Grand Central Art Center kicks off its 2012-2013 season Saturday from 7 to 10 p.m. with a reception for three new exhibitions.– Tony de los Reyes: Border Theory; Constantin Hartenstein: Event Horizon; and Erin Morrison:Meditative Action.
Tony de los Reyes: Border Theory runs through Nov. 14; his paintings combine two “orders” - abstract painting and the border that separates Mexico and the United States. Constantin Hartenstein is an installation and video artist working in Berlin and New York.
His work focuses on displacement, settlement and fast forward consumer culture. Erin Morrison’s paintings range from surrealistic landscape to magic realism. They portray a sense of loss or misunderstanding and the
displacement that comes with living a somewhat nomadic life.
Grand Central Art Center is at 125 N. Broadway in Santa Ana. 714.567.7233.
