29 Palms Art Gallery opens June Exhibition tonight featuring work by Reeyna Daniel, Ruben Rodriguez, and Edward Montgome 1m1j4d

The 29 Palms Art Gallery celebrates their June exhibition opening on Saturday, June 7 from 5:00-7:00 p.m. featuring Reeyna Daniel and Ruben Rodriguez in the gallery’s West Wing, and Edward Montgomery in the East Wing. 29 Palms ceramicist Reeyna Daniel’s “Fractured Oasis” collection explores the beauty and tension in brokenness: cracked, fissured and repaired surfaces that mirror crumbling systems, fragmented architecture and the quiet resilience of nature. Daniel’s work challenges the notion all fractures must be repaired or that broken equals discarded. Ruben Rodriguez’s “My American Review” collects album covers from the 50s-80s on which Rodriguez has painted around the figures to redefine the context. The collection is supplemented by hand-tinted postcards, black-and-white photos, and smaller historical canvases.  From Victorville, Edward Montgomery’s Kinetic Ambiguity Project features his signature post-production formula, using camera movement with long exposures to create the illusion of accelerated reality. Joshua Trees, power lines, and mountain ranges are principal characters in this story about the south-western edge of the Mojave Desert. The exhibition will be on display June 6-29, open Friday through Sunday, 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The historic 29 Palms Art Gallery is located at 74055 Cottonwood Drive at the corner of National Park Drive in Twentynine Palms.
