Glendale Arts announced the opening of Arlene Vidor: Photography, a solo exhibition on view at ace/121 Gallery from Oct. 25 through Nov. 22. A public opening reception will be held on Saturday, Oct. 25  from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., offering visitors the opportunity to meet the artist and explore her body of work that celebrates – and wrestles with – the layered landscapes of Los Angeles.

In Arlene Vidor: Photography, the artist aims her eye at the varied and colliding scapes of Southern California – a place she describes as “unfinished, grand, decayed, and beautiful.” Trained on the architecture, juxtapositions and accidental abstractions that define urban and suburban life, Vidor’s photographs and digital collages reveal the poetry and rhythms in the everyday.

From palm trees standing sentry before modern facades to the tension between open land and built form, her work often explores what she calls “visual ear worms” – images that linger and loop in her mind. In Vidor’s process, photographs become found objects, fragments of visual debris that are digitally manipulated, layered, and reassembled into compositions that surprise both artist and viewer.

In addition to her civic leadership and photography work, Vidor is a violinist with the Cantabile Chamber Players. She holds a degree in biology and formerly served as vice president of Regulatory Affairs at Baxter BioScience before dedicating her life to community engagement and the arts.

ace/121 Gallery is operated by Glendale Arts and located at 121 N. Kenwood St. in Glendale. The gallery is open Wednesday-Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
