2014 Silicon Valley Contemporary Opening Night Highlights and Photos

2014 Silicon Valley Contemporary Opening Night Highlights and Photos

April 12, 2014 (San Jose, CA) — Last night, April 10th, 2014, Silicon Valley Contemporary opened its inaugural edition at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center, in the heart of Silicon Valley. At the VIP Preview Party, Bay Area art professionals as well as the area's tech executives and programmers flocked to the fair to see the cutting edge in contemporary art presented by over 50 international galleries. The festive evening was just the first phase of what will be a weekend that will showcase San Jose as a world-class art fair destination.

The fair drew a large opening day crowd of over 2,000 VIP attendees from the local arts and tech communities. Noted among them were executives from Apple, Adobe, Cisco and Applied Materials, as well as attendees from Bay Area arts institutions including San Jose Museum of Art, SFMoMA, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and ArtSpan. In addition,  Mayor of San Jose, Chuck Reed, presented the “2014 Art Patrons of the Year” award to Yvonne and Michael Nevens amidst a standing room only crowd. The local collectors received the commendation for their patronage and commitment to building and bettering the visual art scene of the city.

The VIP crowd was active and engaged and opening night sales were brisk—a good omen for the first year fair. Exhibitors were enthusiastic about their prospects for the weekend and many reported initial sales including a Jasper Johns for over $20,000, and a painting by Jack Stuppin at ACA Galleries. A Mark Flood Untitled painting sold for $80,000. KM Fine Arts sold a Hans Hofmann, as well as a piece by Dana Louise Kirkpatrick for more than 40 Bitcoins, the first known sale in the currency at an art fair. Bash Contemporary also saw two sales.

Allan Gorman's Ready to Rumble Road Show Hits the Road This Spring




Allan Gorman's
Ready to Rumble Road Show 
Hits the Road This Spring 

Artist and Harley-Davidson Dealers in NY, NJ and PA
go HOG wild with a unique traveling art exhibit
West Orange, NJ -- April 9, 2014 -- 

There will be more than just the noise of motorcycle engines on the road this bike season as oil-painter Allan Gorman makes the debut of his unique series of Harley-Davidson motorcycle inspired artworks at a number of prominent dealers in the NY/Phila metro regions with a pop-up show tour he calls: The Ready to Rumble Road Show.

In addition to creating a striking and unusual series of paintings, the artist has also conceived a more suitable and fun way to show them.  Gorman's art -- typically shown in fine art galleries and major art fairs -- will now be displayed in the showrooms, alongside the beautiful bikes that inspired them.

"The set-up benefits all involved.", says the artist.  "For the dealers, it's an interesting traffic-builder and public relations event.  It will give a lot of people -- old, current and potential new customers -- a great reason to come into a dealership.  For the customers, it exposes them to a new and wonderful form of Harley-inspired art. The paintings have been a real hit with both the public and the media."

Gorman's paintings are not the typical 'screaming eagle', or 'flaming skulls' art often associated with Harleys, but instead focus on the beautiful abstract shapes and designs found in the swooping tailpipes, reflective chrome and color contrasts seen when you look a bit closer. 

Besides a display of original oil paintings, limited-edition signed prints will be for sale, and Gorman will sign and sell commemorative tour posters at the events. Charities chosen by the local bike clubs will receive a donation of 20% of the sale proceeds from the posters.

Planned tour dates include:

May 1-3 -- Garden State Harley-Davidson in Kinnelon, NJ
May 5-26 -- Hot Rods n' Harleys @ Hamilton Stage, Rahway, NJ
May 30 - June 1 -- Tramontin Harley-Davidson in Hope, NJ 
June 13 - 14  -- Bergen Harley-Davidson in Roselle Park, NJ
August* -- Miracle Mile Harley-Davidson, Great Neck, NY
September* -- Brian's Harley-Davidson, Langhorne PA
October 3-4-- Liberty Harley-Davidson in Rahway, NJ
November* -- Valley Forge Harley-Davidson, Valley Forge, PA          *final date TBD

Allan Gorman
 is highly-regarded photo-realist oil painter whose résumé includes over sixty solo, museum and gallery shows over the past five years.  He is the recipient of a 2013 Fellowship for Painting from the
NJ State Council on the Arts, and residencies at the Vermont Studio Center in 2011 and 2014. Mr. Gorman's work has been seen at ArtHamptons, on board the luxury yacht Seafair at Art Greenwich, the LA Art Fair,Palm Springs Art Fair, Naples Art Jewelry and Antiques Fair and the Palm Beach Art Fair.  Gorman has been profiled in America Art Collector Magazine, Poets and Artists Magazine, the Huffington Post,gizmodo.com and numerous other publications and art blogs.
Mr. Gorman is represented by Anthony Brunelli Fine Arts in Binghamton, NY,  Howard Rehs Contemporary Gallery in New York City, and CK Contemporary in San Francisco, CA.

Jean-Claude Meynard

Jean-Claude Meynard


Métamorphoses-détail-2014
Métamorphoses, 2014, impression numérique sous plexiglas.

Métamorphoses, Hybrides & autres mutations

A l’art géométrique succède comme il se doit l’art dit numérique.
Qui dit numérique, dit numéro, algorithme, succession, évolution : fractales.
L’homme et le papillon en noir et blanc et en couleurs voisinent dans l’œuvre de Jean-Claude Meynard. L’homme papillonne dans la pensée de l’infini qui l’a précédé et de l’infini qui lui succédera, maillon perdu d’une chaîne qui n’en finit plus.
J’ai certainement un ancêtre fakir. Vous aussi. Il est probable que nous ayons des ascendants de toutes les couleurs. D’aucuns disent même que nous descendons du singe. Qu’il figure l’homme, parfois la femme, des poissons ou des papillons, Jean-Claude Meynard les projette dans des passés et des futurs aléatoires. Il n’est jusqu’au triangle qui ne donne le vertige.
Au stable, il préfère l’instable, le mouvement qui déplace les lignes.
Le long d’une médiane médite une figure, il n’y a aucune raison pour qu’elle s’arrête, bien sûr il y a le cadre, mais l’imagination l’éclate et guide au-delà du tableau cette silhouette d’humain dans les pleins et les vides d’un monde en expansion suspendu entre le néant et l’infini.
Lélia Mordoch

Vernissage le jeudi 10 avril 2014 de 18h à 21h


Exposition du 11 avril au 17 mai 2014
