Jeremy Hara's "Cacophonous Colors"

Lake Tahoe Community College (LTCC) has an incredible art gallery, The Haldan. I have be wowed here quite a few times, today's visit was no exception... WOW.

The Gallery describes Jeremy Hara's work as "gloriously colorful and irreverent." I describe it as indescribable! He labels himself as a multi-talented artist. His work has been described as witty, ironic, and refreshingly different. I agree 100%. Oh, and it's fun.

What absolutely blew my mind was his primary paint of choice comes from a can! 



Each piece is so unique and truly showcases his talents.

Even his custom spray cans offer a varied view of his world.
His talents in miniatures is impressive.
Kapitol (pill bottles, miniature dollars, gelatin capsules) intrigued with its commentary.
Speaking of miniatures, this just might be my favorite piece in the exhibit. Microcosm is an architectural model of the Haldan Gallery and Jeremy's solo show. If you look closely and then look at the art displayed within this post, you will see that Jeremy recreated each work for this miniature reproduction.

There is an even tinier Microcosm recreated within the original piece. So dang cool.

It's hard to grasp that these works are intricately created with spray paint. They really must be seen to be believed.
The painting I would own is Monet Monet Monet Money which was painted in 2020. According to his website, this was a prolific year for Jeremy. He was laid off his job of over 20 years, became an artist full time, and painted over 100 paintings. The rest as they say is history.
I enjoyed Cacophonous Colors so enthusiastically, Steve wants to see it too so before it leaves on December 8th, we'll be returning for another wowing!
