"Ocean's Edge" Artist Reception at Gallery MAR Carmel

 
“Ocean’s Edge” --  Michael Azgour
RECEPTION FOR THE ARTIST
 
Stanford University educator and California painter Michael Azgour will premier eight new paintings for his show “Ocean’s Edge” at Gallery MAR Carmel on Saturday, January 25^th  2020, from 6 to 8 PM. 
Mr. Azgour is a nationally-recognized, museum-represented artist who is also a much sought-after teacher of painting and drawing at Stanford University. His most recent work, informed by and collected together under the title “Ocean’s Edge” has relevance for Carmel-by-the-Sea specifically and California’s central coast in general.  This body of work documents our timeless interaction with the water, the beach and the coast.
For the first time Mr. Azgour is exhibiting at the newly opened Gallery MAR in Carmel-by-the-Sea. “This work exemplifies what we hope to bring to the art scene here on the Peninsula,” says Thomas Cushman, co-owner of the new space, “it is current, it is contemporary, it is thought-provoking and well-crafted; it is also beautiful.”
