Steve Turner Contemporary presents WET PAINT: Ten Young LA Painters, an eight day exhibition showcasing works created during the past few months by ten talented local artists. The process of selection began with recommendations from local instructors and other artists, and over the course of four months, the original pool of one hundred and fifty candidates was gradually reduced to ten artists: Daniel Cummings, Michael Dopp, Greg Kozaki, Anne McCaddon, Caitlin Lonegan, RJ Messineo, Michael Rey, Ana Rodriguez, Conrad Ruiz and Rowan Wood.

The works on view reveal that painting in Los Angeles is alive and well and that there is no single dominant style. While abstraction is most prominently featured here, the range of techniques, motivations and styles vary widely. Works are painted loosely and tightly, thinly and thickly, intuitively and calculatedly, brightly and somberly. They are painted on canvas, on panel, on paper and on board. They are big. They are small. And most significantly, they reveal that painting has not lost any relevance and continues to provide a platform for artists to express formal, conceptual and critical concerns.

Wet Paint will be on view for eight days only, from August 22 through August 29, 2009. During this week, from Saturday to Saturday, the gallery will be open every day from 11 AM to 9 PM. Each evening from 6 PM to 9 PM, at least two of the painters will be at the gallery to discuss his or her work. Schedule of artist talks (nightly at 8PM):
