LCP News:
In addition to the upcoming show for First Friday at designHaus Denver, the Niche Promoter upstairs at Wazee Union has arranged for another Second Saturday show, so we will be presenting Encore – works by Corrina Espionsa at Wazee Union on March 10th, 2012.
Last week was the first of its kind, and I’d like to sincerely thank the Westword and Tiffany Fitzgerald for covering our Chalk Pastel Drawing class at Xcentricity Gallery. The next class takes place March 24 and 31, 6 p.m. – 9 p.m. at Xcentricity Gallery, 4020 Tennyson Street. The fee for both nights is $125 and includes all materials. For more information contact Sophia Rose at Xcentricity Gallery on Facebook. You can read the article at Westword.com.
In the Studio:
The concept for my latest piece has been brewing for a long time now, and initially appeared in Hybrid Zoetic– with it’s Little Crazy People houses hung in the trees. How people live, their odd habits, behaviors and the idiosyncrasies that rule daily life fascinate me, and so I’ve decided to capture some of my favorite stereo-types in a darkly humorous piece called Apt. #J-45. I’ve renovated a bathroom medicine cabinet into an odd little apartment building which reveals 9 back rooms and a crawlspace basement, including tell tale details that narrate the lives of the people who live there.

Apt.#J-45 in the making
The final product will include tiny details down to the wallpaper, furniture and of course the people themselves frozen in a moment of time and juxtaposed against the least likely neighbor in the building. It will be hilariously funny as well as extremely creepy, and you’ll be able to get a first hand look at it, and several other new works on First Friday March 2nd from 6-11 P.M., at designHaus Denver (3939 Williams)!
Until Next week,
Aways a friend in Art,
Corrina Espinosa
