Until recently I have had a lot of energy-consuming activities taking place going on in my personal life -- minor things like getting married, buying a house, etc. I have continued to make art through all of that, although for much of the time at a very not-very-prolific pace. Trying to get into shows, however, had to take a back seat, thus I didn't have anything exhibiting publicly since my painting "The Reward" was in a show at the Parlor Gallery (which was then called the Crybaby Art Gallery) in Asbury Park, NJ a couple of years ago. Over the last few months I have been very much more active as far as submitting material to juried group shows. I got into a couple of shows, was rejected by another, and took part in a sort of ad-hoc group show at the Loop Lounge in Passaic, NJ. It has been fun getting some of my work out of my house and onto gallery walls again. Group shows are enjoyable, but now I need to get my act together a little further, put together a legit submissions package, and try to go beyond the occasional juried group show. Anyhow, here are some photos from a couple of the shows I have taken part in recently.
This is a shot of some of my work hanging at the Loop Lounge Art Show, held on June 30, 2010. I had a lot of fun, met a couple of other artists whose work I found very interesting (especially
Nick Colbert, another painter hanging his stuff at the Loop that night), and got a lot of nice feedback on my stuff.
Another shot from the Loop Lounge. That's my good friend Jason Yerkes. He's a great photographer & digital artist. I'd link to his website, but he doesn't have one just yet....
I also have a piece in this year's "Strange Figurations" show at the
Limner Gallery in Hudson, NY (show hanging from Sept. 8 - Oct. 11, 2010). I love the Limner Gallery, and am a big fan of Tim Slowinski's painting. Here are a couple of installation shots from this show:
I will have a piece in the upcoming Nexus NJ show at the Arts Guild New Jersey, from Oct. 17th - Nov. 4th, 2010. More information & photos from that to come.
