Live Charcoal Sketching Performance 4th Street Fine Art 2000 4th Street, Berkeley, CA 94710 Reception: Saturday, January 16 from 5:30 to 8:30pm Exhibit Dates: Jan 10-Feb 7 Re: Fine artist Prabin Badhia will treat the public to a live performance of charcoal sketching at 4th Street Fine Art on Saturday, January 16, 2016, 5:30-8:30pm. When was the last time you enjoyed a party and became part of the experience of art in process? Fine artist Prabin Badhia, will create a spontaneous work of art using charcoal on large format (8’x4’)- showing the method of this highly trained artist in allowing his figures to emerge from the canvas rather than planning the image in advance. He is challenging himself to complete the work in the time available. “I wait for the moments when my skills, energy, technique and emotions will narrow to a defined time and space. The result will be an intense expression of energy to be executed on the surface. My goal is not to create a look-alike object, but rather it is an adventure to be more playful throughout the process”. This work will remain on display as part of his exhibition of recent large format oil paintings. 4th Street Fine Art is a live action art studio and gallery, and formed as an artist cooperative. The studio offers month-to-month memberships with unlimited use of the facility and monthly exhibitions. Opened in 2012, this studio is located on the newly developed block south of University Avenue and near the heart of the renowned 4th Street retail area. The studio is an evolution of the original Art Gym and 4th Street Studio opened in 2002 by Gera Hasse.
