    Art at L'Ermitage curated by Blue Tangerine Art

     

    L'Ermitage Beverly Hills, a premier luxury haven for creative minds, will be celebrating locally grown talent in an art exhibit curated by Blue Tanerine Art during the month of February. Andy Moses and Suzan Woodruff, both regarded as leading painters in the Los Angeles flow movement, will have their abstract work displayed alongside that of Patter Hellstrom, whose calligraphic brushstrokes and daring use of color will have a natural dialog with the chance element of the flow painters.

     

    Also featured: playful, jazz-inspired musicians with expressive line and color by America Martin; jewel-like watercolors by Chris Crossen and large abstract oil paintings by British-born artist Trudy Montgomery, who is the curator and founder of Blue Tangerine Art.
