Southern California artist Alex Gano invited visitors into his creative process over the weekend, sharing how he turns fabrics and textiles into his art pieces.
Gano participated in the Brea Art Gallery’s Fresh{AIR} event this weekend. The Artist in Residence program had him answering questions while he created a new art piece right in front of gallery visitors.
His work is part of the gallery’s “Yo Gabba Gabba!: The Super Art Friends Show,” which will be on display through Dec. 12. The gallery show is celebrating the cultural phenomenon with roots that trace back to Brea. The children’s show was developed by two Orange County fathers, Christian Jacobs and Scott Schultz.
The gallery located in the Brea Civic Center is open noon to 5 p.m. on Wednesdays throug Sundays and costs $3 general admission. Information: breaartgallery.com
