Bert Green Fine Art is pleased to present solo shows by LA based husband and wife artists Jeff Gillette and Laurie Hassold.

Jeff Gillette’s Art History Shacks explore a post-apocalyptic, worst case future scenario where some of contemporary western culture’s most important artists’ works have degenerated into the trash in a landfill and the architectural building materials of a typical third-world shanty. Accompanying the paintings are a series of unique “iLandfill” prints showcasing popular culture’s most iconic cartoon characters in an endless e-waste landfill.

Laurie Hassold derives inspiration from the awe-inspiring forces of nature: avalanches, earthquakes and geologic formations looming large at a scale that is clearly not human. Her sculptures examine a possible post-human evolution assembled from fossilized remains and the detritus of our disposable culture.

All gallery events are free and open to the public. Additional information found at the gallery website at http://bgfa.us. Please forward to any interested parties.
