Dean Johnson Gallery is hosting a black and white photography show during the month of July called. . . Black & White.  The opening is this upcoming Friday, July 3, 5 – 9 p.m. It will be part of the July IDADA First Friday Gallery Tour. If you are not able to make to the opening, you can stop by during gallery hours, Monday-Friday 11am-5pm.

I have three works in the show, Cyclist in Maastricht, Connemara Cottage, and Black Forest Foliage. All were taken during travel to Europe. I hope you are able to make it to the opening.

The Dean Johnson Gallery is located at 646 Massachusetts Avenue Indianapolis, IN 46204 on the first floor of the Dean Johnson Design building.

Up until now you have probably only seen two or four of this series in person. This is the entire series. That’s 12 paintings! I am excited about being the featured 2-D artist at this show. If you are coming, please reply below or confirm on the Facebook event page.

On November 7, 2008, from 6-10 pm, as part of Indianapolis Downtown Artists and Dealers Association (IDADA) First Friday gallery tour, wUG LAKU’S STUDIO & gARAGE will host the opening of the exhibit, Action, Unification: A Perfected Communion. Wug’s studio is just east of the interstate and Massachusetts Avenue near 10th Street and is open on IDADA First Fridays or by appointment. For more information or to schedule an appointment contact Rachel or call Wug at 317-270-8258.

If one could see the remnants of the past fade as the present took place, how would this be composed? . . . I have created this imaginary experience with bone joints that are juxtaposed in order to capture action and unification. . . In the ideal joint, there is a true freedom for its members. . . Due to this infinite uniqueness of action, a perfected communion arises between its members.

I will be showing two of my recent “moving joint of bone” paintings on August 1st at Elegant Funk. These pieces are the climax of my current series. I will be shifting soon to new subject matter. The group show featuring 20 to 30 artists from Central Indiana will be a part of IDADA’s monthly First Friday gallery hop. The event will be from 5 to 9 pm at wUG LAKU’S STUDIO & gARAGE, 1125 Brookside Ave. Suite C7 in the Circle Center Industrial Complex. It’s just east of the interstate from Massachusetts Avenue. Work showing will include a variety of two and three-dimensional work. The quality of the submissions greatly impressed me and the rest of the organizing committee. I am anxious to see them in person. Most pieces will be for sale. Food, wine, music and local businesses will also be on hand, too.

This show is unique in that the artists have come to together via a local online social network, SmallerIndiana.com. Read more from the Indianapolis Star, and view the online discussion and progress in the events section of SmallerIndiana.

I am so glad that I have been able to be part of the organizing committee. I’d like to thank Andy Ball (and Lorraine), Nancy Digman, Eric Deckers, John Essex, Pam Frazier, James Keuster, Kate Oberreich, Janice Smith and Wug Laku for their contributions to Elegant Funk. I look forward to working with you in the future.

If you plan to be there, please contact me or reply below so that I can keep an eye out for you.
