I attended the Harold Balazs, Robert Grimes, Tim Ely opening at the Art Spirit Gallery in CDA last night. It was a wonderful show. There were many artists there as well as the gallery owner Steve. I have known Steve for many years as I used to be in the gallery. It was an amazing display. It will be up until April 2, 2011, I believe.
Visiting galleries or places where art is shown is important for any artist on many levels. One should get out and see what other artists are creating and how they put their artwork together...how they present it to the public. That is an important element in presenting your own art. At the Art Spirit Gallery the work is always shown at its best. It is a beautiful gallery and each piece is hung to show it in the best possible light. It is amazing to me how Steve always has so much art hanging in such a way that it is visible from many different angles. The art pieces never seem to be lost because of another and they are grouped in pleasing ways.
On another note I have been working on a series of paintings I am calling up close and personal. They are of faces up very close and larger than life. I am painting them on the recycled wood from the local furniture making business. I am starting them in acrylic and will be finishing them with oil.
