I was lucky enough to be chosen as one of the UCLA students to show work at the gorgeous Hammer Museum yesterday in a student show titled “It’s Been Done Before but Not by Me.”  It was a great show with live performances, videos, workshops and art. 

Body Image Art Exhibit: Curated by Kendra Knudsen

Greetings friends, teachers, and art enthusiasts!

Announcing the Grand Opening of the legendary Kendra Knudsen’s debut into the world of art curation! 

I am very pleased to showcase the work of some of UCLA’s best undergraduate artists, including Alex Johnson, Angel Trinidad and Sam Vingo. I will be showing several of my own art pieces as well.

The opening night is Monday, March 1st at 5:00 pm at Northern Lights. The exhibit will last until Friday at 12:00 pm. I would love to see all of you there on opening night as it is the only opportunity to speak to the artists and myself about the exhibit.

Below is a brief introduction to each artist. See you Monday night!

Alex Johnson is a freshman in the School of Arts and Architecture at UCLA. He’s a So-Cal native from the San Fernando Valley and finds inspiration for his artwork in the California sunshine. His brilliant, complex use of colors commands the medium and his bold brushstrokes amplify the emotive and tactile quality of his work. 

It is said that passion in art cannot be hidden, and Angel Trinidad’s work is no exception. Her unique compositional perspective and experimentation with color relationships draw her audience into her paintings. Angel, in her second year, is a new addition to the Art Department and is quickly establishing herself as a deeply conscientious and thought provoking artist.

Sam Vingo is a second year Art Major. Although she studied under Noah Buchanan, a classical painter in San Francisco, she is able to adapt classical techniques to her own unconventional style and subject matter. It is her mastery of aesthetics and understanding of the mind behind her subjects that truly makes her a great artist. Sam’s paintings are visceral, honest works that grip the viewer.
