John Bagley, Jr.
January 24 - March 2, 2019
A found object usually inspires John, as his process is seldom planned. Working in assemblage, mixed media and collage, he loves texture, color and form. Discarded vintage objects are reimagined and reassembled into art. Bringing the past into the present and reconstructing an original art piece is his passion. Through March 2, 2019

Artist statement: "My artwork is a reflection of things that I love and enjoy. I draw inspiration from other artists. The medium I enjoy using the most is clay. I prefer working with my hands, so it’s a lot easier for me to create something out of clay rather than any other media I've used. I take elements from things that already exist and translate them into my ceramic pieces. I use topics that I'm interested in such as sneakers, music, etc. and use them as inspirations for my works. I also enjoy using a variety of colors in my pieces. Working with ceramics also made me appreciate art a little bit more than I already did. I can proudly say that most of my pieces came out the way I pictured them. They often started off rough but I didn’t let that discourage me. I pride myself in having clean, smooth and even pieces."

Selections from CCMA’s Collections
January 31, - April 28, 2019
Artists Milford Zornes, Millard Sheets and Phil Dike were instrumental in developing the mid-century California Style painting. Millard Sheets helped Helen and Francis Line establish CCMA and participated in the First Invitational Purchase Prize Art Exhibit in 1941. From that exhibit, he donated his painting Mesa Twilight to the permanent collection. All three artists participated in the Second Invitational Purchase Prize Art Exhibit in 1942. Phil Dike exhibited in the 1943 exhibit and was joined by Millard Sheets for the 1944, 1945 and 1946 shows, exploring different media. In this exhibit, we honor their contributions to the artistic community and to the developing Chaffey Community Museum of Art.
