Small pictures and bright colors splashed across walls
into one big delicious buffet at Bunny Gunner Gallery’s
“All U Can Eat” art show Saturday.
The exhibit is part of Bunny Gunner’s annual show
that arranges art to look like a buffet.
“The theme for this years event is affordability,”
said gallery owner Juan Thorp.
The pieces being shown are five by seven, or smaller
pieces that people can actually afford,” he said.
“Other artists make bigger pieces that are not
very affordable, so with these five-by-seven pieces, people
can have affordable, quality work,” Thorp said
Many artists’ works were featured.
The Rev. Bill Moore, a catholic priest, who had a collection
of his own at the show, sold all 25 of his pieces.
His artwork is a mixture of abstract paintings with deep
texture, and bold dark colors together such as blue and
red.
Laurie Scavo, a photographer from Colorado, was impressed
by the artwork.
“I had no idea this was here. I’m usually
not impressed in first impressions, but I have to say
this is nice,” Scavo said.
“My friend told me about this place and I was skeptic
at first, but looking at these pieces I see the artists
do a really good job,” Scavo said.
Visitor Liset Banks from Rancho Cucamonga stumbled upon
the exhibit, and was glad she did.
“I really like some of these pieces, especially
the little collections,” she said.
“Some of these paintings are so real, my favorite
would have to be R.T. Pece’s work and I will definitely
be coming back next year to see this exhibit now that
I know where to look.”
The event is hosted by the gallery owners Thorp and Susie
Eaton.
The Bunny Gunner art studio hosts a new reception every
month, and the “All U Can Eat” is held once
a year.
The event is free and open to the public.
There are little shops posted outside the studio and
around the area where guests can get food or novelty items
as a souvenir for the night.
