Lex Gjurasic + Johnny Taylor + Margaret Sullivan

November 07, 2022

Lex Gjurasic + Johnny Taylor + Margaret Sullivan:
New & Noteable
November 7 - December 31

Opening Reception
Friday, November 11
7 - 10 pm

Introducing Tucson painter Lex Gjurasic. We’ll be featuring paintings from her “Super Bloom” series. Rainbows over flower-strewn mountains, what’s not to like? Lex is a visual artist from the rain-soaked Pacific Northwest currently living in Tucson, AZ. She has exhibited her work nationally for over 29 years, most notably in 2009 as a featured artist in the exhibition Kokeshi: Folk Art To Art Toy at the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles CA. In 2017 her video, as part of the Miranda July archive Joanie 4 Jackie, became part of the permanent collection of the Getty Institute. Recently she has delved into public art, completing a mural with the city of Tucson’s downtown mural project, as well as a temporary immersive exhibition at the Scottsdale Public Library with Scottsdale Public Art. In 2021 she was invited to collaborate with the New Mexico-based art collective Meow Wolf as part of the permanent immersive experience convergence station in Denver, CO.

 

 

Los Angeles artist Johnny Taylor combines painting, screen printing, and stencils on canvas to create his pop art compositions. "My paintings explore the things we look at each day without seeing. Though everything is game imagery-wise, I am drawn to advertising images and glyphs, the visual shorthand of contemporary culture. Painted buildings are definitely a big inspiration. Botanicas and psychic readings especially. "

 

Margaret Sullivan is a native Texan who lives on a working ranch in New Mexico. Her one-of-a-kind jewelry, handmade from silver, brass, and copper, is inspired by the lore of the Old West, Native American culture and iconography, an irreverent sense of humor, and by her love of horses.

Our Long National Nightmare

October 19, 2022

About this painting Jon says, "America dominated my teen years back in Wales - from Moonshot to Vietnam and then on to Watergate. Optimism turns to righteous indignation and finally into cynicism. Hindsight is selective but I instinctively reach back to that earlier self to explain the roots of our current despair. Thought I’d only have to go back as far as Reagan and Thatcher’s unholy coupling but a brief vision of the immortal Henry Kissinger recently wheeled out at John McCain’s funeral (like a guest star on an episode of the Munsters) put this pair of knuckleheads back in the frame. A history painting? A half written song (for sure) and a nod to Goya… “The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters” - America has an infinite capacity for such products, it appears…"

Our Long National Nightmare Has Just Begun

Kurt Herrmann's Baseball Alphabet

October 13, 2022

26 paintings, each one representing a letter of the alphabet, each one measuring 5 3/4" x 4 3/8" x 3/4"

Kurt says, "I started this series thinking that I would focus on the jerks and juicers, but as I was painting Alex Rodriguez I quickly realized that there are far too many interesting characters in baseball to limit myself in any way. These are actual players whose first or last names correspond with the alphabet. They wear invented uniforms with the designated letter on their hats and sometimes their jerseys. I'm sure you know of a better "A", or think Nolan Ryan should have been "R" and not "N", but that's not the point. These are paintings more than ballplayers, but by being ballplayers they free up a whole world of color, uniforms, Americana, history, shape, nostalgia, memory, and best of all - paint."

Will Johnson: Baseball
New Paintings
September 1 - October 1
Opening Reception
Saturday, September 3
6:30 - 9:00 PM
Austin artist Will Johnson explores the history of baseball in a series of portraits of players. An avid baseball fan since childhood, he roots for the St. Louis Cardinals.

Johnson said that he began creating baseball paintings in 2007 or 2008, wanting to pay tribute to some of his favorite players and stories — especially unheralded players — through folk art paintings. Friends commissioned some of the work, which led to art shows.

Will is also a well-known musician, having played with Centromatic, Monsters of Folk, South San Gabriel. He's made lots of solo albums. This September will find him on tour with Bob Mould.
