Venice, California
..
The Mosaic Tile House in Venice, California, is a
magnificently resplendent labor of love and mosaic
madness! Fine artists Cheri Pann and Gonzalo Duran
have spent over a decade adorning their home, yard
and studio - inside and out - with mosaics of every
imaginable material. From pinchpots to mirror,
ceramic tiles to bottlecaps, porcelain rabbits,
costume jewelry and plastic toys, the swirls of
color, light andmotiona are found on every possible
surface. The couple took a course in construction
and learned to design and build the ceramic and
painting studio attached to their home. There,
Cheri fabricates tiles and both work on sculpture
and large-scale painting. The backyard sports a
sculptural mosiac homage to the Watts Towers,
created with Gonzalo's armatures of rebar and wire.
I'm honored and delighted to contribute to this
monumental undertaking when I am in Los Angeles.
