Sculptures by John Storojev

On View September 28 – October 22, 2006 Opening Reception: September 28 at 7 p.m Asian-born, Russian-raised and U.S.-educated Storojev creates sculptural pieces that present a wide and intimate familiarity with different media as diverse and eclectic as his background. Side by side with stone figures are sculptures fashioned in metal, some of them in the form of majestic copper fountains which emit quieting sounds and billows of mysterious water vapor illuminated by colored lights. Bronze figures, busts in terra cotta and a large rust-colored metal “bug” round out some of the interesting sculptures created by this CLU sculpture instructor.

Collect all the behind the scenes stories and share them with the community: the feelings, the visions, joys and sorrows. Using photography, graphic design, sculpture, surround sound, video display and projection, the students will create a dynamic, innovative multimedia presentation and exhibit that will inspire you with spirited and poignant answers.

Cassidy is a successful painter and muralist who lives and works in Los Angeles. He moved to California as a boy from his native France and grew up visiting museums in the United States and Europe. He is well versed in contemporary trends and materials, but it is the purity of painting on canvas or paper that continues to ...
