Olivia Ruiz evolves nicely between rebel songs, sensual tango, rock and alternative yéyé, juggling with French, Spanish and English. All influenced by the Têtes Raides, the VRP, Rita Mitsouko and Dionysos.

Olivia Ruiz, who has been a singer and musician from her teens, made her nameappearing on the French reality TV show “Star Academy.” Although she did not actually win the show, the young songstress has gone on to become one of the nation’s fastestrising stars and is also a popular pioneer of “nouvelle chanson.

Olivia (concert acoustique) interprétera des chansons de ses derniers albums: Miss Météores, Chica Chocolate, J’aime pas l’amour, et sera accompagnée par Stéphane Blanc, Robin Canac, Franck Marty et David Dupuis.

Olivia Ruiz évolue joliment entre chanson mutine, tango sensuel, rock alternatif et yéyé, jonglant entre la langue française, l’espagnol et l’anglais. Le tout influencé par les Têtes Raides, les VRP, Rita Mitsouko et Dionysos.

Musicienne depuis ses plus jeunes heures, Olivia Ruiz, après un passage par la Star Academy, est désormais l’une des étoiles montantes de la nouvelle vague de la chanson française. Deux fois nominée, deux fois lauréate aux Victoires de la Musique 2010, la carrière de la Femme Chocolat en fait fondre plus d’un !

The KONA Gallery and Photojournalism Center’s focus is on contemporary photojournalism.

The inividuals chosen for shows can be from any picture agency or unaffiliated, it is about the work, with a special focus and interest in showing current work.

The KONA Gallery’s key visual mission is create a forum for contemporary story telling. KONA is above all a gallery and space for photojournalism. A place for full reportages and moments that give us a point of view or illustrate an issue or moment in history to flourish and be seen. The line between journalism and art photography has been blurred in the last two decades and we hope our photojournalism will find a home in homes, board rooms and public spaces to help people appreciate the images and learn about the issues they illustrate.

ROUTE 66: Ménage à Trois PREMIERE’S AT THE BIG WEDNESDAY GALLERY
Panoramic Artist Olivier Pojzman Newest Tour De Force
SAN CLEMENTE, CALIFORNIA, U.S.–– The Big Wednesday Gallery is pleased to present fine-art photographer Olivier Pojzman’s ROUTE 66: Ménage à Trois. Join us at The KONA Gallery and Photojournalism Center at 412 North El Camino Real, San Clemente, California, U.S. 92672 on Saturday April 23rd from 6-12p.m. for the artist’s opening of these large (as big as 10×10 feet) works of art.

ROUTE 66: Ménage à Trois came about from Pojzman’s love of the open road, especially the iconic highway that stretches 2,400 miles, connecting eight American states. The dusty road runs from Illinois through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and ends in California. Pojzman’s keen eye has captured the quirkiness of many forgotten roadside beauties, combining snapshots to create idyllic photographic mementos. ROUTE 66: Ménage à Trois is a series of limited edition photographic giclees printed on canvas, in triptych form, which individual units can be mixed and exchanged, thus forming new Ménage à Trois’s.

The exhibit will be viewable daily in the Big Wednesday Gallery at The KONA Gallery and Photojournalism Center from April 23rd- May 31st, 2011.

For more information about ROUTE 66: Ménage à Trois and The KONA Gallery, please contact Rebekah Colby at +1.949. 481.3747 or email Rebekah@TheKONAGallery.com.
