Art from the OC Review at Orange Coast College

Art from the OC Review at Orange Coast College

The Orange Coast Review is Orange Coast College’s literary journal. The current issue (which I art directed) contains sixteen pages of art from mostly local artists working in various media, including works by Bradford Salamon, Lindsay Buchman, Pamela Diaz Martinez, Nguyen Ly and Riley Waite, who is represented by two pieces from his Playing With Fire series of portraits of young heroin addicts drawn with candle soot on paper. The cover painting by Fatima Jamil combines traditional realism with contemporary abstraction.

A reading from the journal Wednesday, April 27, from 5 to 7 p.m, coincides with the opening of an exhibit in Frank M. Doyle Arts Pavilion of art from the issue. The show will run through May 19 and the journal should be available in the OCC book store.
