Negative Woman Photos – You Gotta Try This

Stare at the red dot on this woman’s nose for thirty seconds. Then, look over at a blank white space (a piece of paper or an empty browser tab will do). Did you see the “correct” version of the image? Here’s how it works: stare long enough at an object and the eye’s photoreceptors (particularly the color-sensitive cone cells) lose sensitivity from overstimulation. Divert the eyes to a blank space, and the surrounding cone cells send out a much stronger signal. The brain interprets this discrepancy as looking at the precise opposite colors, in what is known as a ‘negative afterimage.

Los Angeles, CA, Jan. 17th, 2012: The Site UnScene (TSUS*) is proud to announce the opening of itʼs art Headquarters in Downtown Los Angeles. TSUS* started with the goal of encouraging artistic innovation and providing a platform for a curated few of Los Angeles street artists.

As of January 1st, 2012, TSUS* has taken the next step in ʻhelping make art happenʼ by opening theirHeadquarters. Located in the heart of downtown Los Angeles, this warehouse style gallery is designed for private art viewings and invite-only art, film, and music events. The space also houses the unique concept of an Artistʼs Gym, where artists are invited to come work-out their artistic concepts and ideas.

Staying true to their form of doing things differently in the art world, the TSUS* Headquarters gallery is both exclusive and inclusive. Viewings are available by appointment only, yet the atmosphere of the appointment is welcoming and encouraging not only to seasoned collectors, but also to the young street art fans. Whether you are there to buy an expensive work of art or just a sticker pack, you are treated the same. It is the only space in LA that incorporates the lifestyle of the street art world into everything it does. The inspiration to create, learn and join the community is contagious.

If you are looking to acquire your first work of art or are adding to a larger collection, TSUS* can assist you. The companyʼs founders, JB Jones and Wil Atkinson, will walk you through not only the importance of each pieceʼs visual aesthetics, but itʼs history, the artists intentions and stories of itʼs creation, complete with introductions to the artists should you be interested. This is experiencing a lifestyle with expert tour guides.

TSUS* houses art from itʼs 10 resident artists, selected other members of the street art community, and has access to work by most of your favorite artists should you have a specific request. The artists they represent span the genre of what is considered a street artist, some live and die by getting their work on the street, and for others the street is simply another canvas in their overall vision. As you walk the space and discuss each artist, it becomes clear JB and Wil have made TSUS* their art piece, carefully selecting each artist based on their own love of his or her work and a genuine interest in their success.

Adjacent to the Headquarterʼs gallery space, TSUS* has created an Artistʼs Gym where artists can come work and create or have a session on the skateramp. Open 24 hours, the space is available toTSUS* artists and friends by appointment and is funded off sales from the ʻpublic art spaceʼ installation walls upon which the artists put up work. You can tell it is important to JB & Wil that the artists donʼt lose their sense of street and donʼt lose what sets them apart in the art world, “Galleries are always calling, but staying true to who you are is just as important as making money.”

In addition to helping you find the perfect piece for your collection, TSUS* offers art consultation services, event curation of fine art and live installations, and even hanging within your home. Inquire for more information.
