Brand Library & Art Center announced its fall Art Talks at Brand, formerly titled Art Talk Tuesday. Art Talks at Brand invites contemporary artists to discuss their work and the issues surrounding it, followed by a moderated Q&A with Brand staff member, artist and writer Jennifer Remenchik. The fall series will feature Los Angeles-based artists Kira Shewfelt, Amie Sillah, Edgar Bryan, and Carrie Cook. The series is sponsored by the Brand Associates, is free and open to the public.

On Thursday, Sept. 19 at 7 p.m. Los Angeles-based painter Kira Maria Shewfelt is featured. Taking influence from literary genres of magical realism and romanticism, her painting explores the physical-spiritual connections of contemporary life in saturated chroma, high touch movement and gestures, and subjects that portray intimate, athletic and existential motifs, often set within the natural world. Her work can be found in the collection of AMOCA Wales and private collections internationally.  

Brand Library & Art Center is located at 1601 W. Mountain St. in Glendale.
