"Sometimes I think of myself as an obscure fiddling fool who believes that there are so many tunes and so little time.  There's nothing more fun than exchanging fiddle tunes in a jam session or playing for a dance.  I've been a member of various bands and ensembles over the years such as Stampede, Iron Mountain Boys, Polecat Ramblers, Big Tweed and JT and the Zydeco Zippers.  Farmers market busking was off and on for quite a while. Currently I'm in a new traditional band called The Casitas String Band that plays for contradances in Ojai.  I love old time Appalachian, Celtic, folk and various ethnic music. Some favorite influences are Kevin Burke, Planxty, The Chieftains, Erynn Marshall, Bruce Molsky, Highwoods String Band and the New Lost City Ramblers among many others.." – David

OVA Arts' artist Carlos Grasso - Colorspace Solo Show

Due to popular demand COLORSPACE Show is extended until December 4th, 2022.

COLORSPACE is an immersive experience into the different ways I treat the relationship between Color and Materials, in this case with hand-cut canvas, modern mandalas and an impressive immersive circular room, the Colorspace Room, which displays an 8 x 47 ft circular painting… "An experience not to be missed”, “Fabulous show…” and many other comments artists and collectors expressed.
