Encre: Rouge, Blanc, Noire

I am excited to be part of the invitational illustration/drawing exhibit: "Encre: Rouge, Blanc, Noire," opening this Friday, October 19th, at 7pm. at Grifins Modern Motel, 199 E. Loudon Ave. in Lexington, Ky. This should be a great show, with over 90 artists, lovingly curated by Ed Franklin, Georgia Henkel, and Giles Glasscock. All works were created using red, white, and black ink. The support media was not specified but pieces were also required to be 18 x 12 in. (appx.) and suitable for hanging.

Each artist has contributed two pieces, so there will be lots to look at. The exhibit will be up for three days only! The opening (and party) is this Friday, with music by Casino Versus Japan, and  the space will be open Saturday the 20th and Sunday the 21st from 12-5 so you can go back for another look.

This is one on my entries, "Focus," sumi and acrylic inks on washi paper, mounted on gessoed board, with varnish.

Exibit in Roanoke, VA

I recently traveled to Roanoke, VA to install an exhibit of my work at Gallerie Francois II. I had not been to Roanoke before and was pleasantly surprised to find a very nice section of galleries and cafes, along with a gem of an art museum, downtown near Galerie Francois. The official opening is not until April 6 during the First Friday gallery walk. We installed the show early because of scheduling issues. I have to thank fellow artist and friend Helene Steene, also from Lexington, who introduced me to the gallery and helped hang the show. She has some beautiful pieces hanging in the gallery as well. And of course, much gratitude goes to Francois Tor, for giving me the opportunity to exhibit in his gallery.

"Sage: Variation 2"

"Bridge Beneath The Moon"

I'm pleased to have two pieces in this show at the M S Rezny Studio/Gallery, 903 Manchester Street, Lexington, KY. Dates are January 9th - February 3rd, 2012. The exhibit is definitely worth seeing.

Photos of the Gallery and pieces can be seen here 

Quoting the the exhibit statement:

"The juried exhibit, notBIG a small art competition, features works in any media that is no than larger than 12 inches in any direction. Jack Girard, a professor of Art at Transylvania University, served as juror. notBIG generated 381 submissions from 112 artists, spanning 32 states and 8 countries. Girard selected 62 works for the exhibit.
Girard believes that, 'the works here represent current trends in some arenas of picture/object-making... I think we have here a dense, exciting, and intense exhibition of real gems-first-rate works that insist on a rather intimate relationship between artist and viewer.... These are small works and there are a lot of them, but they are nonetheless monumental in conceptual and emotive power.'"

Current Exhibit

Here are a few shots from the current two-person show at Logsdon 1909 Gallery in Chicago, IL, and the joint statement:

SUBTEXT

Information is a hallmark of our age. And whether intentional or imagined, every exchange of information carries multiple layers of implication and interpretation. In these two diverse bodies of work, found object constructions by Lucinda Alston Chapman and acrylic and Tyvek paintings by Philip High, both artists have lifted elements from the vocabulary of form and function we typically associate with written communication and reassembled them into new visual syntax. In this context, once familiar symbols become abstracted and are more about potential than point. From alphabet blocks and carved books to undecipherable script and dissected letter-forms, our graphic expectations are playfully subverted and reveal the deeper subtexts of imagination, perception and subjective relationships.
