For the first time in the history of the
California Art Club's Annual Gold Medal Exhibition, the fine art
organization will present a collection of miniature paintings as part of
its much anticipated showcase of contemporary-traditional artwork. "The Club was founded by
plein air painters, many of whom created small scaled paintings on location
to capture the mood or lighting of a particular scene, only to recreate the
images in larger formats in their studios," he added .

"Sexuality is the crucible of humanity and it distills all of human
experience," says HORSCH , "I believe that not only is sex artistically
legitimate, but that it is the primary and most legitimate avenue of artistic
exploration. It was an interactive exhibition
designed to allow individual viewers to discover their personal limits by
challenging them to draw the line between so-called pornography and art. The art medias presented
include two dimensional oils, acrylics, watercolor , pen and ink, mixed
media, photography and prints.
