Six pieces in all have been selected for the exhibit Bytes & Pieces. They are:
Brushfire Blessings First Flight
Shelter Fledgling Peace I
We’ll be packing them up very soon….I expect to have images posted by the end of this week…
Great news! I’ve had the hefty fee for submitting an application to Art on the Edge waived…Only ten artists have been selected and I’ve been fortunate to be one of them…I have to go to work now…The deadline is in two weeks and it’s coming up fast…More (I hope good) news soon!
And pics….
These are all w.i.p.s (work in progress)…I’ll post the finish product as soon as it emerges from the depths of the studio….
Connection is rather the account of a separation. It is not clear whether the last bit of communication between the figures is about to break down or if it is barely starting to develop…
A Tale of Two Sisters speaks of sameness and the existence of small differences within that degree of similarity…The differences do not constitute blemishes but create the individual and unique personality of each sister…
Red Coat Pilot…is in transit. To where exactly…I don’t know. I don’t think he knows either. He’s being guided by a bright star…although he’s not really looking at it. He stands vigilant inside his little nutshell/boat…Perhaps he’ll abort the journey and climb up the ladder towards the star…It’s one way to escape…
I guess the closest translation I can come up with is “tentatively” or “precariously”…This is a common expression in Spanish and it means that something is not quite solid or for sure…Held together merely by pins….
I find it appropriate to describe some recent personal events…although, come to think of it, pretty much everything seems to be transitory and disposable these days.
Tonight I have a spot at the Pushpin Show in Santa Fe waiting for my three pieces to be “unveiled”. I am a bit nervous about it but the concept was so well timed and so in line with how I feel about life in general that I could not overlook the irony of participating in such exhibit. I am very curious to see the work of the other artists and I am sure that I am in for a few surprises. If you wish to see photos of the opening, go to www.pushpinshow.com . I will be posting photos of my three pieces as soon as they are available.
I wish I’d never met you 2006
These pieces are part of a series titled “Domestic”. They are mixed media pieces that comment on the idea of home and the relationships that are established within the home. Consider the division of labor, the inequality and the power struggle among the members of any given household. Consider perhaps, the changes that the average family has experienced in the last few decades: single parent households, same sex parents, blended families of every imaginable kind…What does the domestic front look like these days? This series attemps to visually answer some of these questions.
Future images will be posted as they become available.
…and baby makes two 2006
Here is the invitation that’s being circulated for the Warm Nest exhibition at the Galerie Gang in IJmuiden, Holland. I am very happy to be part of this show and to be in the company of so many talented artists. I just hope I get to meet them in person someday…Don’t hesitate to visit the Galerie Gang site for more images of this show and some other very interesting information. A great way to expand your horizons and find out what’s happening in the European art world…
Mr. Wain Wayne sold one of his most celebrated pieces The Mustard Council Presents Cyber Racing Version 2.0 during his My Happy period show. We were very happy for him. For those of you not yet familiar with his zany work, you can still visit his gallery at www.arthaus66.com .
We wish him the best of luck in his artistic endeavors…
Thank you to all who submitted work to Desert Blooms. The finished show is quite astounding. The work is varied and interesting in many different ways. There are olis, watercolors, mixed media pieces…Abstraction and delicate realism…Flowers, vibrant colors, poignant faces, intense geometry and surreal scenes. Something for everyone…Yet the show comes across as a unit, with all artists represented sharing a genuine and honest love of painting. Don’t miss it…
Fabulous reviews for the “travelling pieces”. The Holland affair is fast approaching and so far it couldn’t look better. The work arrived intact and was unveiled among the applause and the “aahhs” of those lucky enough to witness it. Lots of overseas kudos….very much appreciated in this side of the Atlantic.
