PALM SPRINGS CA -- February 2, 2014 - COLLIDING WORLDS, an ART DOCUMENTARY in a 30-minute format, brings its latest episodes to broadcast and YouTube. Urbane to Urban features Los Angeles based artists Annie Preece, Amadea Bailey and Gregory Siff. Each artist is a vital part of the new explosion on the contemporary art scene. Annie Preece (www.anniepreece.com) was born on the San Francisco Peninsula in 1981, and now lives in Los Angeles. Annie was born in to a creative family that encouraged her talent. A bit rebel and always a free spirit, Annie found herself a rarity, a female in the San Francisco underground guerrilla graffiti art evolution. Self taught, Annie moved from city walls to canvas. Annie has been working hard to conquer the street art scene. She describes her work as "big-messy-pop-loud-humorous-sometimes political canvases, murals and other surfaces." Her work can be seen in galleries around the LA area. Annie has also received commissions collectors and corporations. She successfully brings the street to the main street without losing the rawness of her guerrilla roots. And always "love, Annie." Amadea Bailey (www.amadeabailey.com) is a contemporary expressionist painter. While her home is now in Los Angeles, her childhood was spent in the Africa. This childhood experience of freedom and abandon is still a strong influence on Amadea's work. "I disappear into the unknown and dig for what will unravel and reveal itself: new images, new relationships, new ways of moving paint. Scraping, scratching, wiping, adding, subtracting. Inviting drips, stains, layering, accidents, " she said. Her work is tactile, sensual and always swirling with movement -- a sophisticated dance between the artist and the canvas. It is from this " making order out of chaos" that Amadea's work burst forth. Her large bold pieces bridge worlds and travel off the canvases to continue forth in adventure. Gregory Siff (www.gregorysiff.com) was born in Brooklyn New York and now resides in Los Angeles. He is mixed media artist, designer, writer and actor. His work is a part pop art, part street art and part abstraction. His work is highly sought by collectors -- private and corporate. Greg has also used his work to raise funds for various charities. Gregory has stated that art "is one of the only things that can beat time." His work continues to show that time can be humbled by art. Gregory has is also a playwright and film director. He has further cemented his place in pop culture as the voice and body of Rocco Pelosi. Rocco Pelosi is featured in Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony (2009) and Grand Theft Auto V (2013).
