Reclaimed Preview: Angela Duncan

Angela Duncan is one of our favorite hand letterers and illustrators. While she was visiting her Michigan hometown from LA, she came across an old painting at her mom’s house. Soon, the peaceful fall scenery was overrun by giant bunnies with toothy grins. Every time I look at this piece, I seem to find a new bunny hiding someplace.

Reclaimed opens Friday, October 21, 6-10 pm at Rivers Edge Gallery and runs through November 18.

Reclaimed Preview: Ryan Weiss

We were so excited that Ryan Weiss (whom we had previously posted about here and here) wanted to be part of our Reclaimed show. Ryan actually created two pieces, both of which are amazing.

Ryan sent over step by step process of how he created the piece Copacetic Sprawl.

Recap: Group Show @ David B. Smith Gallery

We visited Denver this past weekend for a friend’s wedding, and lucky for us, the timing coincided with an opening at David B. Smith Gallery. The gallery had standouts like Kris Lewis, Jason Thielke, and AJ Fosik in its back room, while the front room was dedicated to artists we hadn’t experienced yet.

Hong Seon Jang used scotch tape to create ethereal landscapes like the one you see above. He also created a huge wall piece using old National Geographics that were cut to expose the pages in layers. Paul Jacobsen’s beautiful large scale charcoal drawings were hung in frames that had been scorched with fire. There was a mini gallery filled with stark drawings of modern ruins by Don Stinson. Beautiful diptychs by Lanny DeVuono juxtaposed togographical, maplike paintings on one panel with water or sky on the other.

Recap: Happy Serum @ Starkweather Arts Center

Happy Serum, featuring artwork by Kill Taupe, Heather Hansma and Crystal Mielcarek, debuted earlier this month. Starkweather Arts Center out in Romeo is totally worth the drive, and you should check out the show in person if you can. Our pictures definitely don’t do the work justice. Happy Serum ends next Saturday, June 25th.
