Bruce Lee: Dancing Nightly - New Paintings

Bruce Lee:
Dancing Nightly
New Paintings 2022
February 15 thru March 27
BRUCE'S ARTWILL BE ONLINE BY 4PM TUESDAY 2/15
 
Opening Reception With Bruce
Saturday, February 19
6:30 - 9:00 PM

Bruce is a folk art gallerist (the Webb Gallery in Waxahachie) who paints on vintage cotton seed sacks, canvas bags, and journal and ledger paper.
Bruce Lee’s grandparents were missionaries in the mountains of Kerala, South India during the 1930s and ’40s, where his mother was born.  In his youth he was surrounded by their esoteric books and folk art which they brought back to the U.S. These mysterious treasures were Bruce's earliest inspirations.
Bruce Lee grew up in Dallas where, in the 1980s, he discovered the skateboarding and punk rock scenes. It was here that he met his wife, Julie, and they quickly began a lifetime of collecting together. 
Bruce and Julie collaborated on a cut and paste fanzine in their teenage years called “Bad Karma” and the profile head which Bruce repeats as a subject in his artwork began as a t-shirt sharpie marker drawing in 1982.
Inheriting his grandparents' love of antiquarian books, Bruce Lee has added to the collection of printed matter with folk art, railroad hobo lore, train car graffiti, the study of the occult, and fraternal history.

Kurt Herrman: Backwoods Bebop – New Color Bombs

September 14, 2021

Kurt Herrmann
Backwoods Bebop – New Color Bombs
October 1 - November 7
Opening Reception
Saturday, October 2
1- 4 PM concurrent with Open Canopy


Kurt Herrmann ( b. 1972, Lock Haven, USA ) is a painter from the mountains of Pennsylvania who does both figurative and abstract work, but above all he is a colorist at heart. Two of his recent shows were featured in Time Out Chicago and the Philadelphia Inquirer, with recent shows in Tasmania ( Penny Contemporary ) , Canberra (Aarwun Gallery), Australia; Auckland ( 12 Gallery ), New Zealand; and Philadelphia ( James Oliver Gallery), Charlotte ( Sozo Gallery ), and New Orleans ( Octavia Gallery ).  Although his exhibition schedule is increasingly international, Herrmann’s rural Pennsylvania roots continue to influence his work. “I’m very aware of the fact that even if a painting was initially inspired by something exotic, or an extremely personal event on the other side of the planet, all my work is filtered through my studio in the hills of Appalachia,” he explains. “The colors, silence, space, seasons, landscape, even the rednecks impact everything I make. It’s inescapable.”

"Many of my shapes, forms and colors have been extracted from the mountains of Pennsylvania where I live and work, but I also sample bits and pieces of memories and places I’ve never been.  There are glimpses of big oak trees, tropical waves, winter skies, deer legs, and the pink from a summer watermelon – all under the soundtrack and influence of jazz.  These are some of the sparks that start a painting but they are not the whole story.  The initial inspiration is simply a launch pad to shoot a rocket off into the unknown.  Color does not need to represent anything other than itself.  It is universal yet nothing is more personal.  And that’s how I present these paintings.  I’m distilling something that struck me, but the interpretations and feelings others come away with are infinite."
