Burton Morris’ paintings are so delightfully vibrant, you’ll have to resist reaching out to grab a gumball, snatch a piece of popcorn or pull the slot machine lever at “A New Perspective On Pop,” opening today. Bursting with color, energy and subject matter that inspires cheer, Morris’ art is the kind you want to wake up to every morning. The artist, who has designed art for Absolut Vodka ad campaigns, the Paris World Cup Soccer Games and the 76th Annual Academy Awards, will be on hand this afternoon to sign his first book, “Burton Morris Pop!” and in the evening to present his exhibition. Marvel Comics legend Stan Lee, who wrote the book’s introduction, will also make an appearance. Let’s just hope Morris has as much pizzazz as his paintings to get through this eventful day!

12-2 p.m. (book signing). 5-9 p.m. (exhibit reception). On display through Nov. 10. Free. Hamilton-Selway Fine Art, 8678 Melrose Ave., Los Angeles. (310) 657-1711. ” target=”_top”>http://www.abrahamschildren.net.
