Please be invited! New Group Exhibition, Reception: Thursday April 4th from 5:30-7:30pm

I feel good fortune being able to exhibit this larger painting titled “The Tomb of Charles Baudelaire” during the month of April at Sandra Lee Gallery, 251 Post St, Suite 310, SF, 94108. This painting’s title is from a favorite line in a poem by Mallarme. Both Baudelaire and Mallarme were Imagist poets (along with symbolists and also Baudelaire perhaps being more well-known as an art critic/writer and philosopher. I experience affinity with these lines of thinking and so when I painted this work discovering the white calla lilies, I felt an attribution was in order for the title. (For discourse on Imagism, Symbolism and Visualization see http://tanyaclement.org/2005/06/12/imagism-symbolism-and-information-visualization/ )(For historical discourse see http://faculty.gvsu.edu/websterm/Poetic_Modes.htm)

I hope you can come by to see – the reception is April 4th from 5:30 – 7:30 and the exhibition runs
http://sandraleegallery.com/upcoming-exhibitions/ I also will have on view a small set (20 x 20″) of pastel oil paintings – very light and barely there.

Bay Bridge last night,opening of “The Bay Lights” by artist Leo Villareal, March 5 2013 around 9 PM

Last evening took a run over along Howard to the Embacadero to see the ‘opening’ of artist Leo Villareal’s privately funded public artwork. I had forgotten the excitement that an unveiling could have plus the thrill of a public artwork bringing together a community until last night, and what a technologically savvy and aesthetic artwork it is! Thank you, Leo Villareal.

Here are a few images from the rainy evening. The artist spoke from a speaker and mentioned that over the next two years, the same patterns would never be seen twice.
Here is an informative quote from the NY Times “… Tuesday night when the artist Leo Villareal will switch on what is being billed as the world’s largest L.E.D. light sculpture. The public art installation, “The Bay Lights,” will illuminate the bridge’s 1.8-mile western span with 25,000 undulating white lights.” (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/05/us/light-sculpture-is-set-for-bay-bridge.html?_r=0)

“Sandra Lee Gallery presents a Valentines themed group show featuring our selected gallery artists. This exhibition is meant to showcase the outstanding works of both our existing artists and some exciting new members. As a reflection of the mutual love and appreciation between us and our artists as well as the budding admiration for our newest friends, we throw an exhibition in the name of ‘Love’.

For the entirety of the month, Sandra Lee Gallery will showcase a number of works infused with and inspired by the sentiment of love, compassion, and devotion. In keeping with the Valentines Day spirit during the month of February, our fine art work will echo the passion of our artists and the passion of the holiday through color, subject, and mood. As a group exhibition, the show will be both a reminder of our current artists’ exceptional abilities as well as a thrilling introduction to the newest talent added to our recently enhanced roster of artists. This compelling exhibition will be an enchanting display that combines the anticipation of the New Year with the enchantment of the Valentines holiday.”

Today!

Today I see I left off (a few posts back (at my studio)) with the large 100! work lying on the floor. Since that time I have installed it on the wall as seen in this photo. Previously I was going to put my uncle’s birds into the work in some fashion but now know they will go better on the paper section (see to the left of the 100 canvases the paper pieces hanging on the wall with pushpins.) Each of the painted 100 canvas pieces (of which I am working with #9 and #10) are created with a concurrently painted 100 pieces on paper – same size. When questioned on this I have needed to respond with differing answers as each set of 100! works are different therefore hold differing reasoning. At some point in time I will consolidate my writings and thoughts on this series and put them together in one document. For this particular set having the actual birds or some semblance of them on paper next to this newly painted section does fit even if it is only because this new work is mainly in blues. Perhaps set the birds into a state of infinity/ infinite space…which is something I have always wished to work with. We will see – I work a lot with ideas of indeterminate and qualities of unknown/known complexity.

The newest 100! work (#9 of the series) on the wall.(Kathryn Arnold
