Altadena artist James Griffith will have a show at the Offramp Gallery at 1702 Lincoln Ave. in Pasadena from Nov. 18-Dec. 23.
"Natural Selection" features Griffith's small tar paintings.
In 2011, Griffith told Altadenablog that his latest series "extends my interest ... in the impact on nature by man's use of petrochemicals. In my new work, rather than depicting nature through a veil of plastic, I am using tar as a paint itself and painting elements of nature with it."
Griffith and his wife Susanna Dadd also host the Folly Bowl series of concerts at their Altadena home.
Opening reception is Sun., Nov. 18, with a closing reception on Dec. 23.
