CHAL member Hamid Lagder presents his artwork at Ruff Plastic Surgery Practice.  Thursday November 5th,  5-7 pm 2440 M St NW, suite 200, the practice will be hosting a meet-the-artist reception for Hamid, who currently has over a dozen large scale pieces featured in the practice.  The artist’s work will be on display through the end of January.

The surgery practice hosted a Wrinkle Erase for the Cause at the beginning of October featuring Hamid’s artwork. The practice donated the proceeds from common wrinkle-fighting treatments conducted to breast cancer and reconstruction groups. 

This is a new venue for CHAL to feature member artists . Don’t miss this opportunity to check out this new space for solo exhibits by CHAL artists. You can see the web posting for Hamid’s exhibit at the practice by clicking here. 

CHAL artist Jorge Luis Bernal presents Boundaries, the tenth solo exhibit in a series of CHAL artists featured at ENO, the wine bar managed by the Four Seasons Hotel. The location is 2810 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington DC. The exhibit runs through November 30th. To see more of his work, visit www.jorgeluisbernal.com

Jorge’s most recent paintings are influenced by the brilliant light, colorful sunsets, earth tones and ancient architecture of the American Southwest, where he is a part-time resident.  “I find inspiration in the surrounding mountains, landscape and huge horizons in my backyard, blending it all by juxtaposing imagery and presenting a distinctly contemporary vision. The paintings appear to be simple, minimal constructions of horizontal bands with often undulating vertical lines depicting mountains shapes, rivers, coyote fences and attempting to induce emotions and reflection or a meditative state through the use color. I consider my work visual conversations about life choices, overcoming challenges and the meaning of spirit.”
