Art Exhibit
Through Aug. 30

'"The Unknown Citizen,"' an exhibition of works by Los Angeles artist  Ðài Truong. On June 28, from 6-9 p.m., there will be an artist’s reception in conjunction with the gallery gala. Truong’s focus includes grappling with the issue of constraint and conflict in our daily life, external and internal, spiritual and secular, personal and universal. The human form is the recurrent motif in his work and he is inspired by peeling plasters of dilapidated urban ghettos. He often uses washes of paint over human visages to create a self-obscuring, restraining effect. The exhibit is his tribute to W.H. Auden’s verses, written in 1939, yet relevant in today’s mechanized society. Terra Galleria Artworks, Bergamot Station, 2525 Michigan Ave. T-1B, Santa Monica, Calif. Information: (310) 453-5104 or www.tgartworks.com
