Rob Reger  
The Encyclopedia of Hallucinations
(Excerpts from 3 Chapters) 
Chapter 9: The Exquisite Corpse  
Chapter 11: Everything's Connected
Chapter 13: Strange Fascination

 
This is an interactive show!  
Attendees will be asked to write a short description of what they see in  
Reger's paintings.The best of these writings will be documented on the  
La Luz de Jesus website

Mixing clean design with a pop culture neo-surrealist sensibility, the concept for Rob Reger's The Encyclopedia of Hallucinations has its roots in Reger's childhood camping trips when his father taught him to draw forms from a squiggle with a stick in dirt. The future artist and his father drew mainly faces, animals, and monsters and then created narratives from these figures.

As a result, Reger learned to experience pareidolia, to 'find things in other things,' a concept that is still with him to this day. The Encyclopedia of Hallucinations gives the viewer a glimpse into this visual and psychological practice that has become second nature in Reger's own visions. Imagination is Rob's inspiration, and though his suggestive abstract forms, Reger gives his viewers the freedom them to find their own visions. States the artist: "Looking back, I see this early experience as shaping my fascination with suggesting recognizable forms in abstract work and the tendency to personify forms and 'find' figures within general chaos. I inspire others, through specific forms that suggest forms, to use their imagination to find their own forms."  

Reger's art aesthetic and his design house,  Cosmic Debris, grew from a tangle of roots joining the DIY punk scene of the '80s with guerilla art, surrealism, and the psychedelic explosion of the '60s. As the founder, Creative Director, and President of Cosmic Debris, Reger introduced the world to Emily the Strange -an icon of empowerment for young alternative girls and outsiders of all ages. Like the little black-haired muse herself, Reger fuels his imagination with music, the natural environment, science and the artistic explorations of his friends and other inspiring figures.

Reger received a BFA from University of California, Santa Cruz and a MFA in printmaking from the San Francisco Art Institute. His oil paintings, printmaking, watercolors, and collage have exhibited in galleries around the world, including: Tokyo, Paris, Los Angeles, Miami, San Francisco, Berlin, Milan, Hong Kong, Sydney, and Santa Cruz.

Lauren Gardiner  
Misfits of The Forest    
  
Lauren Gardiner's newest series of mixed-media sculptures, Misfits of the Forest, is an exposé  of perverted pixies, fat fairies, inbred elves and naughty gnomes.  From among the seemingly innocent mystical creatures of our collective folklore, Lauren reveals the ones THEY don't want US to see: their deformed, their mentally ill, the fringes of their society who are not so magically perfect. These forgotten outcasts are brought to life in Lauren's usual witty style, but this time in three dimensions!  Now experience the poop of these irritating imps UP CLOSE with the scientific accuracy of make-believe! 

Lauren graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Illustration in 1998.  Since then, she has been based in Los Angeles. This is her 9th time exhibiting at La Luz de Jesus Gallery.

Strength and Grace - Michelle Dunaway Solo Exhibition

Screen shot 2011-08-18 at 4.33.26 PM.png

11 Broad Street Charleston, SC 29401
https://mail.google.com/a/fineartmagazine.com/?ui=2&ik=77fba93c83&view=att&th=131dea754dfd03a8&attid=0.1&disp=inline&realattid=f_gri7bh261&zw

STRENGTH AND GRACE
Michelle Dunaway Solo Exhibition

On Display from September 2, 2011 – September 30, 2011


CHARLESTON, SC (September 2011)- M Gallery of Fine Art is pleased to present a solo exhibition featuring the work of Michelle Dunaway. The show, entitled Strength and Grace, will hang from September 2nd – September 30th. The show will include approximately 23 pieces, ranging from smaller alla prima studies and drawings to larger studio works, portraits and still lifes. The opening reception will be held on Friday, September 2nd, in tandem with the First Friday Art Walk.

Dunaway believes that every aspect of creation contains a balance of strength and grace. Strength, according to Dunaway, is that which we are able to bring about through our determination and perseverance, while grace takes care of whatever is beyond our control. “I believe that sometimes the greatest act of courage and strength is to trust that Grace is there even when we can’t see or feel it...to persevere and continue to hope.”  The paintings and drawings in the show represent Dunaway’s explorations of these aspects and moments where she has felt the elements of strength and grace come together.

The title piece for the show Strength and Grace, actually came to Dunaway in a dream. She woke up one morning with the vision of her cousin Justyne wrapped in her grandmother’s handmade quilt. The painting is of a girl “on brink of womanhood wrapped in the creative gifts of the woman who came before her,” explains Dunaway. In the painting, strength seems particularly visible in the young girl’s eyes, while grace is represented by the grandmother’s loving spirit that is implied through the quilt.

Michelle Dunaway was raised in Alaska, where her artistically inclined mother encouraged her to draw at a young age, and her father took her on frequent nature walks. “Nature has also always and continues to be a constant source of inspiration...I remember as a child being fascinated with the smallest nuances, the way a leaf curls and changes colors uniquely, the way the color of the light and time of day seems to infuse an emotional aspect into a moment or place, the way the environment affects the person in it, these things constantly fascinate me as an artist,” says Dunaway.

