"Socially Awkward" Exhibit at Mad Art Gallery
ST. LOUIS, MO, (SLFP.com), January 22, 2012 - Mad Art Gallery proudly presents "Socially Awkward; the delightfully subversive works of Jert and Ron Buechele."
This exhibit opens on Friday, February 3, 2012, with a free reception from 7:00 p.m. until 11:00 p.m. and continues through February 28, 2012. Kansas City DJ's Dropout Boogie will be playing the opening (2/3/12); their first show in St. Louis.
Jert is artist Jeremy Townsend. Originally from the St. Louis area, and currently residing in Atlanta, Jert spent a decade traveling from theme park to theme park drawing caricatures for a living. Once released from that purgatory, Jert focused his work on the nature of crass, absurdist pop culture. Jert's work has jokingly been described by Hate Comics creator Peter Bagge as "... like Mort Walker('s) only weirder, like Mort Walker for hippies".
German painter and new pop realist Sebastian Kruger once declared that "Jert is his own church". Using a mixture of watercolors, acrylics, and inks on board and paper, Jert's work is the perfect comrade-in-arms for the paintings of Mad Art Gallery owner, Ron Buechele. Buechele's new paintings, his first new work in over four years, explore the seven deadly sins. He creates a convenient guide to eternal damnation. The seven deadly sins are those transgressions which are fatal to spiritual progress. You probably commit some of them every day without thinking about the rich tradition of eternal damnation in which you are participating.
Mad Art Gallery is located at 2727 South 12th Street in Soulard. For gallery hours, call 314-771-8230.
"Adaptation" Exhibit at John Burroughs School
ST. LOUIS, MO, (SLFP.com), January 22, 2012 - The Bonsack Gallery at John Burroughs School is hosting "Adaptation," an Exhibit of Paintings by Jonathan David Lange, from February 10 through April 10, 2012.
All are invited to a public reception hosted by the artist from 5:30 to 7:30 pm, on Friday, February 10. Regular gallery hours are 8 am to 6:30 pm, weekdays. The exhibit is free to the public. For more information, contact Donya Allison (Fine Arts) at 314-993-4040, ext. 229 or dallison@jburroughs.org.
Lange describes his paintings as being concerned with multiple subjects with two primary themes. He says that the first theme has to do with ideas, before any word of description or physical action has been attached to the idea. The second theme has to do with memory, how we often unconsciously distort and fill in our personal history to bridge gaps and try to reconcile a peace or continuum within us. Lange places these themes in the contemporary context of our frenetically paced society - the age of the Internet.
Lange spent some time as a student at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (2008) and holds a bachelor's degree in fine arts from Olivet University. He was chosen by Caelum Gallery in New York City in the fall of 2011 as one of 12 winners/exhibitors for the School's Out competition. Creating on his own, he also does commissioned work for private individuals and corporations.
The Bonsack Gallery is a not-for-profit educational gallery on the campus of John Burroughs School, 755 South Price Road in Ladue. For more information, call 314-993-4040.
Art, Music and Sound Come Together at the Guild
CLAYTON, MO, (SLFP.com), December 21, 2011 - The St. Louis Artists' Guild will host its first exhibition series of 2012, Sound and Vision, through March 17, in their galleries at Two Oak Knoll Park.
The Sound and Vision exhibition series is a group of five art exhibits exploring how we experience and create environments through our senses of sight and sound.
Sound and Vision raises several important questions:
- How does an artists' perceptions of sight and sound influence their artwork?
- How are the senses of sight and sound similar? How are they different? What happens
when you try to translate an experience from one sense to another?
- What role does music and sound play in our daily experience?
- In a time when forms of creative expression are becoming increasingly hybridized, in what
ways can visual art be combined with sound and music?
The St. Louis Artists' Guild will present programming such as poetry readings, musical performances, and workshops in conjunction with the Sound and Vision exhibits.
For this exhibition series, the St. Louis Artists' Guild is partnering with VSA Missouri, a statewide organization promoting access to the arts for people with disabilities. VSA Missouri will be helping present two exhibitions: Speaking Volumes, which features a pair of artists with sensory disabilities, and an exhibition of work by children with disabilities.
