The Artist Studio at One Colorado presents Gregory Michael Hernandez, Artist-in-Residence

Pasadena, CA – Armory Center for the Arts and One Colorado present Los Angeles-based artist Gregory Michael Hernandez as the Artist-in-Residence at The Artist Studio at One Colorado. The residency will run from July 2 through October 27, 2012. The Artist Studio, located at 24 Smith Alley in Pasadena’s One Colorado complex, is an interactive artist space in which visitors are invited to engage with artists as they work. While in residence, Gregory Michael Hernandez will maintain open studio hours on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 10am-5pm, and on Saturdays from 11am-5pm. Studio visits are free and open to the public. Armory and One Colorado are pleased to continue their over ten- year collaboration presenting innovative programs that introduce the arts and artists into daily life.

In his residency entitled A Bridge Between Landscapes, Gregory Michael Hernandez will create hybrid forms, images, and projects that metaphorically bridge two or more locations, combining his working materials and influences and mingling images from both desert wilderness and urban built environments. While at work in The Artist Studio Hernandez will be preparing a solo exhibition at Roberts and Tilton Gallery, Culver City in 2013.
