The Harbor Village Gallery is pleased to present “A Matter of Time”, a show of new works by Jeffrey Zatlin showing from May 18th – June 27th, 2011. Artist’s reception will be on Friday, May 20th, 5-8 pm

In this solo exhibit, the Los Angeles native presents an honest and humorous look at how change really comes about, and how our culture and lifestyle help to create a future that is not quite what we thought it would be. Through his paintings, Zatlin hopes to lead the viewer to consider whether innocence and optimism can still prevail in a world that no longer hides it’s darker side.

“I want to say something when I stand before a canvas. I want to get a point across with that work. We’re all trying to make things better for ourselves in a world that gets more and more complicated, polluted, congested, less dignified, more insensitive, more shocking, less private, and not at all what Disney thought it would be in ‘Tomorrowland’. And somehow we are still able to identify our innocence and curiosity. And cherish who we are.”

A graduate of UCLA, his recent group exhibitions include the Harbor Village Art Gallery in Ventura, Tarfest 2010 at the Korean Cultural Center, Happy Los Angeles, the Women’s Club of Hollywood, Cal State University Channel Islands and the LA Municipal Art Gallery.

This is Jeffrey Zatlin’s first solo show with Buenaventura Art Association.
