PISCES: THE NEW AGE GIRL

The pin-up calendar is a classic art medium. With horoscopes as the main theme, artist Bill Presing illustrates sultry, sporty, sweet, sexy, and other astrological qualities through a personified cheesecake, retro cartoon lens. The new illustrations plus monthly profiles, written by the artist, are combined into this collectable calendar release from Nucleus and Gingko Press. From the Capricorn Business Woman to the Adventurous Sagittarius, all thirteen original paintings featured in the calendar will be exhibited and available for purchase. Join us opening night to meet the artist in person as he greets fans and signs the new release! Since October of 2004, Nucleus has strived to be a welcoming gathering place for the art loving community by offering quality art, art-related goods, and rarities. Focusing primarily on gallery exhibits, we have also had benefit auctions, product signings, music events, and artist lectures. After three and a half years, we moved one block east to a much larger and more dynamic space. Still in the heart of quaint downtown Alhambra, we re-opened in March of 2008 with over 2000 square feet of open gallery space, 1000 square feet of shop/boutique, and over 3000 square feet of studio/production space. Having exhibited both local artists and artists from abroad, and catering to an international customer base, we offer an extensive collection of original contemporary, illustrated, graphic, commercial, and narrative art - all of which are carefully catalogued on our website. Watercolor is a water-based painting medium characterized by its transparency and luminosity, achieved through finely ground pigments mixed with a binder like gum arabic and water, applied to a surface with a brush.
