The Stone Malone Gallery is proud to welcome our own homegrown Artist Reena Tolentino.  She was born and raised in the movie capital of the world-- in our very own backyard that is Hollywood, California.  Reena was first exposed to art when her mom took her to weekend gallery activities at LACMA where she learned about original works of arts from the lesser-known painters leading up to the established Masters.

In her art and travel exposures to Europe, wherein she particularly visited Paris, France; Venice, Italy; Switzerland; The Netherlands, and Germany, she saw a variety of European art styles from various museums—these experiences served as a conduit of influence in what is yet to be Reena’s evolving experimental adventure in her art’s medium from acrylic, to oil to watercolor.

With no formal art school training, painting has always been a therapeutic avenue for her creative abilities. Her creative sense of art style was captivated in the emergence of Pop Art--its composition; style, definition, expression, colors and the freedom of expression that it allows for her.

Reena Tolentino will debut her art series called: “Hollywood’s Icons of 1990:  Gone, But Never Forgotten—they are the Stars who bade us their last but are here to stay though they’ve past.”  The featured Icons are:  Aaliyah, Whitney Houston (This piece made its art appearance in Reena’s recent music video called “Shoparazzi”); Britney Murphy; Tupac Shakur; Kurt Cobain, River Phoenix; Eazy E; Notorious B.I.G., Left Eye Lopez; Selena; Robin Williams; Princess Diana and Michael Jackson.

I am working with images and materials using a layering process with the intention of provoking the viewer to experience uncertain optical motion.  In some instances, using vibrating complimentary colors and serial repetition, I've reinterpreted the 15th century perspective techniques of anamorphismfor a current audience. The paintings require the viewer to play an active role in the re-forming of an image, sometimes from a "off-axis" vantage point or oblique angle.

After a 35 year career in Music, writing songs for artists like Nile Rodgers, Joe Cocker, Rickie Lee Jones , Alice Cooper...composing and writing for Films like “Roxanne” starring Steve Martin to “Iron Man” starring Robert Downey Jr. and my own bands the Januaries and Low Pop Suicide...which had achieved some “indie radio success." I knew....as in the movies, the Sunset was appearing on the horizon.

With camera and pen in hand I ran away from home , and toured the western united states. I landed in Livingston, Montana....in a cabin , on the Yellowstone river. There I met an artist there who had known the iconic American landscape photographer Ansel Adams. He shared a quote form Ansel that planted the seed for my diving into ART. The photo is merely the notes of a piece music on a page "the Performance is in the Printing"…Of course this didn’t apply in the digital age and Photoshop...which is not keeping with the artistry and spirit Ansel intended. 

So just outside Barstow California as I passed an abandoned “Manson Family” style Ranch. I bought a saw and pry bar at home depot then liberated some weathered wood and metal and built my own frames to “perform” the photos of my journey...the result was the piece titled“BUFFALO ON RUST” finger painted on the confiscated metal then attached with Lag Bolts to the Barn Wood. A couple who had worked at the Bronx Zoo then retired to Santa Fe saw it on display in Taos, New Mexico and now hang it in there home.

The evolution of performing on found artifacts lead to “EVE” which sold at the Stone Gallery. Music continues again with the release of EDX “West of Rain” avail at edxmusic.bandcamp.com. Cree-8-ivity the last tribe holding out for the temple of song….
