NoHo Gallery LA

famous monuments and images from television, film and music. This 1950’s art movement shows Americans’ fascination with popular culture, celebrating objects we see everyday and turning them into art forms themselves.

Fifty years later, NoHo Gallery LA will celebrate the legacy of Pop Art with works by featured artist Angela Richard and local, L.A. artists. Taking it a step farther, the exhibit will also highlight artists who

use “popular” or new techniques to create their art. To show the true "staying" power of POP Art, the Gallery will debut student's artwork from Cleveland Humanities Magnet.

Featured Artist: Angela Richard	The Legacy of POP Art “I am a mid-west girl, self-taught artist. Blending objects and icons from the modern to the old pop culture, with a cool and edgy look, my work challenges viewers’ ideas of “objects of art.” I have been influenced by other artists and other styles but pop art has always made the greatest impact on me. I believe it is relevant today as it ever was. I began working in this style in 1991, and each day brings new challenges with each painting, giving me great satisfaction as an artist,” says Angela Richard. Angela Richard is a native Canadian, reared on the plains of the mid-west. In 1991, Angela moved to Silverlake, CA, and began to paint and experiment with colors, techniques and styles. She spent hours studying books of famous artists and found her main influences were great pop artists Andy Warhol, James Rosenquist, Marisol and Robert Rauschenberg. She started developing a strong individual style, realizing she was exploiting ready made objects of the modern and old pop culture. Driven even that much more to learn, she spent hours at museums and art galleries of Los Angeles and New York City. Armed with a keen eye for objects, she started painting these objects on a larger scale, her projects have received attention from private collectors around the world and some celebrities such as John Waters. She has found her unique, strong, individual style and is getting recognition for her paintings.

NoHo Gallery LA is Proud to Exhibit the Following Artists:

The Gallery will also exhibit the POP artworks of students from the prestigious Cleveland Humanities Magnet Studio Art Class instructed by Melanie Miller. The select seniors have created POP art projects to complement their classical/humanities studies of 1950's socio-economic history, literature, philosophy and art movements.

"The students at Cleveland Humanities Magnet receive the highest level of instruction in art history and classical studies. They have studied the POP art movement, its origins and effects. Through Ms. Miller's instruction, they are continuing the legacy of POP art, and for that, we are proud to exhibit their work in the Gallery," says Gallery Director, Daniel C. DeBevoise.