As a teenager, Dunaway lived in New Mexico, where she studied at Art Masters with Lou Maestas. She went on to attend Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, where she studied with Steve Huston, among others.  In her mid-20s Dunaway was exposed to the likes of John Singer Sargent, Cecilia Beaux and Jules-Bastien Lepage. During this time, she also attended workshops Jeremy Lipking and Morgan Weistling. More recently she taught at California Art Institute in Westlake Village and at the Lost Angeles Academy of Figurative Art. She now lives in New Mexico. Dunaway was featured in Southwest Art magazine’s “21 under 31” as one of 21 emerging fine artists in the US.

“There's nothing as exciting and honest as painting from life to me,” Dunaway admits. ”To paint with the person or subject directly in front of you, well, there is a communication going on… it is a shared moment and is alive and filled with truth.” To Dunaway, it is the expression of honesty that makes a good painting. She believes that to be honest, you must stay true to the inspiration that first draws you to paint a particular subject. With that in mind, she attempts to simplify everything else that is superfluous to that initial inspiration.

Dunaway currently lives in New Mexico.

The Many Faces 
of Richard Gachot
August 28 - September 25
 collage
Found Object Sculpture by Richard Gachot.  Clockwise from left:  Many Faces, 1996 - oil filter, flour sifters, plumbing parts, kitchen gadgets, bike and wood wheels, and electric heater parts.  Mademoiselle, 2003 - carved and painted wood acorn finial, ribbon, boot trees, lard bucket and cake pan.  
Art Deco Man, 1996 - ice bucket, coffee pot, heat fin, gear, glass and found objects.

This exhibition brings together an extraordinary collection of major works that feature found object sculptor Richard Gachot's signature style.  Gachot's capacity for assemblage and mechanical invention fuses with whimsy and wit, producing works that are ironic, at times searing, indictments of common foibles, and abuses of the environment, real estate development, and recurring 
patterns of behavior or belief.

"From the Ashes" 

A Ceramics Art Exhibition Commemorating the 10th Anniversary of 9/11

Opening Reception at the Art League of Long Island:
  Sunday August 28, 2pm - 4pm
  
Presented in partnership with the Suffolk County Art Leaders Association   

A group of art educators from Suffolk County, under the direction of raku artist and Art League Faculty member, Gina Mars, have created a series of ceramic pieces symbolizing the regeneration, restoration, and recovery since that tragic day.

Part One runs October 9 - 30 for artists whose last names begin with the letters A - L; Part Two runs November 6 - 27 for artists whose last names begin with the letters M - Z. The exhibit will be juried by Dawn Lee, painter, printmaker, Chairperson of the Art Department at St. Joseph's College, and curator at the Omni Gallery in Uniondale. Deadline for submission is September 23. 
pictureArtists and Craftspeople are invited to apply for a space at the Art League of Long Island's 48th Holiday Fine Arts & Crafts Fair. The juried fair takes place in the Art League's spacious gallery and art studios December 3 & 4, 10am - 5pm.  Download prospectus here.  
   
pictureThe second annual Huntington Awareness Day Parade and Fair to be held on Saturday, September 17th in Huntington Station will have two new elements added this year as part of the Town of Huntington's Public Art Initiative, providing new opportunities for artists, as well as for public participation.  A Chalk Flood of street drawings will offer community-wide opportunities for creative expression celebrating the Awareness Day theme of "Unity in the Community," while a Huntington Kinetic Sculpture Competition will add a new element to the Parade up New York Avenue. 
The Chalk Flood, which will take place in designated portions of Huntington's northwest LIRR commuter parking lot on New York Avenue (from Railroad Avenue to Church Street), will have two components:  
    • Communal Drawing Area - a space where any member of the community can make a positive creative contribution to the celebration of "Unity in the Community."  Just bring your creativity!  We'll supply all the necessary materials.  
    • Featured Street Artists Gallery - a juried space where only those artists accepted in advance through submission of an application will be assigned a portion of the limited space available.  An application form can be downloaded from the Huntington Awareness Day website:  www.huntingtonawareness.org Applications must be received by noon on August 24, 2011.  Tips on street painting techniques can also be found at this web location. 
The Huntington Kinetic Sculpture Competition was inspired by Kinetic Sculpture Races held annually in Baltimore, California, and other locations nationwide.  While the Huntington event, will not include either the "race" or the "all-terrain" elements of these other Kinetic Sculpture events, we're sure that it will offer ample opportunity for display of both creative imagination and engineering skills, as well as lots of fun for spectators and participants alike!  Competitors will join other Huntington Awareness Day Parade participants in traversing the 1.3 mile Parade route in their unique human-powered kinetic sculptures.  Judges will award prizes in a variety of competition categories in recognition of artistic creativity, engineering prowess, and expression of the Huntington Awareness Day theme - "Unity in the Community."  Those interested in entering this competition can download an application form and competition rules from the Huntington Awareness Day website:  www.huntingtonawareness.org Applications must be received by noon on September 7, 2011.  Tips on constructing a kinetic sculpture are also available on this website. 
For further information on the Chalk Flood, the Huntington Kinetic Sculpture Competition or other Town of Huntington Public Art Initiative projects, contact John Coraor, Director of Cultural Affairs, at 631-351-3099 or via e-mail:  jcoraor@town.huntington.ny.us. 
 pictureArtists 50 and over who reside in Nassau County are invited to exhibit and sell paintings, photography, and wall handicrafts at the Glen Cove Senior Center's "Golden Gallery".  There will be a small reception at the beginning of each month for the chosen artist who is presenting their work.  For more information contact Lucy Van Horn at (516) 759-9610 or at lvanhorn@cityofglencoveny.org.
