Mark Savage’s “Souls and Passions, the Poets of Los Angeles” Exhibiting in Buena Park, CA


32 selected prints from Mark Savage’s “Souls and Passions, the Poets of Los Angeles” are on display at Buena Park City Hall Council Chambers 6650 Beach Blvd. Buena Park, CA 90620 March 11th - April 29th. 

Opening reception Thursday, April 8th, 2010 7pm to 9pm. Readings by Deborah Edler Brown, Imani Tolliver, Jim Bolt, Mauro W. Monteiro, Rachel Kann, and Rick Lupert.

Since 1997, I've taken over 150 portraits of Los Angeles poets- some in color and others in black & white, some studio, while others were taken on location. And because the gallery space is limited, I decided to have a show that was tighter in scope, and more selective rather than broad ranging. My last show at Beyond Baroque in Venice, CA in 2002 was huge- over 100 portraits and a little overwhelming. This black & white show is more cohesive and has a good feel to it. You can actually step back and take it all in.

Many thanks to the City of Buena Park and the fine arts staff: Imani Tolliver, Cultural and Fine Arts Supervisor, and Sonia Godoy, Cultural and Fine Arts Coordinator. I really appreciate all of the work both of you have put into this show- from press releases to hanging the art work. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity.
