One space is revolving around the concept of stories-lore, if you will. Artists showing in this space are:
Beth Beverly : Fantasy Taxidermy-Having experimented with various methods of tissue preservation for the last eight years, Beth's latest work reflects a whimsical fascination with bridging the gap between dreams and waking life.
Maria Eife: Jewelry Design-An active member of the Philadelphia art community (SNAG, Collab), Maria designs thought-provoking and thoroughly modern pieces employing traditional and non-traditional materials alike.
Sarah Peoples-Sculpture & Drawings-Sarah creates tangible snapshots of specific emotions, moments, dreams in a variety of mediums. Her images are provocative, her sculpture disarming, and her most recent works reflect a deep exploration of myth and mystery.
The storefront just a few doors down will be occupied by a collection of artists working in ceramics and paint, all sharing a similar aesthetic revolving around organic shapes and processes. These works involve the perceived manipulation of and occasional surrender to all forms of nature.
Jim Coughlin:Paintings-Jim has been creating "puddle paintings " for the last decade, spending some of that time in a collaborative studio with fellow painter John Blanchet and potter Bob Deane.
Jim has most recently been exploring the addition of hand-made stencils being layered atop his work, and Bob is an accomplished potter living in Delaware County.
Gabriel Byrne:Paintings: Gabriel is a painter who arrived at his own style of puddle painting independently of the above participants, yet his work bears in inherently similar aesthetic.
Greg Brellochs: Painting- Through his unique images, Greg expresses his interests in aesthetics, the natural sciences, cognitive science, and philosophy.
Ira Blanchard:Video Projection- An experienced videographer, Ira will be presenting a myriad of nature-related images intended to tie all the bodies of work in this show together, the theme being all things organic and autonomous.
Serving as one bookend to all this action on Girard will be a corner space in which Gallery 27.28 will host a show curated by the owners, (who will also be hosting a show in their Gallery just down the block- busy bees!) of which the outside space is reserved for a lighting exhibit conducted by none other than Megawords. A collaborative of creative individuals best known for experimentation in contemporary media and communication, Megawords pushes the boundaries of convention exhibition and creative process.
Capping off the other end of the action on Girard is the craft space of which we briefly wrote about recently. Along with the previously mentioned artists exhibiting there, we've got
Ryan J. Greenheck: Pottery
and Josh Harmony: Pottery
There will be musical acts as well; stay tuned to find out who!
