SUMMARY:Afternoon with the Artists: Jeffrey Becom and Lucas Blok
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the galleries for an inspiring afternoon with artists Jeffrey Becom and Lucas Blok as they share their insights into The Persistence of Color II. Through their vibrant and distinctive works\, the artists will explore the significance of color as a central force in art and life\, reflecting on their creative journeys and the personal stories that have shaped their practice. Advance purchase is required. Seating is limited\, so we recommend reserving your tickets early. $5 MMA Members\, Students\, Military\, Under 18\, and SNAP Participants with EBT $20 General Admission. Includes an admission pass to MMA – Pacific Street. About the Artists Jeffrey Becom is a multidisciplinary artist with a background in architecture. As a writer\, designer\, visual anthropologist\, photographer\, and painter for over 40 years\, Becom’s artistic sensibilities have stood squarely in the colorist realm. With his partner\, Sally Aberg\, he has authored two award-winning photography books\, Mediterranean Color and Maya Color: The Painted Villages of Mesoamerica. He is the subject of a PBS/BBC documentary entitled For the Colors\, A Journey Through Italy. His artwork has been featured in over 100 solo and group exhibitions. Becom’s work is held in private and public collections worldwide. Since 1990\, Becom’s photographs have been represented locally by the Weston Gallery in Carmel. His paintings are represented exclusively by the historic Carmel Art Association where he currently serves as President of the Board of Directors. Lucas Blok’s artwork is a dance with color. Surrendering to the rhythm and flow of his paintings invites a participatory experience. His paintings allow us to both find and lose ourselves in the haze of an unrelenting\, pulsating color. With an extensive body of work\, Blok’s paintings are in the collections of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco\, Crocker Museum of Art in Sacramento\, Triton Museum of Art in Santa Clara\, Monterey Museum of Art\, Museum of Design\, Art and Architecture in Culver City\, Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula\, and St. Francis Hospital\, San Francisco.
