New Work by Paul Torres
September 5 – September 27, 2009
Southern California artist Paul Torres exhibits his new paintings at GCAC.
Artist Statement
I feel that art can help people in a variety of ways, as a form of communication, as a bridge, as a unifying tool, to help people see things and their surroundings in a completely new dimension. It can also help to inform them of world events, news, history, culture and spirituality. As a window to a person’s own soul, as a form of entertainment, healing, and also as a tool for peace and understanding. Societies have always looked at artists, and musicians for spiritual messages.
Of course, all of us see things differently, according to our upbringing, culture, moral values, interest, etc. I’d say children see art in the most pure form, so art in my opinion should not be made for a very defined group of people, but instead, it should reach as many people as possible. Some will understand it on one level and others perhaps with more life experiences and education will see more of the underlying messages and hopefully enough will respond to it.
As an artist, this can only be achieved with a grounded knowledge of academic art training, methods, and techniques in the craft. Knowledge of the history of Renaissance painting and a thorough understanding of Western art and culture, and an understanding of Eastern culture is beneficial as well.
In order to achieve the tools, technique and language to fully express oneself, one must come to a point of complete mastery of one’s craft. So one is able to devote one’s energy, effort, time and frame of mind to the content of the work. Therefore one can fully develop a personal and unique vision that people will hopefully look at for more than one minute. I aim to make my work interesting, different enough, and original on every level possible. I am always asking myself how can I make this, in a way that nobody has done it before, or in a way that I have not seen it before, in technique, color, value, surface, texture, design, composition and content. I will always begin by putting extra effort to design and value, because that is the core of a good painting, and the most important element of pictorial language.
I strongly believe that the world doesn’t need by any means another painting. I don’t think there’s enough room for it, but we can all surely and gladly accept another masterpiece, including myself. There are two kinds of artists in my book, the wrist artists which are mostly technically skilled and that will produce work that will never stand out from the crowd. Then there are soul artists, which transcend technique into a spiritual realm, a unique vision, which are the ones that get noticed, I’ve been called the latter by my peers.
We live in a time now where everything competes for everyone’s attention, jumping at us from every corner like videos, computers, TV, cell phones, radios, car horns, sirens, ads everywhere. We also live in a time where people are talking less and less to each other, in an average home most people have the TV on all da. The point I am trying to make is that it is harder today more than ever to capture someone’s attention. So therefore, in some ways artists have to think of all of this and join in the competition, so to speak, or completely ignore it. An artist needs to make work that is powerful enough to compete with the biggest colorful billboard, or the loudest song, and hopefully vanquish them.
I hope to bring beauty, hope, joy, faith, healing, happiness, inspiration, and move or stir someone, and promote self-awareness to people with my work, that apart from my family my work gives me plenty of happiness.
In the end I’d like my work to last through time, for as long as possible, because it is the product of my experiences of the time that I live in, and hopefully my work can enrich people’s lives in a positive way.

Call 714.567.7233 to schedule.
On July 11, 2009, Grand Central Art Center becomes the only Southern California venue to exhibit the Yerba Buena’s Center for the Arts traveling exhibition, R.Crumb’s Underground. This exhibition salutes local San Francisco treasure Robert Crumb with an eclectic exhibit of early work, collaborations old and new, and the world premiere of his “spool” drawings. Universally acknowledged as the founder of the underground comic scene, Crumb gained cult popularity for his pioneering Zap Comix and stardom with the Terry Zwigoff documentary, Crumb. Extending far beyond comics, the YBCA traveling exhibit shows how his work has grown in philosophical complexity, and highlights his collaborative work, including intimate confessions produced with wife Aline Kominsky-Crumb.
CURATOR’S STATEMENT
Todd Hignite, Guest Curator
Robert Crumb is the quintessential underground artist. His masterfully rendered comics and sketchbook drawings of the last forty years, markedly lacking in concession or self-censorship, offer a profound cultural critique filtered through demanding psychological self-reflection. Crumb’s art, which pioneered the transformation of comics into an adult literary form, addresses a plethora of personal and political themes within a multidimensional narrative framework. The work starkly depicts sex, violence, and race, among other subjects, offering revelatory insight into the human condition within the snarled jumble of a radically changing America. He combines the keen critical voice of the master satirist with some of the most impressive draftsmanship seen in contemporary visual art, and his work has proved endlessly insightful, controversial, and original. Although rejection of mainstream culture and high art has been a hallmark of Crumb’s adamantly alternative cultural vision, in the past few years the art world has cautiously embraced his work, which is exhibited in many of the world’s most prestigious art institutions and sold through blue-chip galleries. The irony of an outcast being the center of attention may signify to some an abdication of Crumb’s original iconoclastic fire. This sentiment misses the truth of the matter, which is that the art world, having moved beyond its pronounced prejudice against the twin embarrassments of narrative and illustration, has only now caught up with Crumb and his earthy, hand-rendered passions. Presented in a contemporary fine arts environment, this exhibition confers on Crumb the full range of importance merited by his wide contributions to visual culture. At the same time, the show recasts Crumb as a collaborative being in order to avoid the specious contention that Crumb’s rise was due to solitary genius. Crumb’s voice is realized through inspiring relationships with his era, community, and family. Neglecting these connections would distort the value he brings to the moment: the claim that life’s direct intrusion upon the art-making process is legitimate, however radical, idiosyncratic, and alternative those influences may be.
R. Crumb’s Undergroundis organized by Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco and curated by Todd Hignite. The exhibition is coordinated for the Grand Central Art Center by Dennis Cubbage, director of exhibitions.
This exhibition is partially funded by the generous support of Symbolic Collections

