Richard REED

Richard REED

A New Path - November 2-26, 2011

Opening Reception this Friday 4, from 6 - 8pm

We're so happy to exhibit Richard Reed's ceramics. Richard is widely known for his paintings so when the idea of a ceramics show came up we were of course all in. He's found this re-newed spirit for an old friend in ceramics. It's interesting how you can see his paintings in the new ceramics, 2-D morphing into 3-D, very cool.

Stop out Friday night - see this amazing show of

ceramics and fabulous drawings and say Hi to Richard!

Reminder

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Hudson) — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 16:28:00 +0000

We're a little more than 1/2 way through this most recent G9 exhibit of local artists. This all women show has been very popular but we're sure some of you have yet to make it in. Consider this your friendly wake up call. It's an amazing example of local talent.

Here's a couple of pics from Opening Night

G9

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Hudson) — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 21:55:00 +0000

Hey everybody it's time for another Group of Nine, or G9 as we call it. This all women exhibit explores (some) of the amazing talent found right here in this place we call home.

Be sure to stop by and support these women during their Opening Reception on Saturday October 1, from 4-6pm.

Now, take a moment ----- think of all the tedious hours spent alone in their studios producing this generous body of work. Well, this is your chance to say thanks, maybe a hug, and keep them well stocked and abundantly overflowing with that one magic ingredient we all seek - inspiration.

There's still time!
Deadline is approaching so if you're still on the fence just jump off and get that entry sent in. I've had some questions regarding the file format, size, dpi etc. Apparently what I've asked for is not actually possible, oops (why are artists always reaching?) So just save the file w/ a smaller dpi or in a way you're sure the work will look great, w/out making it too large, and we're all good.

Great Read

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Hudson) — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 14:10:00 +0000

Wonderful post by Lee Gaizak Brooks in The Glass Quarterly Hot Sheet regarding Scott Darlington's glass hammer on display in the area artists exhibit at the TMA.
And, in my opinion the most remarkable piece in the current exhibit.

Taking a first place award at the 92nd Toledo Area Artists Exhibition at the Toledo Museum of Art (and on display through August 22nd), Scott Darlington’s Genetically Modified Corn Hammer (2010) may be one of the artist’s most compelling works to date. The hammer’s self-descriptive title and simple premise belie- click here for the entire post

New Gallery Artist - Ladislav Hanka

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Hudson) — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 21:51:00 +0000

We have introduced new gallery artist Ladislav Hanka to many of you over the past few months. And, your response has been overwhelmingly positive to his skillful and amazing etchings.

Brook Trout I

We have just received these gorgeous etchings of native Michigan Brook trout. Brook trout require cool, spring fed streams and pools. They can be found under cover of rocks, logs and undercut stream banks.

From "On Fishing" by Ladislav Hanka

"Bodies of water and their rivers of fish are a truly foreign realm, where we are but the most temporary of visitors. As I glance into the world of fish, with its own physiology and rules and an emotional life that I will never share, their disinterested distance is fascinating. We matter little to the fish, except as predators to avoid. My world here, above the waves, seems, in large part, to be ordered, recorded, managed, documented, confirmed, verified, catalogued and somewhere totted up, preserved on a hard drive and numb. It is a breathtaking gift when the sacred unexpectedly shows one of its myriad faces - coming in from that mysterious other place to break the spell. When I peer into the water and a salmon emerges, I awaken from the circuitous worries about money or how things are going to hell in a hand basket. I feel blessed. One moment the salmon is just an unremarkable shadow in my peripheral vision and in the next, a flashing window onto a parrallel, timeless world."

Au Sable Brook Trout

These fine etchings are perfect examples of Hanka's mastery of technique and shine light upon his deep love and respect for the subject. If you have a place in your heart for trout and all the beauty and life that surround them you'll want to see these glorious prints.

Walk Score?

I found this rather interesting. "Walkability" impacts our health, finances and the environment. To find your walkability score, go to http://www.walkscore.com/ and type in your address. Surprisingly/happily we scored a 75, what will you score?

Big Top

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Hudson) — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 17:31:00 +0000

As perhaps yet another nod towards the wonderful book, "Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruen this current show at the Ohio Art Council's Riffe Gallery has grabbed my attention. The exhibit, Sawdust and Spectacle: Under the Big Top in Small Town America is showing now through April 21, 2010. We've not yet had a chance to see the show but I still wanted to bring it to your attention/calendar. The book left such an impression on me that when I see anything circus related, especially early 20th century, I'm immediately hooked. We're planning to see it in mid March; can't wait. There's something about this imagery that's simultaneously nostalgic and creepy that always draws me in. If you get the chance to see it let us know what you think.

Skot Horn Reception

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Hudson) — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 16:29:00 +0000
