New Exhibition of HEADS opens at Laguna College of Art and Design Gallery

LAGUNA BEACH, CA, UNITED STATES, August 29, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- HEADS
September 4 - 21, 2025
Laguna College of Art and Design Gallery

HEADS is inspired by the 1991 exhibition, Head On/The Modern Portrait, curated by artist Chuck Close for the Museum of Modern Art, New York, which featured over 170 works of art culled from the museum’s permanent collection, and explored the various ways that artists build portrait images.

Artists Luis Serrano and Dan McCleary both visited the show in 1991 when it traveled from New York to the Lannan Foundation in Marina del Rey and were captivated by the endless ways of interpreting the human head. HEADS is their curatorial response to that experience, and presents diverse depictions of the expressive faces that surround us in our daily lives. In the spirit of the MoMA show, which placed work by modern masters alongside lesser-known artists in an extremely dense arrangement, HEADS features over 60 works in painting, drawing, photography, and print, centered around the expressive possibilities of the human head. In addition to work by esteemed artists throughout history, HEADS showcases work by students, alumni, and faculty from both Art Division and LCAD, highlighting the creative and educational bridge between the two institutions.

This exhibition is made possible in part by a grant from the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs.
