Could anything capture the littoral beauty and creative spirit of the coastline between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara more eloquently than a guitar fashioned from driftwood and abalone shells? The “Resin-ator,” as J. Peter Boles’ fully functional six-string is called, is a centerpiece of the celebration at Studio 1317 on Saturday, April 27, marking the close of his exhibition there.
Other unique items by the Ventura artist featured at “Lyrics, in Wood, Shell and Resin” include vessels crafted from the same driftwood and shimmering rose-colored fragments, bound by a colorful resin-like material whose recipe the artist keeps a secret.
The show will accompanied by live music from Boles himself, a singer-songwriter whom the LA Times described as “a small guy with a big set of lungs, who has that classic folk voice with a rich range that fills the room and obliterates the idle chit-chat.”
Join us at Studio 1317 in Ventura, 3pm to 6pm
