alex gallery mythology exhibition 11/7

I have had the honor of seeing Vander Zee’s new series “Sacred Earth/Mythic Body” and cannot tell you how elegantly Rob has re-interpreted the Gods – whether Pan, Narcissus, Demeter or other, if your eyes need a color treat and an exhibition in technique, don’t miss Friday’s opening reception.
The series is based on Greek and Roman Mythology set in juxtaposition to the Contemporary Landscape. Most of the paintings are life-size human figurative pieces.

DC’s Foto Week – Fixation

DC’s Foto Week is proving to be stuffed to the brim with interesting photographic related activities. Here’s one I thought you might like. Nine photographers each create a narrative with a short series of images, building the viewer a bridge between the image of our Nation’s Capital and the people actually living inside it. Their photographs inspect our city’s subculture and the people who thrive in it, whether it is the pure ecstasy of a public baptism or the discovery of an elusive quiet moment as 18th Street rages nearby. Some create their own scenes, driven by the absurdity or crucial absences in our cityscapes. Others sneak in the backdoor of highly defined alternative lifestyles, finding characters dolled up for prime time, squeezed in the underbelly of the D.C. club scene. What they all have in common is a fixation on the individual in the hands of a much bigger picture.

letter from hugeaux

Here’s a letter I received from Hugeaux on the President-Elect and the Arts.
Dear Humanitarians; Our New president Barack Obama is truly CHANGE. I predict that in the up coming seasons there shall be a HUGE increase on the importance of artists of African and American descent. We shall see a changing of the guards in many major and minor art institution / galleries and dealers. A new breed of collectors are coming into the arena. It has been a long wait for such a movement. For artists, it is now more important for you to create your on HISTORIES. The Internet is the key source. You have seen it work to it fullest with president Obama campaign. Old ideas are truly respected HOWEVER a CHANGE is HERE. GO AND GET IT!!!!!!! Hugeaux
