Russell Palmer Launch of Indie Garage Series - Santa Monica Place
Author | groundwork coffee Date | March 13, 2012
Groundwork's mission is to serve the best coffee and tea and well, to serve our community. Our stores and staff have been quietly supporting local causes since 1991. Groundwork Indie Garage (GIG) is an ongoing series of art exhibitions on our cafe walls and is just another step in fostering the talent of those who live in our midst. GIG will represent the unrepresented, present the usually un-presented and give our patrons a sense of organically discovering the serious talent hiding in the (sometimes literal) garages of artistic creativity around the areas that Groundwork serves.

If you’re an artist located in Los Angeles, you can submit your work for consideration to GIG Curator Elliot Kotek at Elliot@TheNationOfArtists.com

Gary Palmer – Coffee Series
Being born in Northern Ireland, and graduating from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland with a Masters in Architecture, seems, in hindsight, to have been the perfectly unique stepping-off point for Gary Palmer’s artistic career.
Palmer first traveled the world as a street painter and, drawing inspiration from East African sojourns, transitioned from his horizontal cement pavement to more traditional, vertical canvases upon which he has been able to experiment with (and expose) nature’s fundamental elements.
Now living and working locally, in a studio near Gold’s Gym in Venice, The Groundwork Indie Garage is proud to present this series of works that was curated from our community, and originated with our favorite grind.
An extension of his earlier “Coffee Series” of narrative works, Palmer’s latest pieces were painted specifically for this exhibition, measure approximately 16” x 20” each, and are available for purchase by lovers of art… and coffee.
