Sunday marked the closing of this small but stellar showcase for four states of matter – and four terrific artists.  Held at the Art Exchange in Long Beach, the show illustrates that matter itself can transcend it’s earthly anchor, and mutate into, well, art.

Neon artist Linda Sue Price used neon gas to shape her works.

The exhibit was both playful and profound, another win for ArtX, which also sponsors monthly art walks and art activities, as well as hands-on arts classes.
