On Thursday, April 10, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm, Stremmel Gallery will host an opening reception for an exhibition of new works by distinguished California artists, Charles Arnoldi and Roger Berry. The public is invited to attend the show of Arnoldi's paintings and Berry's sculpture, which will continue through May 3rd, 2008.

Charles Arnoldi's paintings are carefully balanced in a harmonious colorful interplay of repeated abstract geometrical forms. Born in 1946 in Dayton, OH, in 1946, Arnoldi lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. A recipient of frequent honors, including two Artist Fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship, and the "Maestro Fellowship" from the California Arts Council, he has been showcased in numerous solo exhibitions, including most recently at the Charles Cowles Gallery, NY and the Busan Metropolitan Art Museum, Busan, Korea. His artwork can be found in various museum collections including the Art Institute of Chicago, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Museum of Modern Art and San Francisco Museum of Art.

Northern California artist Roger Berry creates metal sculptures whose arching shapes seem to suggest loosely intertwined knots. Looped forms twist around and curve back upon themselves in gracefully choreographed movement. Born in Chico, CA in 1950, Berry received his degree in art from Raymond College, University of the Pacific in 1972. He has had a large number of works purchased for public art installations throughout the country, including most recently, Renown Medical Center in Reno, NV, Stanford University in Stanford, CA, Oberlin College, Oberlin, OH, and Kaiser Hospital, San Francisco, CA.

The exhibition of new works by Charles Arnoldi and Roger Berry will continue through May 3rd, 2008. Stremmel Gallery is located at 1400 S. Virginia Street.