Eugenie Goldschmeding
Recent Work
May 2 – June 14, 2009
www.flickr.com/photos/38091473@N04/sets/721
Our 35th Artist-in-Residence from Holland, Eugenie Goldschmeding, exhibits her drawings, sculptures and mixed media artwork in the Project Room Gallery.
Opening Reception Saturday, May 2, 2009 7-10pm. Admission is free!
Recent Works by Dutch artist, Eugenie Goldschmeding, is a provoking journey of emotional landscapes and portraits. For Goldschmeding the environment of this exhibition represents a freeway for the unconscious. Her intricate works on paper are overflowing with detail while passages of impasto paint, ink, graphite and a mix of added material such as glitter create a generous landscape of color, shimmer and textures. Playfully the work harmonizes in this temperate blue installation. Her mixed media sculptures are at once organic and human in nature as they undulate and climb, ever changing in their configuration. Each work is informed by variables of experimentation. Together, ideas of imperfection, fear, desire, light, darkness, the tangible and the invisible are meshed into a kaleidoscope of creative energy. Much of her work is inspired by the openmindedness of children, who imagine shapes, shadows and playthings to be transformed into unknown organisms. As she puts it, “chaos equals the perfect playground”.
Born in the Netherlands, Eugenie Goldschmeding lives and works in Paris France. After studies at the Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam and the Ecole Nationale Supe’ rieure des Beaux€ Arts in Paris, France, Eugenie Goldschmeding has exhibited her drawings and sculpture internationally. This exhibition is her first solo showing in the Unites States and also marks Eugenie Goldschmeding as the 36th artist to be included in the Cal State Fullerton Grand Central Art Center Artist€ in€ Residency program.
We thank Eugenie Goldschmeding for her tireless effort and inspiration. In addition, we express our appreciation to the Netherlands Consulate for their support of the exhibition, the Grand Central Press, the Grand Central staff: Tracey Gayer, Alyssa Cordova, Matt Miller, Angelica Perez, Fellowship Recipient€ Krystal Glasman, and Intern Candice Alexander. A special thank you is extended to Exhibition Curator Andrea Harris€ McGee; her many travels abroad have made it possible to open our doors to amazing artists and newfound friendships.

How Green R U? An installation by Steven Ehrlich
(part of the Grand Central Art Center 10th Anniversary Exhibition

Coinciding with the 10th Anniversary Exhibition, architect and artist Steven Ehrlich, the lead architect who originally redesigned the historic Grand Central Building into the CSUF Grand Central Art Center, will be featured in our Project Room Gallery.
The concept of this installation is to challenge our perception of and relationship to sustainability. All the walls, as well as the ceiling and floor of the Project Room Gallery will be covered in “synthetic green grass”. In the middle of the room sits a prismatic sculpture made of mirror. Viewers will be immersed in a “World of Green” as they confront their own reflection. How Green R U? will also provide supplemental data which informs visitors of statistics about human impact on planet earth and the importance of sustainability.
