A NIGHT IN WHITE!
The Michael Zschoche Gallery on Balboa Island will celebrate its grand re-opening at 7 p.m. Thursday with the unveiling of "The White Series: by photographer Maria Luisa Morando and sponsored by Pinky vodka (served by sexy Pinky waitresses).
Morando, a native of England who lives in Los Angeles, refers to the White Series as "timeless photographs [that] capture a series of moments and allow the viewer to explore the emotions that ebb and flow with them. Like memories, these images have the seemingly counter-intuitive qualities of being highly defined, yet at the same time, being impossible to get close to, no matter how much the viewer tries."
The contemporary beach scenes look more like paintings than photographs. And they perfectly reflect the new edgie Michael Zschoche Gallery.
In its former life, the gallery featured traditional original plein aire, still life and figurative paintings. Now with a fresh paint job inside and out, the once dark, navy blue interior is now bright white, a perfect backdrop for modern art.
Michael Zschoche has a penchant for transforming his Balboa Island stores into contemporary destinations for art lovers, and chic home shoppers. He and his wife Allison also own Zschoche, the hip, eclectic home and lifestyle store a few doors down.
"The art gallery and home store go hand in hand," Michael says. "Long-time clients of the gallery are now freshening up their homes with accessories from the store."
