End Of An Era, A New Beginning

December 05, 2019

After nearly 25 years on South Congress Ave, Yard Dog is moving. We're happy to announce that we’re moving across town to Canopy Austin, right behind the Bale Creek Allen Gallery. Canopy is home to lots of galleries and artist studios - we’re really excited to be in the middle of a larger arts community and we think you’ll like it, too. We intend to carry on with the same artists and aesthetic, as well as the independent spirit in which we founded Yard Dog. We represent a fair number of artist/musicians, so you know we’ll be looking for ways to incorporate live music into our events.

Eight Friday nights a year Canopy holds Open Canopy, when all the galleries and artist studios are open for viewing and various events. We'll be in our new space for the next Open Canopy on Friday, December 13, from 7-10pm. Come by and say hello!

The new gallery will mostly be open by appointment for the time being. We’ll let you know when that changes, of course, and you can follow us on social media for up to the minute news.

We also now have a booth at Uncommon Objects, 1602 Fortview Rd, Austin, TX 78704. They were a huge part of why we wanted to be on South Congress in 1995 and were a great neighbor for 20+ years, so we’re thrilled to be joining them at their “new” South Austin space.

South Congress has been our home since 1995 and will always be a big part of who we are. We've had a lifetime of history on South Congress and leaving is bittersweet, but we're excited about the possibilities in front of us.

We will be at our current South Congress location through the end of December, and you’ll still be able to find us 24/7 online at yarddog.com.

 

Thanks & lots of love to all of our friends.

Bruce Lee Webb - Opening July 6

May 03, 2019 1 Comment

 

 

Bruce Lee
Art From The Heart & Medulla Oblongata
July 6 - August 31
 
Opening Reception for the artist
Saturday, July 6
7 - 9 pm
On July 6 the show will be posted HERE

Yard Dog is very pleased to be showing the work of Bruce Lee Webb of Waxahachie, TX. Bruce is a folk art gallerist (the Webb Gallery in Waxahachie) and an antique dealer (Uncommon Objects in Austin) and in his travels he collects vintage cotton sacks and journal paper on which he then paints and draws.

Bruce Lee’s grandparents were missionaries in the mountains of Kerala, South India during the 1930’s and 40’s, where his mother was born.  In his youth he was surrounded with 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 1980's 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 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.

The Originals: A Group Show Curated By Nate Otto

April 06, 2019

The Originals
A Group Show Curated By Nate Otto
April 19 - May 26
Opening Reception
Friday, April 19
7 - 9 PM
Yard Dog just held a show of Nate Otto's work, now he's curated a show of work by 15 artists of whom he's a fan. Artists featured are: Tony Fitzpatrick (Chicago), Yulia Kuznetsova (Chicago), Casey Sass (Austin), CZR PRZ (Chicago), Julie Murphy (Chicago), Chris Silva (Chicago), Anthony Lewellen (Chicago), Sam Kirk (Chicago), Dirt (Chicago), Gunner Fox (Los Angeles), Vero Boisel (France), Travis Millard (Los Angeles), Tiffany Jan (Los Angeles), Kiel Johnson (Los Angeles), Margie Criner (Los Angeles), and Nate Otto (Chicago). Following is what Nate wrote about the artists he's invited.
Tony Fitzpatrick
Tony is a long time art hero of mine.  He is a Chicago legend.  I see him almost every day as our studios are across the hall from each other.  I am thrilled that he agreed to participate in this show, and he was the first person I asked.
Yulia Kuznetsova
Yulia is an emerging artist based out of Chicago and from Russia.  She does amazing, highly detailed drawings.  She works as Tony’s assistant, and I get to see how hard she works on her own art and it is great.

Casey Sass
Casey is the only Austin resident on this list.  He is a well known tattoo artist and I recently rudely asked him to give me a tattoo of my own stupid design when he was in Chicago, but he is a really good maker of his own work.  When my wife and I were in Austin last year, we went out with Casey and people kept coming up to him asking for tattoo consultations.  I still think that is funny. 
Czr Prz
Caesar is a Chicago based muralist / artist / street artist, who does really tight work.  I only met him recently even though we have known of each other for a while.  He seems like a nice dude, and his work is impressive.

Julie Murphy
Julie is an incredibly talented drawer / illustrator based in Chicago.  She has her own style and her work is super cool.  I met her while watching Game of Thrones at Tony’s house.  I think her work will be a hit in Austin.
Chris Silva
Another Chicagoan, Chris is a local legend.  He came up in the graffiti world, now he does these amazing constructed pieces, installations, and projections.  Go look at his work.  Thanks for participating Chris!

