"Surfaces" @ Sandler Hudson Gallery

Okay I have been taking a break from the studio and blog since my show went up. It's been an intense past year and having some moments to relax  has been nice. Here are a few shots of the show. I have more work posted on my website. It feels good to have the work up on some clean white walls. The shows runs through Feb 25th at Sandler Hudson Gallery.

Surfaces Statement

This recent work body of work is an exploration of structures and layering. Pushing the paintings further and finding new shapes and surfaces has been an exciting avenue that I plan to continue with. I have loosely named the smaller groupings “The Fat Series”. There is a bold and raw quality behind these pieces. I work intuitively to create all my paintings. They are a reflection of the energy and state of mind when created. I want the tactile seduction of paint that inspires me to come through to the viewer.

I spent last weekend cleaning my studio and I am still not done. These small pieces created quite a mess and they required the most paint I have ever used. I am looking forward in starting some new work to continue the fat.

 Terri Dilling uses painting and printmaking techniques that achieve such rich beautiful surfaces and hues.  From Terri's website she explains that her work is a mix of mico and makro viewpoints. She is inspired by scientific investigations of the patterns and structures of nature.  Such as the formulation of plants and flowers.  Terri has a show "Assembly" up now at Portal Gallery that runs through Oct. 30th. It is a result of a seven month position as a visiting artist at the NSF/NASA Center for Chemical Evolution at Georgia Tech. Click here to see some installation shots of the show.

Atlanta artist Don Cooper creates mesmerizing works. He has won  numerous awards including the MOCA GA Working Artist Grant and Artadia Award. The work pulls you in and you want to linger for a long time. I am amazed at the patience and thoughtfulness it must take to create these beauties. Don exhibited a beautiful show at Sandler Hudson Gallery last fall. Check out the link of his review from Burnaway. This article gives a great understanding of  the Bindu series.

Hope you have had a wonderful Sunday!

Off To NYC

I am leaving for NYC tomorrow for a work trip. I am hoping I will have a bit of time to see some art and have something good to report on. It's just inspiring being there so I know I will at least come back with some good energy to bring back to the studio. I did get some good news yesterday that I will be having a two person show in January at Sandler Hudson Gallery. I will be showing the new "Fat Series" that I have been working on. I am very happy that I will  be able to focus on this show and really push this series.
Sunday Selection will resume next weekend~
