ecognized as one of the top outdoor fine art festivals in the Bay Area, the 37th Annual Palo Alto Festival of the Arts offers a unique experience to each person. Downtown University Avenue is transformed into a vibrant art gallery featuring original artwork by 300 fine artists on August 25-26 from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. Hosted by the Palo Alto Chamber of Commerce and presented by the Palo Alto Medical Foundation, this awe-inspiring arts celebration brings together nationally recognized, local, regional and emerging artists, showcasing an array of mediums from contemporary to traditional: kinetic artworks, bronze sculptures, conceptual creations, and more. This artful avenue of design focuses on many one-ofa-kind original artworks for the art collector and festival connoisseur. Immerse yourself in the arts, enjoy live entertainment on stage and in the street and be intrigued by artist demonstrations and interactive exhibits. Don’t miss the Italian Street Painting Expo on Tasso, presented by the Palo Alto Weekly. More than sixty Madonnari, or street painters, will use pastels on pavement to create vibrant and colorful, large scale images. Even the Kids-Chalk-A-Lot area located near Lytton Avenue, welcomes the young Madonnari
( d 12 years old) (under ld) to create their h i own expression i of chalk painting for a minimal fee. All proceeds benefit Youth Community Service. Enjoy the sounds of acoustical guitars, ukuleles, and sweet melodies at the Webster Stage and for more high energy entertainment visit the Waverley Stage presented by AIBrain. Or create your own at Chopin & Chandeliers. Anyone who can play the piano won’t want to pass up the opportunity to “tickle the ivories” on the Play Me Piano. Just look for the multicolored chandeliers on the Tasso plaza. Continued on next page 2018 X Palo Alto Festival of the Arts X 3

ward winning artist Ali Golkar is an international artist who is known for his dynamic and colorful contemporary style.
Born in Iran, his passion for the arts began at an early age with classical Persian style painting, some expressed on the walls of his home when he was only six. After moving to the United States, his current painting style, somewhat reminiscent of Picasso’s, was well-received and exhibited throughout California, where he currently resides. As described in his artist statement, “Painting is a fusion of his dreams, thoughts, and experiences -- a means of portraying the often intangible in a way which moves the viewer with beauty, music and poetry seldom seen in contemporary art. His unconscious aim, rather than to experiment with an artistic vocabulary, is to transcend conceptual boundaries and create a new world of expression through his art.” His work has evolved including multiple media: etchings, watercolor, pen and ink, and a limitededition collection of modern sculptures--the first representation of his signature style in three-

oft melodies serenade you while strolling the festival as you visit with artists from one of our street corner concerts playing guitar, saxophone, accordion, and a Chapman Stick. Also, an acoustical assortment of fabulous talent is located at the Webster Stage with an interactive ukulele jam session open to everyone on Sunday. Or, maybe just let loose and enjoy some dancing with a great lineup at the Waverley Stage. Whatever it is, we have it all! Tom Rigney has become one of the premier blues and roots music violinists in the world, and continues to be a prolific composer of powerfully compelling music for the violin, music whose influences come from an extremely wide range of musical styles within the broad boundaries of American Roots Music.
Blessed with a rafter-reaching soprano ranged voice that emanates grit and fire, Toree McGee describes her music as a blend of “Woodstock rock ‘n’ roll, and sparkly country.” SEZU is the only band around featuring David Kaffinetti also known as keyboardist “Viv Savage” in the cult classic movie “This Is Spinal Tap”. In his “post-Tap” life, David is an integral part of genrehopping SEZU band, combining jazz, folk-rock and luscious harmonies. Making music that is lovingly crafted and passionately played, this power trio features Randy J. Hutchinson on guitar/vocals, and Kathy Ray on bass/vocals. According to Bazooka (A2B) features catchy songwriting, a vintage feel and three-part harmonies. With accordion, bass, guitar and percussion, A2B’s lively performance draws from rockabilly, country and zydeco with a distinctively California flavor.

Marlon Yanes, 2017
Between the lines, down ‘n’ dirty Is it a bird, a plane, or superman? Don’t look up, look down, or you’ll miss the exciting chalk paintings along Tasso. Each masterpiece is carefully choreographed through numerous hours of painstaking preparation as these artists slowly reveal their artistic creations on the pavement. The anticipation alone brings visitors back both days to watch these talented artists from start to finish, as they use pastels to create images ranging from 4ft. to 12ft. Chalk painting was introduced in Italy in the 16th century and has since flourished throughout the Europe and the United States bringing many more innovative artists to the scene to try their hand at chalk painting. This year, the Italian Street Painting Expo hosts a variety of subject matter which reflects each artists’ passion of this unique art form. Replicas of work from “old masters” to “anamorphic” styles, (whereby the artwork appears 3-dimensional from a
distance or through the camera lens) will cover the pavement from Lytton to University Avenue. Returning for his eighth year, this year’s featured artist is Marlon Yanes from Redwood City. He began street painting at the Palo Alto Festival of the Arts. His larger-than-life wall murals can be seen on buildings – inside and out - throughout many Bay Area communities. When asked what he likes about street painting Yanes said, “The opportunity to be in person with the visitor and show the progress as the piece comes together. It’s like a recharge as you start feeling tired, to continue and do it for the people especially when they say, I’m coming back tomorrow to see it.” Nowadays much of his time involves office space planning and decorating, participating in street painting events in the U.S. and Europe, and pursuing Continued on next page

Playing with fire
W
hen they say, don’t play with fire or you may get burned, Jonah Ward takes this to a whole new level and uses the “burn”, as patterns within his artwork. This northern California artist from Willits applies a delicate and dangerous balance of molten glass to create abstract images on wood within a contemporary style. In his artist statement, he Johah Ward describes the process as “Manipulating the molten glass by dripping it onto wood panels using various implements, peeling the molten glass off before it cools (which can be as hot as 2,100 degrees), leaving behind abstract burnt lines in the wood.” A wide variety of different woods are used all with different grains and textures. The final image
E
becomes a drawing created by hot glass. Seeing this exquisite display of craftsmanship is impressive enough but hearing about the process makes this artwork even more exceptional. And, you may never look at burned wood the same way again. For more information visit www.jonahward.com.
Pixel perfect keyboard art
rik Jensen is an emerging artist from Salt Lake City, Utah and new to the art festival scene. Even though Jensen was born deaf, it has never stopped him from making art, from just about anything. He’s received numerous awards and a full-ride scholarship to Utah Valley University. Nowadays he uses discarded computer keyboards to create his eye-catching faux painting with a pixelated 3D flair. Hundreds of keys are used to create these stunning works of art. Erik Jensen “I started out with just the normal keyboard colors but experimented to find a dying solution to be able to
dye my keys to get colors to pop out in my designs. I put together the design, add the title and quote/words, glue and install them in the frame that I make. I am inspired by the idea of pixilation. Living in a technological world, there are pixelations in everything we see, cell phones, TV, pictures, etc. I believe people fall in love with pixelations of things and not the real thing,” said Jensen. When Jensen is not working on his own art he is a high school art and ASL (American Sign Language) teacher.
