*Laguna Art Museum

“Laguna’s Hidden Treasures: Art from Private Collections,” through

July 10; “Paul Paiement Hybrids 1.0 -- 3.5,” through July 3; and

“Surf Culture Redux” through Oct. 5.

“Paul Paiement: Hybrids 1.0 -- 3.5,” is a five-year survey of the

Los Angeles-based painter. Hybrids is an ongoing series of watercolor

and egg tempera paintings based on psychological theories of visual

perception, with the artist acting as a painter, scientist and

entomologist.

“Laguna’s Hidden Treasures: Art from Private Collections” focuses

on collectors and their art collections in Laguna Beach and the

vicinity. Works range from the early 20th century to the early 21st

century. Profiles of the collectors, their collections and the

selected artwork will accompany the selections.

“Surf Culture Redux” is a reconfiguration of the iconic works from

the museum’s most well-attended show in its history, “Surf Culture --

The Art History of Surfing.” Past, present and future links between

surfing and art are explored through works of art by surfers and

artists influenced by surfing.
