‘From the Eyes to the Hands’ | Topanga
The “From the Eyes to the Hands” exhibit is on display at Topanga Canyon Gallery through May 16.
The exhibit features the work of Farideh Azad and Donna Geist Buch. It is open Friday to Sunday between 12 and 5 p.m., or by appointment.
“Without the hand, the conception in the artist’s eye is just a conception and the hand has nothing to craft,” the gallery shared in a statement about the exhibit. “In art, conception is an idea, the originating of something in the mind visually, that gives the artist the ability to work their imagination. The physical work of the hands, together with the mental creative process, by use of the eyes, is what you will view in this exhibition created by Donna Geist Buch and Farideh Azad.”