Anthony Lewellen
Another Chicagoan with graffiti roots, Anthony has become the hottest muralist in Chicago.  He is extremely meticulous and I am amazed by the level of planning he brings to everything he does.  I’m pretty much making this shit up as I go, so I’m really impressed when I see someone like Anthony who brings so much professionalism.
Sam Kirk
Sam is a Chicago based artist / muralist.  She has done murals all over the world and she has a very distinctive style.  I met her a few years back when we both did this stupid cooler painting thing for Red Bull. I think Sam “won” that, and that’s cool, but that whole event was super fucking weird.  She is very nice and a great artist.
Dirt
Dirt and I were roommates many years ago and I have always been a fan of her and her art.  Her work is really simple and clean and sharp.  I love when I see one of her murals around town.  She was raised as an artist by street artists and I am willing to bet that she will make something on a found object.  
Gunner Fox
I first got to know Gunner though his art, which I was really envious of, when we were both young students at the University of Kansas.  His work has always amazed me and he is a genuine weirdo and he doesn’t even know it.  We have also done some really cool collaborations over the years.  He always says that he is going to come to Chicago, but it’s never going to happen, but I will be in Los Angeles sometime in the next year, and we will hang for sure.
Vero Boisel
Vero is a french woman who does very cool hand embroidered photographs.  I first became aware of her work when she showed at a gallery Tony helps run in Chicago.  I’m not sure if she met Tony when he was filming Patriot in Paris or if they met some other way, but I’m glad he brought her into my orbit so I could invite her to participate in this show. Thanks Vero. You are the lone international participant.
Travis Millard
We were barely acquainted, but I first met Travis when we were in the same drawing class at KU.  I dropped out of school shortly thereafter, and Travis went on to become a veritable art rock star.  He has accomplished amazing things and backed it up with amazing work.  Los Angeles.  Thanks for participating!

Tiffany Jan
Tiff is a young drawer/ illustrator based in Los Angeles.  I reached out to her when I saw her work on the Instagrams.  It sparked something in my brain and I purchased a small drawing from her.  It looks as though she is gaining traction in the illustration world.  No digital for this, Tiff, send a real drawing or two.  Thanks!

Kiel Johnson
L. A. based, Kiel is an amazing workaholic constructor of cities and beyond, a cardboard maestro.  Became aware of his work due to the KU connection, but I stayed to see all the stuff he has done.  I love his work and I am glad he is participating.
Margie Criner
Margie is a another Chicagoan.  Her husband, David, is a great abstract painter. Margie makes little wood things that you can peer into and see scenes.  They are small.  They are cool.  My description doesn’t do it justice.  Thanks for participating!

24th Annual Yard Dog Parties

Every March, beginning in 1996, during what the City of Austin calls "Spring Festival Week," we have our own little festival in the parking lot and alley behind the gallery.

Steve Wynn: Switching The Polarity of Sight

February 19, 2019

Steve Wynn
Switching The Polarity Of Sight: New Paintings
March 2 - April 14


Switching The Polarity Of Sight is a series of paintings inspired by and created in conjunction with the making of "These Times" (release date: May 3, 2019), the new album by The Dream Syndicate.

"I had my demo studio and my easel set up side by side," says Steve Wynn about his second exhibition at Yard Dog.  "When I got stuck on a lyric, I'd switch to painting.  When I got tired of painting, I'd go back to the notepad.  That was my summer of 2018.  I'm excited that both the paintings and the new album will see the light of day right around the same time.  It makes complete sense.  They're distant but identical cousins."

The title of the exhibition comes from the lyrics of "Black Light," the first single from the new album.  

Steve Wynn is a founding member of the band The Dream Syndicate whose "The Days of Wine and Roses" was one of the key building blocks of the indie rock scene that bloomed following the album's release in 1982. Since then he has performed as a solo artist and as a member of The Baseball Project and Gutterball.  "Switching The Polarity of Sight" is his second exhibition at Yard Dog. 

Steve's new paintings will be on his page on our website HERE.

Nate Otto
City & Sky
March 2 - April 14
Opening Reception
Saturday, March 2
7 - 9 pm
 
Nate Otto is an artist, illustrator, and muralist based in Chicago.  His work occupies its own lane somewhere in between the worlds of folk art, street art, lowbrow art, and contemporary fine art.  His paintings and drawings are ruminations on urban life and landscape and stylistic explorations into what Nate dubs “whateveriwanttodoism.”  In 2018 alone Nate did over fifteen murals in five different cities and he has done recent client work for Apple, Vans, Goose Island, and many others.  City and Sky is Nate’s second show at Yard Dog.
