• What is the difference between an “emerging artist” and an “art star”
• How to succeed as an artist financially, emotionally & creatively
• The art of business planning & taking control of your career
• How to get & stay inspired to succeed, rather than resting on your laurels

In the past fifteen years, Louisiana-based artist Amy Guidry has made the most of that time cultivating her career as an artist. The results of which will be exhibited at the Slidell Cultural Center beginning February 24th. The work featured will include many of Guidry’s most popular paintings, including those that garnered her the attention of American Artist magazine and MTV’s The Real World: Hollywood.

Amy Guidry’s work has been exhibited in galleries and museums nationwide including the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey, the Alexandria Museum of Art , Brandeis University, and the Acadiana Center for the Arts.

Prelude to Mommy’s Little Monster  

Solo Installation by Greg Haberny    

Lyons Wier Gallery is pleased to feature a special  

Haberny Mommy Install 1
Greg Haberny: Installtion of Mommy’s Little Monster

installation in the back gallery space by New York artist Greg Haberny entitled Mommy’s Little Monster.  The presentation is a prelude to his forthcoming solo exhibition at Lyons Wier Gallery this October.

Mommy’s Little Monster is a psychedelic glimpse into the wonderfully psychotic world of installation artist Greg Haberny. This particular installation draws direct inspiration from the artist’s personal recollections of his childhood. The artist exhumes and examines his “‘dysfunctional’” childhood, embracing the plethora of influences from his teen years growing up in suburbia during the 1970-80s.  

Haberny brutishly expresses his observations by constructing three dimensional metaphors dealing with his own personal issues, including but not limited to: chaos, disorder, anxiety, imperfection, awkwardness, madness, punk rock, guns, attending Catholic school, porn, drinking, drugs, excessive therapy, his cat his brother shot, dyslexia, isolation, baseball, rabbits, hallucinations, abuse, sinner vs saint, Martin Scorsese, independent cult film, toys, AND girls, girls…GIRLS!     


RESOURCED: The Influence of Photography in Contemporary Art 
  February 2 - 25, 2012

Ryan Bradley, Mary Henderson, David Lyle, Tim Okamura, Fahamu Pecou, James Rieck, Aristides Ruiz and Cayce Zavaglia 
Resourced: The Influence of Photography in Contemporary Art features eight contemporary artists who use photography to create and sometimes inspire their art making. Each artist appropriates certain aspects and assets afforded by the camera, creating work that is referential but independent in spirit. 


Resourced
presents a contemporary look at the influences and inspiration borne from the platforms of photography, ranging from found vernacular photography to self-portraiture.  Collectively, the exhibition reveals the inexhaustible possibilities of how an artist can appropriate and re-contextualize a photographic image into a distinct conceptual perspective through various other media. The artists’ methodology of capturing a moment or finding inspiration is as subjective as their aesthetic point of view.

Gallery Hours:

   Myles Bennett, Collar, 2011, Canvas, 10 x 25 inches.


 

On February 9th, Superb High Vernacular will showcase two Brooklyn based artists in a pop up exhibition at a vacant commercial space. This exhibition, titled ‘Alternate Affect’, will showcase two emerging interdisciplinary artists, Myles Bennett and Timothy Gasbarro. Featuring drawings, paintings, garments, jewelry and sculpture this exhibit will highlight the versatility of artistic vision as it translates through different visual media. The show will remain on view until February 29th.

 

Many artists commit themselves to one specific medium. In this exhibition, the viewer gets an opportunity to see each artist’s unique visual language as it traverses different materials and media. ‘Alternate Affect’ will be a stage for the diversity and variety of the artists’ work, which may at first glance appear defined and absolute. 

 

 

 

 Timothy Gasbarro, Steel RingThe period when artist develops their      own style and voice is a critical one, and  the length of time varies from artist to  artist. This show is an important new way  of looking at the creation of art, opening  up a path to grasp and monitor the endless  possibilities and choices that artists face.

 

 The variety of these works and their    different media provide insight into the      process of creation in general, and into    what it means to be an artist.

 

Timothy Gasbarrro, Steel Ring, Tool steel, 2004, 
1.75 x 1.75 x 0.50 inches.

 

 

 

Myles Bennett, Lead Stack, 2011, Graphite on canvas, 35 x 25 inches. Bennett’s fiber explorations have led him from drawings on canvas to painting, fashion, sculpture and back again. And at every turn he has produced an object that was both beautiful and compelling. Likewise, Gasbarro’s manipulation of found materials has developed into such a skillful subtlety that it often impossible to tell where the natural degradation of the original object ends and where the artist’s hand begins. He also makes it difficult but enticing to try divining the line that separates jewelry from modern sculpture.

 

                                                       

                                    Myles Bennett, Lead Stack, 2011, Graphite on canvas, 

                                    35 x 32 inches.

                                                                                       

 

 

Timothy Gasbaro, Surrealist

The length of time it takes an artist to develop a strong artistic voice varies from person to person. This show will suggest a way of looking at the creation

of art, opening up a path to grasp every object that an artist creates as a stone on a path of self-realization. These emerging artists are now finding their own languages through perseverance and a refusal to leave any possibility untested.

 

Curated by May Shetrit, ‘Alternate Affect’     is an opportunity to discover what it means to follow the path of creation, often with an unknown destination, developing and evolving as it goes. The exhibition will allow the audience to explore a language that is unique to each artist, and to trace the transformations and subtleties as they grow and deal with the challenges each concept brings.

                                                                                                                                                                                 

Timothy Gasbarro, Surrealist, 2006, Bronze, 4.25x 2.37 x 1.12 inches.

THE SHINING: LIGHT AND DARK IN CONTEMPORARY ART

BETTY ANN JORDAN, Arts Writer and Tour Leader

Saturday, March 3, 3:00-4:00pm

Certain works of art radiate light as an expression of the life force and others demonstrate the creative richness of darkness.

These examples provide a context for luminous works by selected TAP 2012 artists.

A fun and educational tour of art theft cases collected from a very specialized group of art detectives across the world, including FBI agents, Scotland Yard agents, the LAPD and officers in Montreal. These are the stories and lessons of their case files.
