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

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.

Fine Artist Louise Mellon Donates Painting for GPL to Honor "Senator" Glenn Atkinson  
Wellington, FL - April 9, 2014- The GPL Polotini Party, a celebration held at the Mallet Grille at International Polo Club Palm Beach, officially kicked off The 5th Annual Gay Polo Week. A gathering of members of the GPL, sponsors, friends and family enjoyed an Argentine style asado, music and merrymaking sponsored by Patricia Quick.
Louise Mellon donated her original painting, "Airborne"
as a gift to be presented "Senator" Atkinson for
his role in helping McKenney found the GPL
GPL founder Chip McKenney led a short presentation to thank sponsors and hosts. At the end of his brief speech, McKenney invited Glenn Atkinson to the podium. He explained how Atkinson, fondly referred to as "The Senator," had introduced him to polo. He said the Senator and his wife and family had supported the founding of GPL and were always there to encourage him forward. Atkinson, once a 3-goal rated player, played well into his seventies. McKenney named the trophy for the feature game of the International Gay Polo Tournament the Senator's Cup in his honor.
McKenney presents the painting to the Atkinsons
McKenney presented a genuinely touched Atkinson with an original Louise Mellon polo painting called "Airborne."
"I am so grateful to Louise for the donation of the painting," said McKenney. "It was such a perfect way for me to honor the Senator. Without Glenn, there would be no GPL. Now in its fifth year, it is growing and growing."
Louise Mellon's work is immediately recognizable and primarily features horses, dogs and the equestrian lifestyle. Her brightly colored, vibrant pieces often have a witty or unexpected approach and are created with the intent to amuse.

Louise Mellon's work can be seen on the pages and covers of equestrian and art publications. Her work has been presented at numerous solo and juried shows on the east coast.

Urban legends serve as modern day mythology. Often evolved from cultural traditions 
and morality tales, these stories engage our collective fears and provoke strong emotional 
responses. Such legends survive through storytelling that is often communicated using a 
mix of words and imagery. The narrative can intensify the impact of the legend. The 
more fantastic the tale, the more likely it will be passed down through generations. More 
recently, the Internet has encouraged the rapid dissemination of these modern legends, 
many of which can be traced back to the original folklore that inspired them.

The works of the thirty-seven artists included in this exhibition are based on specific
urban legends. Each work is accompanied by text explaining the artist's personal
connection to a chosen urban legend. The purpose of this exhibition is not to illustrate
urban legends, but to better understand them by considering them in the context of each
artist's interpretation.
