Extraordinary works of Art at the Oceanside Museum of Art.
Robert Xavier Burden February 18–June 4, 2023
In the previous post, I offered images of Robert Xavier Burden There is no way possible to describe these monumental works which depict stories connecting his imagination with tales we all know and love.
King Kong and Fay Wrey, Bat Man, Peter Pan and inscribing them into frames of imagination that take you on a journey of yesteryear and beyond...The works are anchored by a central theme or image. The intricacies of each painting are profound and the word awe is my personal reaction in viewing these works.

From Nature sculptured forms are incredible art creations which can make one wish you could touch. The exception is one sculpture make of porcupine quills. As a sculptor myself, the three dimensional element of the doing is exciting for it has sides, and a back. This aspect of creating is one of 360 degrees with infinite possibilities. The viewer sees the relationships of the form melding into itself and becoming a new image in 3D reality while walking slowly around the sculpture. The media is of Nature's gifts which Meier uses in a whimsical and painstaking effort. Patience is a quality demanded of this artist and she has conquered this challenge majestically.
FirstFriday Art Walk Oceanside May 5 Artist Alley and the City Plaza at the Library Courtyard...
Happy Feet and Happy Drumming ... dancing and making art. The Exhibitions by regional artists are now displaying in a venue across the street from Artists Alley. This natural progression is one which has origins of yesteryear in the early 90's. So, it is wonderful and timely, as we return to our Art Walks with the pandemic in the rear view mirror of yesterday... June 2nd will be the next event.
