Culture
Our "cultural fare" consists of food, wine, spirits and of course, art. Showcasing unique local artists in every medium possible is one of our goals. The space is designed to exhibit a humble showing of art in a variety of media (painting, photography, illustration, mixed media, and even some sculpture).  Each show will last six weeks and have an opening, or closing reception during those six weeks.   We also hope to touch upon some of the live arts as well, such as poetry, spoken word, dj's, and non-amplified acoustic music for your enjoyment.

David Tyrone Villa

Standing under a streetlight at night, one might recognize an intense moment of truth.  It is that moment when every color of your being splashes itself on the sidewalks of life.
 
This vivid reality is beautifully captured by artist David Tyrone Villa. . .
 

A San Diego native, Tyrone's journey as an artist started at 18 years old. He has gravitated toward oil painting describing this process as a sculptural experience that creates an intense expression of dimension and emotion. Inspired by the 20th century Expressionists, Tyrone's art is infused with a vivid perception that focuses on both personal experience and social settings.

In each of his works, Tyrone invites the eye to decipher an image of beauty. He paints this beauty onto every inch of his canvas. Color tells his story. The foreground and background become one.  The sky melts into the soil. Experience the energy that lies beneath each of Tyrone’s brush strokes; you might just feel the building breath or hear the night lights pop.

Tyrone challenges himself to understand each moment by stripping it down to its most raw emotion and conveying this emotion with color.
