Artwork at Buster Levi Gallery in Chilly Spring – The Artsology Weblog

I used to be having fun with a go to to Chilly Spring, NY, and stopped in on the Buster Levi Gallery on Foremost Road, which I’ve visited before. The gallery is an artist-run gallery specializing in up to date artwork, and on this specific day they’d a gaggle present. This untitled piece, by John Allen, was one which grabbed my consideration (and inspired me to maintain my distance, with all these sharp pencil factors). I’m not capable of finding an internet site for John Allen’s artwork, and continued searches for information on him are arising quick … I did discover this, which could clarify the issue of discovering him: “John Allen is slightly recognized, primarily not-for-profit artist who lives close by and makes a dwelling doing one thing else.” I’ve to say, that’s one of many more-interesting and humble artist statements I’ve ever learn!

One other piece which grabbed my consideration, particularly after I learn the guidelines, is that this one beneath, titled “Pores and skin Skillet,” by Pat Hickman. The listed description is “pores and skin membrane and rust.” What? Possibly it’s simply me, however itemizing “pores and skin” with out clarification makes one marvel if it’s human pores and skin, however some analysis on-line and discovering different articles about her work signifies that it’s doubtless fish pores and skin. I did discover this data, which was useful: “Born in 1941 in Fort Morgan, Colorado, Pat Hickman is a fiber artist and educator recognized for creating sculptural installations utilizing pure supplies together with intestine and sinew. She manipulates these supplies in quite a lot of methods, typically stretching them over basket-like varieties or knotting them into abstracted nets,” or on this case, a skillet. You possibly can study extra about Pat Hickman at her website here.
