Northern California-based artist Kim Squaglia's first solo exhibition at the George Billis Gallery opens this Saturday, June 1, and runs through July 6. The opening reception - which is, as always, is free and open to the public - is Saturday, June 1, from 5 pm to 8 pm.

Here's what George Billis Gallery has to say about Squaglia's work: "Kim Squaglia's paintings consist of multiple layers of delicately rendered biomorphic patterns layered between coats of resin. She builds on each surface with areas of saturated fields and lines of color. The imagery references the forms and space of biology, now transformed into delicate web-like trendrils within a murky atmosphere. The overall effect is the impression of ambiguous yet effective special depth and movement."

George Billis Gallery is located at 2716 S. La Cienega Blvd.
