 is from a few years back, aptly titled \"What's Left\", depicts a melt
 ing American flag in the background with a (Leftist) donkey standing p
 recariously on a too small white star. His creative use of wordplay an
 d strong compositions create one-of-a-kind political and religious sta
 tements that engage the viewer both visually and politically, and in m
 any cases, probably argumentatively. One measure of the greatness of a
  piece of art is if it illicits emotions in the viewer; Brian Dombrows
 ky has certainly succeeded in this degree.\nLook for more creative and
  engaging pieces by Brian Dombrowsky, Mark Richmond and fellow artists
  Rod Mojica, Aaron Moore, Paul Naylor, Kristen Argerake and more, at �
 ��CHIMERA: A Group Art Exhibition.” The opening reception begins at 
 6pm and runs until 11pm on Saturday May 4, at Mosaic Wine Bar. The exh
 ibition will run for a month. Mosaic is located at 3422 30th Street, S
 an Diego. The show is free and open to the public, ages 21+.\n\nFor mo
