Two new exhibitions at the Long Beach Museum of Art (LBMA) are showcasing contemporary works from California artists.<\/p>\n

Abundant, Bountiful and Beautiful: Gifts of Art to the Long Beach Museum of Art<\/em> presents contemporary works collected and created in California alongside Commerce in View: Photographs of the Port of Long Beach by Tom Paiva and William Livingston<\/em>, an exhibition showcasing two very different perspectives of the second-busiest container port in the country, LBMA officials announced today. Both exhibitions will run through Sunday, March 19, 2017.<\/p>\n

Abundant, Bountiful and Beautiful<\/em> exemplifies the museum\u2019s tradition of showcasing Californian art and artists. The eclectic variety of media are recent acquisitions to the LBMA\u2019s collection that express the vibrant energy of the region. Over 100 works on paper, ceramics, sculpture, paintings and artist books by modern and contemporary artists including Ron Davis, Matt Wedel, Christine Nguyen, Tom Knechtel, Ellsworth Kelly, William Wiley and many more are now on display.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe generosity of artists and collectors giving to the Museum provides the public with a portrait of the creative production that has made Southern California and the Long Beach Museum of Art an outstanding venue for the visual arts,\u201d said Ron Nelson, executive director of the LBMA in a statement.<\/p>\n

Tom Paiva\u2019s and William Livingston\u2019s photographs of the Port of Long Beach in Commerce in View<\/em>, capture the timelessness and haunting beauty of modern industrial sites and celebrate \u201ctheir gargantuan forms with a startling poetic urgency,\u201d stated the exhibit announcement. Livingston\u2019s large-scale views of the port, captured with a pinhole camera and Paiva\u2019s perspective captured with a large-format view camera speak to the port\u2019s relevance.<\/p>\n

Last, but not least, multimedia artist Brittany Mojo<\/a> has been steadily transforming the museum\u2019s basement, also known as the Ralston Family Learning Center, into an installation interpreting her Long Beach experience. The CSULB and UCLA alumnus and LBMA artist in residence will continue working on her ever-changing installation through Friday, January 13.<\/p>\n
